I tutor French, and I am passionate it. I am a graduate of The University Rennes II, Brittany - France. I received my Degree in English with a focus on English Literature, French-English translation and writing. I also obtained a Certification of French And English Language Proficiency from GRETA of Haute-Bretagne. I have more that fifteen years of experience as a French Tutor / Teacher and successfully taught diverse student populations whose learning and social functioning levels cover a wide spectrum (toddlers in full immersion program to adults in individualized and group lessons settings).
I take the responsibilities of an educator very seriously and will work hard to develop mutual trust and respect. I firmly believe that we all are entitled to an enriching education, respect, and professionalism. My goal is to motivate my students in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities and reveal the activities that truly inspire them. I aim to provide a stimulating learning environment that fosters confidence and encourages the students to reach their full potential
I pride myself on bringing the right measure of enthusiasm into the equation.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing music that which enriches my life, going to concerts, dancing, socializing, reading, and watching basketball.
