Award-Winning AP French Tutors
serving Salem, OR

I'm a fourth year medical student who will graduate from Georgetown University School of Medicine in May 2025. I have been tutoring since high school in a wide variety of subjects at all levels of education from elementary school to the graduate level. My tutoring philosophy is to identify where and how students are struggling and to use each student's learning style to break down concepts and learn in smaller steps. While I have a wide breadth of subjects in I am comfortable tutoring, I am most experience in the maths and sciences

I am a PhD candidate in Anthropology, and I love the exhilarating work of helping my students grasp difficult concepts. Whether it's planning how best to engage them, or working one-on-one with a student until they have that breakthrough and connect the dots between theory and real life, I thrive on the dynamic process of making knowledge not only accessible but also thrilling and possibly life-changing.

I am a graduate of Reed College with a degree in Classics. I came to Portland five years ago all the way from New York city and fell in love with the community and landscape of the Pacific Northwest. I worked as a peer tutor in high school and college, and have tutored English, Math, Reading, Writing, Attic Greek, Latin, and Humanities. I also spent five years as a Hebrew School teacher where I worked with elementary age children teaching basic Hebrew and Jewish studies. I'm passionate about tutoring because I believe every student can achieve any academic goal they set their mind to as long as they are given the tools for success. I aim to turn every "I can't" into "I know I can." I want to instill in my students a confidence in their own academic abilities and a true love of learning. I like to work with a student's unique skills to help them master new or difficult material. My ultimate goal is to help my students truly comprehend the material, and be able to apply what they have learned when encountering new problems and questions. When I'm not working I spend my time hiking at the Sandy River Delta with my husky puppy, Kili, or whipping up new vegan recipes. I love to read, especially modern fiction and historical biographies, and try to travel as much as I am able; my most recent trip was to Italy, and this winter I am heading South to the Antarctic.

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

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

Pursuing a degree in French with plans to specialize in French-English translation, Sarah brings a translator's ear to AP French prep — she teaches students to stop converting English thoughts word by word and instead build sentences that sound naturally French, which is exactly what graders reward on the interpersonal and presentational tasks. Her English minor also sharpens her ability to pinpoint where interference between the two languages causes errors in register, syntax, and idiomatic phrasing.

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.

I'm New York City born and raised. I graduated from the University of Chicago last year with a degree in East Asian Languages and Civilizations. I am developing my own teaching methods to evolve traditional East Asian and French language acquisition, and to do this I need even more experience. My course of study has been directed at learning as much as I can about the culture, economy, and history of East Asia, China and Japan in particular. I view myself as someone who is entrepreneurial, collegial, individually motivated to produce high quality work, as well as foster a love of the subject which I teach. I am compassionate and enjoy working with both children and adults. I believe I have something to learn from everyone I meet.

Computer engineering majors don't usually double-major in French — but Sasha did, which means her fluency was built through rigorous academic study alongside native-level coursework rather than casual exposure. She tackles the AP French exam's cultural comparison and persuasive essay tasks with the same structured precision she applies to engineering problems, breaking down how to deploy subjunctive constructions and formal register under timed conditions.

I am capable of teaching French comprehension and structure with confidence and a great deal of experience.

I am friendly, reliable, and most importantlycommitted to helping you learn! It is my top priority to create a positive learning experience that will help boost your test scores without boring you to tears. After all, shouldn't learning be fun?

She knows how to break down the presentational and interpersonal communication tasks that drive AP scoring, and her translation studies background sharpens students' ability to think in French rather than mentally converting from English.

Andrew's experience with the SAT Subject Tests in both French and French with Listening means he already knows the grammar structures, idiomatic expressions, and listening comprehension skills AP French demands. He approaches the exam's interpersonal and presentational communication tasks with the same analytical rigor he brings to his science and humanities subjects.

As a second-year medical student with a strong foundation in science and a passion for education, I specialize in making tough subjects easier to understand. I excel in math, biology, physics, and other challenging topics that often intimidate students and I genuinely enjoy helping others master them. My approach combines patience, clarity, and high-level understanding to break down complex ideas into manageable, confidence-boosting lessons. Whether it's reviewing homework or prepping for exams, I'm here to support and motivate students at any level below mine to reach their full academic potential. My interests include: Weightlifting and fitness training (especially strength and hypertrophy programs) Morning cardio and physical conditioning Studying medicine with a focus on anatomy, physiology, and clinical problem-solving Teaching and tutoring tough academic subjects like math, biology, and physics Watching anime as a way to relax and recharge (especially after a long day) Cooking (with a focus on high-protein, keto/carnivore meals)

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.
