As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's degree in French from East Carolina University, I have over 35 years of experience in tutoring and classroom teaching, specializing in Comparative Literature and French at various levels. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore language and literature. I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their unique learning styles, ensuring that they not only grasp the material but also develop a genuine appreciation for the subjects.

I am dedicated to helping students achieve academic success while nurturing their love for learning, and I find joy in witnessing their growth and confidence. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading diverse literature and exploring different cultures, which further informs my teaching.
