Hi! My name is Emmily and I am currently a graduate student at Columbia University, on the path to obtain my MA in French. I earned my bachelor's degree at Drew University, triple majoring in French, English Literature, and Italian, with a minor in teaching. I have extensive teaching and tutoring experience, at varying K-12 levels. I have also TA'd a course in advanced Spanish at my undergraduate university and worked as a Spanish tutor at our center for academic excellence. Currently, I am studying in hopes of becoming a French professor at the university level.
My approach is all about making language learning fun and interactive. I know that grammar can often feel like the most daunting part of learning a new language, so I work to make it engaging and approachable. By incorporating creative activities and real-life examples, I help you tackle grammar with ease and confidence. I also tailor each lesson to your unique goals, ensuring that the learning process is both effective and enjoyable for you. Whether your focus in a language is more conversational or grammatical, I can ensure you have a positive learning experience!
I have worked with students at the secondary and elementary levels as well! I am also a substitute teacher and work to implement curriculum and instruction effectively at all grade levels! I believe learning for younger kids should be most interactive and that they should be able to immerse themselves in a foreign language through methods like play and music!
