Tounes. O - Authentic local French speaker

Tounes O.

I make learning fun and casual. I have been speaking French since I was 9 years old, and English since I was 12 (middle school age). Along with my professional experience as an administrative assistant, which requires impeccable writing and communication skills, I also worked as a French lead teacher at a foreign languages school for elementary level students. I loved the interaction with students and their conversational participation. I believe that to learn a foreign language we need to be fully immersed in the language we are trying to learn, and go to the survival mode to pick that side of the brain!

I love learning new languages, and I enjoy giving back as well by sharing my knowledge. My fulfillment is to see my students' progression and help them go beyond their capacity.

I received all my education in France up to 1998 and have been using my French beyond that time. I am a very detail-oriented person and take pride in my professionalism. I read and set all my devices in French, which keeps my French up and going. I will first assess my student's level, and adapt the lesson adequately with each student's level. I am an upbeat person, and I can make you speak French before you know it!

I am new to this program, however, I believe that working in a quiet environment is as important for me as to my student. I will be setting up appointments in a regional library for the beginning as I am in the process of setting my home office up; I am available by appointment and flexible but I prefer 24 hours notice for cancellation and work a make up time. Contact me so we can start on that French conversation! A tres bientot!
