My name is Farida (fareeduh). I am a native speaker of French and Arabic, and I am fluent in English. I emigrated from Algeria to the United States 21 years ago.

I have been teaching French at two higher education institutions for more than 20 years. In addition, I privately tutored and still tutoring students of different ages, from middle school, high school to adults who needed to learn French as they were traveling to France.
I created and taught two Arabic courses at the institutions I am teaching now.

What my students say about me:
Very knowledgeable about the subjects I teach
Very patient
Very thoughtful and compassionate
Interested and invested in my students' success

I have traveled and visited several countries, including:
France : I visited few times Paris, Marseille, La Cte d'Azur, and Monaco
. Canada: Ottawa- Montral
England : London
Spain: Madrid, Toledo, and Cordoba
Tunisia: Tunis

There are many other countries I am hoping to get a chance to visit in the future!
