I am a passionate and dedicated French tutor with a francophone background. In the past I have worked on behalf of Alliance Française to prepare students of all ages and backgrounds for French Fluency exams (DELF and DALF). I have also worked as French translator for health NGO workers in Madagascar. I hold a Masters in Legal Studies and previously operated my own travel agency frequently working with clients from France. What motivates me most is seeing my student’s progress through our strong collaborative effort. I like to first understand the objectives of my students as well as their strengths, weaknesses and individual learning style. From there I plan lessons that can shore up any weaknesses and build further upon established strengths. Whether speaking, listening, reading, writing or a combination of these is our focus, I like to incorporate a highly interactive approach to learning. I believe that given the right circumstances anyone can learn a new language and really succeed at it. When I am away from work I enjoy tennis, fishing, and getting out to the countryside.
