Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: My name is Sophie, I am a native French speaker from Belgium and have over fifteen years of teaching experience. After being a middle school language teacher for years I realized that my passion was for tutoring adults and teenagers one on one or in small groups. I love to build on whatever foundations (if any) my students already have and my approach is fun and interactive, the goal being to communicate as much as possible. I like to think that I make my students confortable enough to actually speak French when in real life situations. That is done by using a lot of open-ended activities such as dialogues, improvisations, Flashcards, games etc.

Sophie served as my French tutor and I can't begin to express my gratitude for that experience. I have studied languages over the years but have never grown so quickly in not only my conversational skills but in my grammar and comprehension, as I did during that time. When I am ready to return to my French studies, I plan to reach back to Sophie for help. With her background in education, she is a patient and engaging teacher who I would highly recommend!
