Award-Winning AP French Tutors
serving Thousand Oaks, CA

Columbia's course catalog doesn't list AP French prep, but Adam's path through AP French Language & Culture and continued study across multiple levels of French gives him a clear read on where students lose points — particularly on the timed interpersonal tasks where hesitation and anglicisms creep in. His 34 ACT signals the kind of disciplined test-taking instinct that pairs well with drilling exam-specific strategies for the cultural comparison and presentational writing sections.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania where I majored in International Studies and Business. I have a strong background in math, critical reading, writing, and french. I have spent several years living abroad and am a native French speaker.

Studying French at the university level while simultaneously teaching it gives Alexandra a dual perspective most AP French tutors lack — she knows both the academic depth of the language and the specific stumbling blocks students hit on timed AP tasks. She digs into the presentational writing and speaking components, breaking down how to organize an argument in French using proper discourse markers and register. Her 1570 SAT reflects the same test-taking rigor she brings to AP exam strategy.

Having studied in France and earned a degree in French Language, Taylor brings real cultural fluency to AP French prep — from mastering the interpersonal speaking prompts to crafting persuasive essays in formal register. She breaks down tricky grammar structures like the subjunctive and conditional so students can deploy them confidently on exam day. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm reveling in this most recent stop on my long and exciting academic path.

I am a PhD student at the University of Michigan, studying social psychology. Before this, I was at Duke University completing a BS in psychology as well as a MS in global health. My research combines the fields of global health and psychology by examining the effects of culture on self-related psychological processes. I hope to continue in academia to become a professor of psychology, as teaching is among my greatest passions.

I am proud to say that the eleven-year-old Vietnamese girl and boy that I tutored for 5 years are both attending Medical school. In addition, I am proud to say that I speak, write and read in French, English, Spanish, Haitian Creole and Italian proficiently. Whenever I tell people that I speak French, they often assume that it is not my mother tongue language because I have no accent in English. I am always proud to say that I did not know how to speak English until I was 16 years of age. Learning a language is like cracking a secret code. Once you decode it, the treasure is yours.

I am a rising Senior currently studying neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania. Science and particularly the inner workings of the brain have been a passion of mine from a very young age, where I remember candidly telling my mother that I would be a neurosurgeon one day.

I am an educator and artist with a passion for languages. I have experience teaching in both Minneapolis and Paris, and I have tutored in K-12 core subject matters - math, science, language arts, and social studies. I have my Master's of Education from the University of Minnesota in Second Languages and Cultures with a narrow focus on English as a Second Language. I am fluent in French and have an intermediate level in Spanish and Arabic. My main goals when working with students is to meet them where they are at in their learning, as well as use creative ways to make knowledge accessible. When I'm not teaching, I am spending time outside, reading up and working on anti-oppression, and watching movies. I am also a novice herbalist and astrologer, and hope to dedicate more time in learning about our plan(t)cestors and how they help with healing.

I'm an MIT student with a background in mathematics and computer science. I love working with data and making sense of numbers. I hope I can share my passion for these subjects!

Ben tutored beginning French classes in Dartmouth's French department and then spent a full year living in France, which means his AP French instruction is grounded in how the language actually sounds and functions — not just textbook conjugation tables. He zeroes in on the presentational writing and interpersonal speaking tasks that carry the most weight on exam day.

I am senior at Brigham Young University with a 4.0 GPA. I am majoring in Exercise Science and am going to go to Physical Therapy school. I am also getting a minor in Psychology. I lived in France for two years and became fluent in the French language. I continue to converse with natives in French. I was a college chemistry TA for three semesters and love teaching chemistry. I did very well on standardized tests. I love to teach and impart knowledge to others in a way that is compatible with individual learning styles.
