When I was a student, I found that my French coursework became much more engaging when I understood its use and broader context within the Francophone world. This is the type of knowledge that I plan to share with my own students. What they are studying can actually be exciting and useful. I was lucky enough to study abroad twice during college. Living in France dramatically improved my language skills. I became a much more confident speaker, and developed a sense of spoken French outside of the classroom. My real passion for French comes through when I am speaking it. Confidence is one of the key factors in mastering a language, and it is a trait I wish to impart as a tutor.
