French Tutor | Temple University Student | IB Certified

Malakai O.

I have been speaking and studying French since kindergarten, which has given me a strong foundation in both conversational and academic French. I am currently a freshman at Temple University majoring in Business Management with a minor in French, where I continue to develop my language skills through coursework and real-world application. I also hold the International Baccalaureate (IB) certificate, which emphasized critical thinking, global perspectives, and advanced language study, further strengthening my ability to communicate effectively in French.

My experience with French spans many years and multiple learning environments, including structured classroom instruction and one-on-one academic support. Through my education, I have worked with peers of similar age as well as younger students, helping them with vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and conversational confidence. I am especially comfortable working with beginners and intermediate learners, as I understand the challenges students face when learning a new language and can explain concepts in a clear, approachable way.

As a tutor, I focus on adapting my teaching style to each student’s needs and goals. I combine structured practice with real-life examples to make learning French engaging and practical, whether a student is preparing for exams, completing homework, or building conversational skills. I aim to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes, as I believe confidence is key to mastering a language.
