Since 1982, I have been learning, studying and teaching French. I attended Concordia College in Moorhead, MN and earned a Bachelor's Degree in French from there after visiting France and French speaking Canada many times prior to graduation. During high school, I participated in a month long immersion study of French and earned a 1 year credit. This not only allowed me to learn, but to use what I had learned. I have had the privilege to teach students from ages 3-99 French. I have taught high school student, people wanting to travel to French speaking areas of the world, preschoolers and adults of all ages. Some were just learning English, so this was helpful in the infant steps of learning a language. Others were adults that had learned the language many, many years before and wanted to renew their love of the language.I not only tutor French 1,2,3,4 but AP level, Test prep and can help native French speakers understand English as well. Having taught my husband English, I know firsthand the challenges of learning languages from a non- native speaker. I don't have a preference of level of French you want to learn, but you must want to learn. Taking on a foreign language can enhance your life in more ways than one, so you must be open to learning all the aspects of the language the words, culture, food, history and traditions.I take a well-rounded approach to learning French. It's a way of life. Listen to the music of the language. Find French around you in your daily life. Before we even start the formal learning we already know over 1000 words as we use them in English, so this is something I will encourage all of my students - to keep your eyes open to the French all around you. Traveling is a great way to enhance our learning of French, whether we go to France, Canada, or just visit through books, movies and music. Engage in what an opportunity you have to grow, see the world as a bigger place and apply what you learn to other parts of your life. As a traveler, I have been to France many times. I have lived, worked and had a child there. My in-laws still live in the suburbs of Paris. My oldest child learned French from birth and we have continued the traditions, customs and heritage in our home for over 20 years. I have a passion for baseball, scrap booking, reading, traveling and music. I feel French in a part of all of those interests and I hope you'll find a way to connect what you like to French too. I am excited and interested in getting to know you and creating a learning environment where you can grow, until then... A bientt - votre professeur de franais

I have a graduate degree in industrial engineering from Concordia University. Since childhood, I have always been an active and attentive student, maintaining a fine balanced between academic and social life. My tutoring experience says that to be a good tutor you need the following attributes: subject-knowledge, positive attitude, appreciating and calm nature, and good communication skills. And apart from having all these, I have one more superpower:: - EMPATHY. Through empathy, I identify the student's problems much more more more easily and that's how I help them. I am passionate about tutoring Math.

I am a dedicated STEM educator with over 20 years of experience teaching high school science, including advanced placement courses. I hold a B.A. in Chemistry from Knox College and have two masters' degrees in science education and Teacher Leadership. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about making STEM accessible and engaging for all, believing that every student deserves a strong foundation in science to unlock future opportunities. Past students have told me that I have the ability to take complex scientific concepts and break them down into manageable, understandable parts, I strive to make students feel supported and inspired. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is witnessing the pride and excitement students experience when they conquer challenging topics. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy traveling, exploring the night sky through my interest in astronomy, and taking long walks with my dogs.

Personal Statement

I am an experienced English teacher with a TEFL certificate and over 10 years of teaching ESL/ELL/ESOL. I hold a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction, specializing in ESOL. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with K-12 and adult learners, helping them improve their English skills and build confidence in themselves. My passion for teaching is rooted in creating positive, engaging learning environments where students thrive. Having taught English online for over seven years, I particularly enjoy connecting with children (ages 4-18) and helping adult learners express themselves more clearly in English. I believe that teaching should be both effective and enjoyable. By understanding my students' interests, I can personalize their learning experience to meet their individual needs and goals. An engaging, stress-free classroom fosters natural language acquisition and encourages students to reach their full potential. With a background in Anthropology, focusing on cultures and languages, I find joy in working with diverse students from around the world. It's incredibly rewarding to learn from them while guiding them in their English language journey. In my free time, I love spending time with my family, visiting museums, and exploring the outdoors.
