French is a language to be lived and used, not just a subject to memorize.

Why Work With Me?
Advanced Academic Credentials: I hold a Bachelor’s degree from Colby College and a Master’s degree in French from Middlebury College.
Certified Expertise: I am a certified French teacher with a specialized diploma in Business French (earned in France) and a professional translation certificate.
Real-World Experience: I spent four years living and working in France, with additional time spent in Québec and North Africa.
All Ages & Skill Levels: I have taught grades 5–12, from absolute beginners through AP French Language and Culture, as well as adult professionals and multilingual learners. I taught AP French for many years and understand both the demands of the course and the skills students need to succeed.
What We Can Focus On:
AP & School Exam Preparation: Targeted preparation and strategies matched to the student’s needs, including support with the skills required for AP French Language and Culture.
Untangling Grammar & Pronunciation: Breaking down complex rules into clear, logical steps and filling in gaps that may be getting in the way of progress.
Conversational Confidence: Creating a supportive, zero-judgment space to practice speaking, make mistakes, and build real fluency.
I bring patience, flexibility, humor, and deep expertise to every session. My goal is simple: for you to walk away from our lessons saying, *“I can actually do this!”*
