Having tutored French to middle and high school students, Emily knows exactly where learners tend to stall — verb conjugation patterns, gendered nouns, and the leap from translating word-by-word to thinking in full French sentences.

Living in France for two years turned French from a classroom subject into Joshua's second language, and he still converses regularly with native speakers to stay sharp. He teaches everything from foundational verb conjugations and gendered nouns to more advanced territory like the subjunctive and relative pronouns, adjusting based on what a student actually needs to unlock the next level.

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.

Studying both linguistics and psychology at the University of Chicago gave Sherry an unusual edge for teaching French — she understands how language systems are structured and how the brain actually acquires new ones.

Viraj is completing a French minor at Cornell, which means he's actively working through the grammar, composition, and oral comprehension that language learners find trickiest.

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.

Learning French well means internalizing patterns — when to use the subjunctive, how object pronouns rearrange in compound tenses, why certain prepositions follow certain verbs.

She's taught French from introductory through advanced levels and holds a 5.0 client rating.
