Award-Winning French Tutors

Learning French through all four levels takes sustained momentum, and Ivanna keeps students progressing by linking new grammar — passé composé versus imparfait, relative pronouns, conditional constructions — back to patterns they already know. Her own experience as a multilingual learner gives her sharp instincts for where English speakers tend to stumble in French.

Having studied through French 3, Annelisa is well-suited for students building their foundation in the language — verb conjugation patterns, gendered nouns, and the tricky rules around articles and prepositions. She breaks down grammar concepts methodically, connecting written exercises to how the language actually sounds and flows in practice.

Cognitive science trained Rochelle to think about how people actually learn and retain new information — which turns out to be exactly what you need when tackling French vocabulary, verb forms, and pronunciation that refuse to stick. She teaches French at every level from beginner through advanced, and her genuine love for the language comes through in how she connects grammar concepts to real conversational use. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

Having studied French through an advanced level, Emeka tackles grammar structures like the subjunctive, relative pronouns, and passé composé vs. imparfait with the same precision he brings to his engineering work. He breaks down conjugation patterns and sentence construction systematically, making the logic of French accessible to students who feel overwhelmed by memorization.

Living in France for a year and tutoring in Dartmouth's French department gave Ben a feel for the language that goes well beyond verb charts. He unpacks tricky grammar concepts like the subjunctive and object pronoun placement by connecting them to real spoken patterns, making the rules intuitive rather than arbitrary. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm a student at Brown University with an eclectic set of interests. I am trilingual, analytical, and creative and look forward to tutoring you! :)

Sara is minoring in French at Washington University in St. Louis and has studied the language through the advanced level, giving her a deep understanding of verb conjugation patterns, gendered grammar, and the subtleties of written French. She teaches grammar not as a set of disconnected rules but as a system that becomes intuitive with the right practice. Rated 4.7 by students, she covers everything from foundational vocabulary to complex literary and conversational registers.

Jacob studied French alongside his East Asian Languages degree at the University of Chicago and teaches across all four levels of the language, from foundational verb conjugations to the nuanced reading and listening comprehension required for AP French Language and Culture. He approaches grammar and vocabulary through cultural immersion techniques he's developing himself, connecting sentence structure to real French media and conversation rather than rote drills. Rated 5.0 by students.

Learning Spanish to a degree-level depth gave Sydney a strong grasp of Romance language mechanics — the gendered nouns, conjugation systems, and sentence structures that French shares with Spanish — which she uses to demystify French grammar for students who find it intimidating. She's particularly good at drawing cross-language parallels that make new vocabulary and verb patterns click faster. Rated 4.9 by students.

Though French isn't Anna's core concentration, her American Studies program at Brown includes cross-cultural coursework that sharpens how she approaches language learning — treating vocabulary and grammar as part of a broader cultural system rather than isolated exercises. She covers French 2-level material like irregular verb patterns and conversational basics, bringing the same structured, goal-oriented teaching style that's earned her a 5.0 rating across her other subjects.

Teaching French through all four levels, Lacey tackles everything from foundational verb conjugations in passé composé to nuanced reading comprehension of literary passages. Her classics training gave her deep familiarity with how Romance languages evolved from Latin, which she uses to demystify French grammar rules that otherwise feel arbitrary.

Four levels of French coursework gave Alessia a thorough command of everything from partitive articles to the plus-que-parfait. She teaches grammar as a system rather than a set of isolated rules, so students start recognizing patterns — like how object pronoun order works — instead of memorizing charts. Her 5.0 rating speaks to the clarity she brings to the language.

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.

Born and raised near Paris, Sophie is a native French speaker who earned her degree at Brown — meaning she understands French from the inside and knows exactly where English speakers get tripped up. She digs into verb conjugation patterns, gendered agreement, and sentence structure with the kind of intuitive explanations only a true bilingual can offer.

Laura studied French through the third-year level and approaches the language with the same analytical rigor she applies to her other subjects. She unpacks grammar concepts like the subjunctive and object pronoun placement by connecting them to patterns students already recognize, making conjugation tables and agreement rules feel less arbitrary.

Ashley has studied French through the advanced level and maintained her fluency alongside a demanding engineering career. She tackles tricky grammar concepts like the subjunctive mood and compound tenses with the same structured, logical approach she applies to engineering problems — breaking rules into patterns students can internalize rather than just memorize.
