Natalie
BA Rice University
15+ Years Tutoring

Natalie's background as an English and Biochemistry double major at Rice means she's wired to notice how language works at a structural level — something that pays off when unpacking French grammar, from passé composé vs. imparfait distinctions to the logic behind gendered nouns. She treats French like a puzzle with rules worth understanding, not just memorizing.

Certified French Tutor
Lisanne
PhD Harvard University • BA Brown University
1+ Years Tutoring

Fluency in Spanish and Portuguese gives Lisanne an intuitive grasp of how Romance languages work — the shared Latin roots, the gendered noun systems, the verb tense structures that map across French, Spanish, and Portuguese in predictable ways. She draws on that multilingual foundation to unpack French grammar for students who benefit from seeing the connections between languages rather than learning each rule in isolation. Her PhD work at Harvard, rooted in international and cross-cultural research, keeps her engaged with French-language scholarship and discourse.

Giovanna
BA University of Pennsylvania
8+ Years Tutoring

Earning a certificate in French from Penn required sustained immersion in the language's grammar, literature, and oral communication — not just a semester or two of coursework. Giovanna also tutored French at Penn's Tutoring Center, where she regularly walked students through tricky concepts like passé composé versus imparfait and pronoun placement in complex sentences. Rated 4.9 by students.

Kevin
BA Vanderbilt University
10+ Years Tutoring

Learning French grammar is easier when someone can explain why the passé composé and imparfait exist as separate tenses, not just when to use each one. Kevin takes that structural approach to French, treating conjugation patterns and sentence construction as logical systems students can internalize rather than brute-force memorize.

John
MS Rice University • BA Texas A & M University-College Station
10+ Years Tutoring

A bachelor's degree in French and a master's in Linguistics give John an unusual double lens on the language — he understands both the cultural nuances and the structural rules governing verb conjugation, gendered nouns, and subjunctive usage. He teaches grammar not as a set of exceptions to memorize but as a system with its own internal logic, which makes retention much easier.

She approaches the language like a logical system — breaking down rules for agreement, tense selection, and sentence construction into clear, repeatable frameworks. Rated 5.0 by students.

Andrew
BA University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Georgetown University where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in International Politics with a concentration on Foreign Policy. I also earned a Certificate in Latin American Studies and am a member of Pi Sigma Alpha, The National Political Science Honor Society. I have experience tutoring students in both the SAT and the SSAT. Additionally, my time as an 8th Grade Science teacher here in Dallas has prepared me for the curriculum and challenges facing students in the area. While I offer tutoring in a broad range of subjects from foreign languages to grammar and writing to math and science, I find Physics to be the most enjoyable subject to teach. I see Physics as the science that allows all the other sciences to occur, and I find it helpful to use Physics demonstrations when studying the subject. When it comes to tutoring, I believe that whoever is doing the talking is doing the learning, so my students will be doing the leg work when it comes to their learning. I believe that every student can achieve success in school; each student just learns at their own pace and in their own way. When I have free time, I enjoy reading a good book, playing a game of tennis, or participating in or watching theatrical events.

Mathilde teaches French across three levels, from foundational verb conjugations and gender agreement all the way through complex grammar like the subjunctive and literary tenses. Her linguistics degree gives her an unusual advantage: she can explain why French grammar works the way it does, making rules like passé composé vs. imparfait feel logical rather than arbitrary.

Brody
BA Johns Hopkins University
4+ Years Tutoring

Teaching Spanish across four levels while also covering French 1 through 4 means Brody has internalized how two closely related Romance languages diverge — where Spanish and French share cognates and grammar logic, and where they split in ways that confuse students juggling both. He leans on that cross-linguistic awareness to clarify French-specific stumbling blocks like nasal vowels, partitive articles, and the subjunctive triggers that don't map neatly onto Spanish equivalents.

Hanna teaches these structures systematically while building vocabulary in context, so conjugation tables start to feel like intuition rather than rote memorization.

Solmarie
BA University
10+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Houston. I am currently on track to get a major in Biochemistry and a minor in French. I chose to pursue this major because I am very passionate about studying concepts such as human physiology and pathophysiology. In terms of my minor, I have studied French for approximately 8 years and will be studying abroad in France this upcoming summer. Outside of academia, I enjoy reading, learning languages, and traveling. I enjoy these hobbies because all of them give me the chance to experience many different aspects of the reality I am familiar with. I tutor Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, French, Elementary School Math, and ACT Reading. Although I enjoy tutoring these subjects, my favorite would have to be French. This is because it is a very beautiful language, and I believe acquiring a new language is a very useful skill, as you never quite know when it might come in handy. I enjoy tutoring students, because I understand the difference education can make in a person's life. Furthermore, I believe that everyone deserves the opportunities that come with doing your very best to pursue a better future. Thus, I want to help as many students as possible to not feel distressed and overwhelmed by the pressures of school. Rather, I want them to overcome their anxiety and understand that anyone can achieve their goals if they put in the effort.
