Maurice

6+ Years Tutoring

French isn't Maurice's primary teaching area — his strengths cluster around math, science, and writing — but his Talmudic Studies background means years of close work with texts in multiple languages, building the kind of disciplined reading and grammatical analysis that transfers well to learning French vocabulary and sentence structure. He approaches language study the same way he approaches math: systematically, with clear steps and plenty of repetition to make patterns stick.

Anniessa
MS University of Minnesota-Twin Cities • BA Mcgill University
9+ Years Tutoring

Learning French from someone who has actually lived and taught in Paris changes the experience entirely — pronunciation, idiomatic expressions, and cultural context come through naturally rather than as footnotes in a textbook. Anniessa tackles grammar concepts like the subjunctive, object pronoun placement, and passé composé versus imparfait by connecting them to real spoken and written French. Her Master's in second language education means she understands how language acquisition actually works, not just what the rules are.

Lauren
MS University of Chicago • BA Kent State University at Kent
7+ Years Tutoring

Lauren earned her bachelor's degree in French, which means she doesn't just teach grammar rules — she understands the language from the inside, including the irregular verb patterns, gendered agreement quirks, and subjunctive triggers that textbooks often gloss over.

Skyler
MS Stanford University • BA Barnard College
8+ Years Tutoring

Skyler's language-learning background extends beyond her Russian specialization — she has studied French formally and brings a linguist's eye to verb conjugation patterns, pronoun usage, and the grammatical structures that trip up English speakers. Her approach connects French grammar to the logic behind it, so rules like the subjunctive mood or passé composé vs. imparfait distinction actually make sense rather than feeling arbitrary.

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.
