Bio

Hi! My name is Art Conley; I am originally from Atlantic City, New Jersey, but grew up in central Texas and central Virginia (but my American English accent is TOTALLY normal, I promise!). I have been studying the French language for over 20 years now, which means that I have an intimate knowledge of not only the French language, but also of the many little annoying things that can plague a poor English-speaker trying to learn a beautiful language (le table? la table? why do tables have...

Hi! My name is Art Conley; I am originally from Atlantic City, New Jersey, but grew up in central Texas and central Virginia (but my American English accent is TOTALLY normal, I promise!). I have been studying the French language for over 20 years now, which means that I have an intimate knowledge of not only the French language, but also of the many little annoying things that can plague a poor English-speaker trying to learn a beautiful language (le table? la table? why do tables have genders, anyway???). I have experience navigating the pitfalls of the French language, and I hope to share some of my tips and tricks with you!

For three years, I lived in France, teaching English in local middle schools and a local high school, as well as tutoring on the side: This time spent among French people, immersed in French culture, has given me a unique perspective on the language, one that I hope to share with you, as well! I will be able to guide you not only in proper French grammar and usage (as recommended by l'Académie Française), but we'll even be able to get into some French colloquialisms, some tried and true slang that the kids are using (spoiler: most of it is just English with a French accent).

I hope to work with you soon! Sign on with me if you're looking for some sessions that are equal parts strict competence and a lot of fun!

-Bachelor's degree in French Language and Literature
-3 years teaching French at the middle and high school levels
-3 years living and teaching in France
-Regular and constant contact with native French speakers

I am here to help! Please feel free to message any time: I love language, so any time of day is a good time for French. Allez, c'est parti! :-)

I have studied the French language for over 13 years, and I have over three years' experience living and teaching in France. I have taught and tutored almost all range groups, ranging from middle school (11-15 years of age) to retirees, and have enjoyed teaching at every level. I pride myself on successfully helping English-speakers to grasp not only the subtle nuances of the language, but also equipping them with the tools to become independent learners. I enjoy a fun and relaxed learning environment.

Knowledgeable and energetic tutor

Art is a wonderful tutor. He knows the French language well, and he also knows the pitfalls and challenges as a language learner himself. The time spent in a lesson with Art flies by because he is so enthusiastic. While he has his own lesson planned, he answers questions as they come up to round out my knowledge.
