Experienced K-12 Teacher Specializing in French and ESOL

Kelsea B.

I have a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of South Florida, with a major in Foreign Language Education and a concentration in French. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in World Languages & Cultures with a concentration in French. I earned a 4.0 GPA in both programs.

I have been teaching professionally since 2021 and have experience working with students from elementary through high school. I currently work as a K–12 teacher, supporting elementary-high school students across multiple subjects. In this role, I provide personalized support, adapt explanations to different learning styles and needs, and work with students individually and in group settings.

I also have experience as an ESOL teacher, where I create interactive lessons tailored to students’ individual goals, abilities, and communication needs. My teaching approach emphasizes clear communication, active listening, questioning, and adapting explanations so that students can understand and confidently apply new information. I have worked with learners from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds and strive to create a welcoming and supportive learning environment.

Previously, I taught French in a public school setting from 2021 to 2024. I personalized instruction according to students’ individual needs, interests, and levels of understanding and used technology and interactive learning tools to increase engagement and confidence. I also completed my student teaching in a blended-learning environment, designing interactive lessons and collaborating with colleagues to support student achievement.

Overall, my experience includes classroom teaching, individualized academic support, language instruction, and adapting instruction to meet different learning needs. I am comfortable working with students of different ages and ability levels and am committed to making learning engaging, accessible, and supportive for each student.
