Bonjour! ¡Hola! Hello! I'm so glad you're here. Whether you're preparing for an AP exam, taking your first French or Spanish class, getting ready for an upcoming trip, or simply hoping to become more confident speaking another language, I would love to help you reach your goals. I have 20 years of experience teaching French and 10 years teaching beginner Spanish, including 15 years teaching AP French Language and Culture. In addition, I have taught ESL sporadically throughout my career. I have also served as an AP French Reader for the College Board, giving me a deep understanding of what helps students communicate successfully and develop lasting language skills.
My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and personalized because I know every learner is different. I strive to create a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and celebrating progress. My lessons emphasize real-world communication, cultural understanding, and practical strategies that build confidence, whether you're preparing for an exam, improving your grades, practicing conversation, or learning a language for travel or personal enrichment. My goal is for every student to leave each session feeling more capable, motivated, and excited about learning than when they arrived. I have experience with ages 13 up to adult and I look forward to helping you with your language journey.
