About Desiree


Bio

I am a native French speaker from Belgium, who has been living in the US since 2001. I obtained a French instructor certificate in 2004 and successfully taught French to my children. I am also part of cross-cultural programs for expatriates in French-speaking countries (France and Belgium).

Being a mother of 4 children, a classroom volunteer (meaning with a checked background), and former psychologist, I have excellent communication and contact skills. I will customize my lessons for you...

I believe that memorization works better through intriguing material that suits the level and age of each student.

I look forward to meeting you to access the wonderful and rich experience of French language acquisition!

Wonderful Teacher! Every lesson is better than the last!

Words can’t express how absolutely thankful I am we found Ms. Desiree! My daughter has made amazing progress, and she can’t wait to get to class. My daughter dreams of attending her 10th grade year in France. And Desiree is the perfect teacher to help my daughter realize her dream!

Very knowledgeable and friendly tutor.

Desiree is an excellent tutor. I can see that she loves what she does and is very enthusiastic when teaching her students. Her excitement is refreshing and my teen daughter loves her sessions. She was failing French and was very frustrated. After meeting with Desiree, her quote: "She's amazing! She should teach at my school." Thank you Desiree for reigniting my daughter's interest in learning French, not just for school but for life.

Great first session!

Scheduling my first French session with Desiree was terrific. She created a structured plan and was encouraging and supportive, which did wonders to calm my nerves as it had been some time since I studied with a French teacher.

Erin, 106 lessons with Desiree

Absolutely the Best!

My daughter almos dropped out school because she had 30 assignments due within 4 days. It is a web based college class with no lecture. She has taken French before, but it has been several years. After meeting with Desiree for two sessions she was able to complete the assignments on time and received an A on all of them. Thank you for your help Desiree!
