Hi, my name is Raney and I'm an Texas girl who grew up with a French mother and an Italian father. I speak fluent French and lived in France for a few years before I returned to Texas. I taught English to adults in Paris. I loved this job and want to continue here with either adults or youth. I have a relaxed but structured style in teaching because I believe the student must be at ease before he or she is ready to talk. We have many fears, especially in groups, which limit us in our speaking. My goal as a teacher/tutor is to release you from these limitations.
