About Me

I am originally from France (born and raised in the very South West), and moved to the U.S. four years ago. In 2011, after finishing my undergrad in English (literature, civilization and linguistics), with a minor in Teaching French as a Foreign Language, I had he opportunity to move to North East Ohio to teach French in a small university. In 2013, I was back in America, but in Delaware this time, where I started a Master's program at the University of Delaware, double majoring in French Literature and Second Language Pedagogy. While studying, I also taught French at UD for two years, co-teaching French 3 and 2 during my first year, and teaching my own classes of French 1 and 3 my second year. After graduating in May 2015, I stayed at UD over the summer to teach English as a Second Language at UD's English Language Institute. Finally, I moved to Baltimore in August 2015 where I taught Advanced French Speaking and Writing for a semester at the Johns Hopkins University. I also taught a night class for the Alliance Franaise in Baltimore. Apart from my professional and academic background, I love to read (17th and 20th century French lit, or really any good 20th and 21st century American novel), and watch probably too many tv shows (ranging from comedy to drama with the sometimes guilty pleasure of bad reality tv). I love to travel and always look forward to my trips back home to see my family in France.

Q&A with Alex

I like to have a student-centered environment, where the learning is the active one during the session, and I am just here to facilitate the discovery of the language. Having the student themselves figure out how the language work is the best way for them to acquire an understanding of the language. I also like to do task-based exercises that are relatable to the student's interests and needs, and in which the student gets to try out the language and play with it.
