Award-Winning French Tutors
serving New Orleans, LA

Years of international banking at Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and the World Bank meant Denise was regularly navigating French in professional and cross-cultural settings — reading documents, corresponding with francophone colleagues, and working within institutions where French is a daily operating language. She also served as Managing Editor of Columbia's Journal of International Affairs, sharpening the kind of close reading and written precision that translates directly into teaching French grammar and composition. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having prepared for and taught the SAT French and SAT French with Listening exams, Andrew brings real familiarity with French grammar — verb conjugations, pronoun usage, subjunctive triggers, and the idiomatic phrases that trip up intermediate learners. He takes an analytical approach to the language, which works especially well for students who think in logical structures.

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! :)

Chelsey studied French through two levels of coursework and brings a structured, analytical approach to the language — breaking down verb conjugations, grammatical gender, and sentence construction so patterns become intuitive. Her background in literature also means she can connect French language learning to cultural context, from reading short texts to understanding idiomatic expressions.

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. She digs into the mechanics that make French click — verb conjugation patterns, gendered agreement, and the partitive articles that English speakers consistently misuse. Her engineering background also means she brings a systematic, logical approach to what can feel like an overwhelming amount of rules.

William teaches French across multiple levels, from foundational verb conjugations and noun-adjective agreement through more complex structures like the subjunctive and conditional tenses. His approach connects grammar rules to real reading and writing so that patterns stick instead of feeling like isolated drills.

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.

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.

Few tutors can match Claire's depth with French: she began at age five, earned a degree in it from Brown, TA'd university French courses, and lived entirely in French during a semester in Senegal. Whether a student is conjugating être for the first time or preparing to discuss Francophone literature, she adapts her teaching to the level and makes the language feel accessible rather than academic.

Learning French means internalizing a new system of verb conjugations, gendered nouns, and sentence structures that don't map neatly onto English. Johann teaches French from beginner through advanced levels and uses his background in theatre to make pronunciation and spoken delivery feel natural rather than forced. His students build real reading and speaking ability, not just flashcard knowledge.

Learning French from Laura means learning from someone who didn't just study the language in a classroom — she lived it during an immersion semester in Toulouse and now pursues it as a full major at Washington University. She unpacks tricky grammar concepts like the subjunctive mood and pronoun placement by connecting them to how French speakers actually talk, making rules feel intuitive rather than arbitrary.

While French isn't Cindy's primary language specialty, her experience learning and teaching multiple languages gives her a structured approach to grammar, verb conjugation, and vocabulary acquisition. She's especially effective at showing students how to decode reading passages and write clear, grammatically sound compositions.
