About
I have traveled the world and helped hundreds of people who needed to learn languages. Whether from English to French, or French to English, or to help those who have little or no English learn the English language. One of my students in a local high school scored the highest grade in all of Hillsborough county in her 2014 IB Test; two others went from failing grades to A+. Those are results I love to see!! I have now taught over 500 students in the last 12 yeras.
My family is French and I was educated in France. It is my passion to teach the French language the correct way. While learning grammar and vocabulary are important, dialogue, reading, conversations about France add to the student's experience in learning a new language. Since American is not my first language, I learned it as an adult and obtained a completely different outlook on how to best learn a new language and achieve consistent results.
My areas of expertise include a correct French pronunciation, a proven way to explain the intricacies of learning French, a fluency that only natives can have and a passion for teaching the correct way.
My experience includes teaching American citizens relocating to France, and French citizens relocating to the United States; translating books and pamphlets, correcting and proofreading numerous articles and brochures. I have written articles in French for different websites. I welcome French speaking visitors to the White House for 7 years. I made a long term career in the legal field.
I take great pride in my teaching capabilities and especially transferring that knowledge to others. It's a journey that leads to a far better life, better curriculum and numerous more doors to be opened.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have priced my classes to $49.00 an hour as that includes the class and preparation work. In addition, I offer free consultation in between classes to answer any questions the client may have. The student does not have to worry about paying a fee to get an answer to perhaps an urgent question for a test, or an explanation of a topic and wait until the next class.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I discuss with the client what are their expectations and then formulate a plan to get the student where he or she wants to be. Together we set up several guidelines which depend on what the student expects from learning French. There is a big difference between a student needing help for a test or a customer who wants to visit France in the future.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My family is French and I was raised in Paris. I studied at l'Universite de la Sorbonne in Paris and have a Baccalaureat in International Affairs. I taught French and English at the American Embassy in Paris for 7 years. I have been teaching French all my life and specifically on line for the past 12 years.
