serving Madison, WI

Earning a degree with a French emphasis means Mac didn't just study the language — he lived inside its grammar, literature, and cultural context for years.

I am a PhD student at the University of Michigan, studying social psychology. Before this, I was at Duke University completing a BS in psychology as well as a MS in global health. My research combines the fields of global health and psychology by examining the effects of culture on self-related psychological processes. I hope to continue in academia to become a professor of psychology, as teaching is among my greatest passions.

I'm not around.

I'm very happy helping others in their studies. Both my language level and my teaching skills will guarantee the quality and efficiency of the tutoring.

Erintrude earned her bachelor's degree in French from Kenyon College, giving her the deep literary and linguistic grounding that AP French demands — from analyzing texts by Francophone authors to constructing persuasive essays entirely in French.

I am proud to say that the eleven-year-old Vietnamese girl and boy that I tutored for 5 years are both attending Medical school. In addition, I am proud to say that I speak, write and read in French, English, Spanish, Haitian Creole and Italian proficiently. Whenever I tell people that I speak French, they often assume that it is not my mother tongue language because I have no accent in English. I am always proud to say that I did not know how to speak English until I was 16 years of age. Learning a language is like cracking a secret code. Once you decode it, the treasure is yours.
