As a native French speaker, Alina doesn't just teach grammar rules — she explains the cultural logic behind them, like why the French subjunctive appears in contexts that seem random until you understand the underlying attitude toward certainty and doubt.

Few tutors can move comfortably between French grammar drills and open-ended conversation, but Olivia has taught French at multiple levels and lists it as one of her favorite subjects.

Her engineering background also means she brings a systematic, logical approach to what can feel like an overwhelming amount of rules.
