Bonjour! I'm Kelly, a former teacher who taught all levels of French to grades 8-16 for ten years. I've privately tutored French to students of all ages for seven years, and have used nearly every French curriculum out there. I taught AP French for eight years and graded the AP French exam in 2017 and 2020. I have training in TPRS and OPI teaching methodologies and hold OPI rater certification from the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language (ACTFL). I lived and studied in Paris for two years and hold a Master of Arts degree in French from Columbia University (NY). Additionally, I interned at the French Embassy in Washington, D.C., and worked as a bilingual production assistant for French public television.

In addition to French, I've instructed AP European History and am certified to teach Social Studies, English, FACS, Health, and Education Technology.

I am passionate about setting students up for success and look forward to helping you achieve your goals! Don't hesitate to reach out.

European History

I love teaching AP Euro through storytelling and a deeply embedded narrative structure. This makes events more memorable and meaningful for all students. My students' average score on the AP Euro exam was a 4.

such a good teacher

She took her time, and when I asked questions she never judged!! She explained topics very well and even gave me documents prior to my exam!

Elle, 7 lessons with Kelly

So knowledgeable and patient!

Kelly has been working on AP Euro with my 15 year old son. In just a few weeks, she has made a huge difference. She is very knowledgeable and able to go over significant material in a way that is clear and interesting. My son was having trouble figuring out how to take what he knew and put it on paper, and she explained everything and gave concrete examples so he understands how to organize his answers. This is a significant part of AP Euro and knowing how to organize what he's reading has given him the confidence he needs to be doing well and enjoying the class. I know this review sounds inflated but it isn't--I teach for a living, and I can say that Kelly is an uncommonly good teacher. I feel lucky to have found her!

Knowledgeable, patient and prepared tutor!

Ms Kelly asked questions about the topics, books used so far before the lesson and was very prepared for the class. My high schooler felt very confident after the class and really enjoyed working 1:1 with her. She was patient and did hands on learning on French concepts to endorse the learning.

Nidhi, 16 lessons with Kelly

Very perceptive to my son's learning style.

Although my son just recently started French tutoring sessions with Kelly, I can already sense a more upbeat and positive attitude from him. He seems more confident which is great, considering the VHL program he has to contend with is very challenging. So far so good !!
