Bio

Hi! If you are researching tutors, then you have already taken a step toward your own success. I am a native English speaker and a classroom French teacher and have always been thrilled to witness language acquisition (in other words, when you start to unlock that puzzle of a new language).

Hi! If you are researching tutors, then you have already taken a step toward your own success. I am a native English speaker and a classroom French teacher and have always been thrilled to witness language acquisition (in other words, when you start to unlock that puzzle of a new language).

I have been fortunate to travel internationally since my teen years: mostly Europe and Québec but also the French Caribbean, and Egypt. I have spent one summer working on a Kibbutz in Israel and another summer doing homestay with families in Normandy, France.

I am a certified teacher in the state of Georgia. I received my B.A. in French from William Smith College in Geneva NY in 1983. As an undergrad, I received academic (grade based) scholarship every semester and I was named to the Dean's List sophomore through senior years. Study abroad included a semester in Paris covering coursework in art history, theater, and French language at the Alliance Francaise (Raspail). After graduation, I moved to Atlanta GA, where I became certified as a French to English translator through Georgia State University. I earned my Master of Arts in Teaching at Emory University, supported by a fellowship. This prepared me to be an effective classroom teacher for both high school and middle school.

My teaching certificate reads French K-12, ESOL and Social Sciences. I have the Gifted endorsement.

I will ask you to identify your areas in need of improvement and your desired goals. Looking forward to meeting you!

French

French

I am a certified teacher and hold an active teaching certificate. I have been a student of French all through high school, college and at the Alliance Francaise, so I have received plenty of formal instruction. But the real test comes in the real world. On a recent visit to Montreal, Canada, I had a long conversation with a hotel clerk on a variety of subjects. At the end of our discussion, she took a good look at me and said "Wow, you're good!" I am still smiling about that.

Super knowledgeable, caring, and profession French Teacher -- oral and written French

Our son has worked with Robin throughout high school, for IB French and IB French Honors. Robin has been a consistent resource, patient and very efficient. Our son has been blessed to work with her over the years. As a professional teacher, she is very seasoned in both curriculum and in working with kids of all ages. Over the years our son worked with Robin, she has shown great kindness and flexibilty and responsiveness to his educational needs and French courses.

I had a great experience with Robin! She was very informative and made me feel very comfortable. Whenever I had a question, Robin would explain the answer to me thoroughly. She always made sure that I understood the material before we moved on to a new topic.
