I will use authentic French via film, songs, TV shows, podcasts, news reports, interviews, poetry, GAMES, and more via my fully interactive eBook. MISSION STATEMENT To make learning French engaging and challenging through personally designed lessons building upon each other, to help you advance quickly and efficiently to the next level - while having FUN! MY EXPERIENCE I have lived, worked, and traveled extensively in Southern France, and I have been a private French tutor since 2005. Previously, I worked for twenty years as a K-12 certified French teacher. I have taught all levels of high school French, including levels 1-AP. Since having my own company, I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds and have: - prepared many elementary, middle, high school, and college students for beginner, intermediate, and advanced courses - prepared students traveling to France for the first time - prepared a US Navy Seal for an international assignment - assisted a prospective French teacher in passing her NJ Certification Test - worked with a social worker who has since transferred to the field in Cameroon - taught families preparing for extended stays in French-speaking countries - helped a beginner gain fluency so that he could move abroad to pursue his Master's degree at the IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland - helped a college student complete the entire French 1 curriculum in one summer so that he could comfortably navigate living and studying at Laval University in Quebec PERSONAL INTERESTS My personal interests include playing tennis since I was a small boy. I have played piano professionally in a jazz quartet for many years. I also enjoy lifting weights, hiking, walking and jogging. I am an amateur chef as well. Lastly, I volunteer as an ESL teacher for our local Haitian community. FAVORITE QUOTE Bonheur : as-tu réfléchi combien cet horrible mot a fait couler de larmes ?
