Brett Powell
Introduction: I am a translator by trade, but I offer services for translation, editing, and language instruction.
I can help you learn specific aspects of French, or we can start from the beginning. I have a ton of patience and passion, because I want you to walk away feeling like you learned something.
I have an M.A. in French literary translation from NYU and have consistently studied domestically and abroad since I was very young.

I have had the pleasure to be able to start working with Brett as my tutor through immersive learning in virtual reality. Not only is Brett tremendously easy to talk to and work with- being a beginner at learning French as my chosen language he never has no problem with repeating phrases multiple to help with my own personal difficulties with pronouncing particle phrases or words. As a new student of the language I am very self conscious of my pronunciation- Brett is very great working with allowing me to repeat listen to him, and repeat again. He has a pretty great sense of humor, and is awesome to work with; I would highly recommend Brett as a tutor to anyone and especially if you are new to the language.

Brett is an outstanding tutorial. He is very empathetic to understanding my needs in learning the French language. He always shows up prepared with a lesson plan in hand, and walks me through practicing my speaking and helps me to understand the grammar. Very thorough, and I can tell he is also a very kind individual!

Upon first meeting Brett I felt instantly comfortable knowing that I was in good hands. His demeanor helped me relax and forget about being self-conscious. The clarity in which he speaks and his superb pronunciation has made my task of learning quite simple and to the point- even enjoyable. I've learned much more from him in a short amount of time than I have ever learned enrolled in a routine school course for weeks on end. Highly recommended!
