I am a world traveler. I graduated from college in Paris and speak 7 languages! But, French is my favorite! I teach my students proper pronunciation as well as commonly spoken French you would use everyday in Paris. I have a Bachelor's of Arts, and have lived and worked in Tulsa for the last 12 years. I have trained and tutored students to quickly learn Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. I've also tutored in Algebra, History, Economics, Science, and Calculus.
Additional Background:
I am currently working freelance as a French-English Translator and Interpreter. I have a background in the Paris Fashion Industry. And was previously certified at the Lorenzo de Medici Linguistics School in Italian--Florence Italy. My interpreting and translation specialties include: business, fashion, legal, contracts, wine, import export, marketing, adverising, project and operations management.
While at the University of Tulsa I was a Mathematics Minor. Some of my favorite college subjects were Economics, Parisian Architectural History, French Cultural History, Near Eastern Archeology, Roman and Greek History.
As a result I include a great deal of Culture, Slang, and were to go what to do in my French lessons, especially for those planning a trip to Paris!
Additional French Tutoring Specialties:

Other Subjects:
Mathematics
Algebra I, II, and Precalculus
While attending the University of Tulsa, I was a math minor. I completed my studies through Calculus III and Differential Equations. In my many years of tutoring, I have stayed very atuned to students' needs in Algebra and Pre-Calc. I often consider these 4 years of study between 8th and 12th grade the most fun and exciting.
Spanish
In my day-to-day work I speak Spanish in Business with customers as well as fellow workers. This is becoming more and more common for everyone in America. Learning Spanish to communicate with employees, tenants, and customers increases your company's bottomline. Making more money by being able to communicate with the Hispanic community in your city can increase your income by thousands of dollars for life of your career or business! Not to mention, foreign language experience may be the deciding factor in getting that next job!
The majority of my Spanish language students are professional adults learning to speak the langauge specifically for their business or occupation. All curriculae are specificly tailored to each student's background and needs.
