About Me

I am a native French speaker from Paris, France. I love to share my knowledge and experience of the French language and culture. I have taught and tutored children and adults from introduction to French to more advanced levels and can help you improve your AP Test scores. I have also helped adults prepare themselves for trips to French speaking countries. I believe that communication starts with the correct pronunciation in order to understand and be understood. Therefore I make a point of teaching my students how to correctly pronounce words which can be somewhat difficult for Anglophones. I also emphasize on teaching the language and culture using authentic sources to gain a fuller understanding and appreciation of the various French-speaking countries in the world. When I don't travel to France, I rely on various media to stay in touch with the French culture and current events. I am patient and resourceful and would like to help you succeed!
