Bonjour! I am Melissa, an experienced classroom and online teacher in French and ESL. I have experience teaching and tutoring children from ages 3-13 in a language that is foreign to them. I am also a homeschool mother to four children. My days are saturated in learning!

My goal for young children is to expose them to the French language in an immersive way. I utilize a variety of techniques to achieve this: TPR (Total Physical Response), real pictures or pieces of art to acquire vocabulary, songs, poetry, books and stories to acquire verbs, vocabulary and grammar structures. Very young students who are not yet reading will receive the language auditory, and will be able to produce the spoken language with support from me. Older students who can read will also receive reading, writing and pronunciation support from me as well. These will be lessons created by me for students wishing to take an online French class.

I can also be available online to middle school students wishing to have extra help with their school French Homework, or extra practice to help pass their state proficiency test in French. Classes will be in English and French. The intent is not to frustrate a child who is already "lost", but to support their needs in a way that allows for better comprehension. I want to meet your child where they are at, and go from there.

I have a Bachelor's degree in French education from SUNY Brockport. I spent some time abroad in Tours, France. I studied the French language and culture at Institut de Touraine. I also have a Masters in Education, specificially for Reading specialist.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any requests or questions. I look forward to meeting your child!
