Ashli: Riverdale tutor

Certified Tutor

I am passionate about languages and helping you learn to speak better French or English! I provide engaging activities and authentic resources to help you build confidence and the skills to communicate effectively...in real life! My goal is to get YOU actually using the language- right away. You can be confident that you have a patient and understanding tutor, and I congratulate you for taking this step to start or continue learning a new language. I can promise my passion and excitement will have an effect on you as you see learning English and French can be enjoyable, fun and natural.

I have over 10 years of experience in education teaching English Second Language and French in group and individual settings. I have taught at the college level as well as the high and elementary levels. These experiences have helped me learn and practice many different techniques as I have encountered many different learners. You can be sure that I will take the time to find out about your learning style and interests and that I will have an idea for how to best help you learn and enjoy ESL and French.

It is my practice to provide engaging and varied activities to help students deepen their skills in speaking, reading, writing and listening with improved vocabulary and grammar abilities to strengthen their confidence. I promote fluency through social interaction, engagement and collaboration! I have a BA and a MA in French Language and Culture, and I also minored in German and Bilingual Education.

I cannot wait to have the opportunity to work with you to help you achieve your goals! I am happy to answer any of your questions and to tailor a lesson to suit you exactly.
