About Me

I have a Bachelor's degree from College of the Holy Cross in French and Psychology, and a Master's of Public Health from Columbia University. I work in global health, primarily supporting women and children's health programs in Francophone West and Central Africa. I have experience tutoring students from elementary age up through high school, both tutoring French students in English while I was studying abroad in Strasbourg, France, for a year in college, and tutoring American students in French. I have worked as a freelance French interpreter and translator and for UNICEF and the United Nations Foundation and would be happy to share with students how French can open doors professionally. In addition to keeping up my French, I have studied a number of languages as an adult (Arabic, Spanish, German, Bambara), and so I have ideas about what works and doesn't work in terms of teaching foreign languages to both school-aged students as well as adults. I have my own teaching materials and am happy to incorporate students' materials and interests into the lesson plan. I have strategies for keeping the material interesting and dynamic, and I offer a supportive environment for them to practice their skills. I look forward to discussing how I can best tailor my lessons to meet your needs!
