- Gretchen, Allen, TX on 6/14/16I am enjoying the lessons very much. It is so helpful to work on pronounciation with a native speaker.
"Good, patient teacher"
- David, Richardson, TX on 10/22/16She is a very patient teacher and I feel she will make learning French a fun experience. She is providing instruction in a very basic concise manner.
"Great Tutor"
- Emily, Plano, TX on 11/3/15Desiree is a wonderful tutor!! We been going to her since August. She sends great homework home with my daughter. She also sends follow up emails with helpful websites. We are very happy with Desiree, and feel my daughter is learning a lot.
"Great tutor"
- Carlos, Plano, TX on 5/29/15Desiree is a very good tutor as she did a great job helping our daughter to improve her French. We could see our daughter grades improving since the classes started. She is much more confident on this language now. I guess a good tutor has to be a bridge between the student and the subject they teach. Unfortunately, most tutors don't understand that their mission is to encourage the student to cross this bridge by their own. Desiree really did a great job teaching/coaching our daughter to make the right steps to reach another level on her French.
She is kind, patient, on time, very professional and a lovely person to work with. I can only say THANK YOU to Desiree for the attention and support she has dedicated to our daughter. I wish her all the best.
"Very Cordial and Flelxible"
- Suzanne, Garland, TX on 7/6/14Our class with Desiree was very enjoyable and informative. She is happy to work with us on specific questions we have and does not force her agenda on us. We are pleased to go at our own pace, which in some areas is advanced and in others not. We look forward to more lessons with her.
"Great!"
- Stephanie, Lewisville, TX on 6/9/14Wonderful tutor for my struggling French II student! Very patient and helpful, sending great links for study between meetings and emphasizing the basics - tremendous find!
Update: We made it through the semester seeing Desiree weekly, with a 10 point improvement! Desiree has really helped her knowledge base and her confidence! Thank you, Desiree and WyzAnt!
"Amazing French Tutor"
- Avia, Allen, TX on 12/17/13I am so glad to have found this amazing tutor to help my stepson. He had been struggling with several concepts in his French 2 class. Ms. Desiree sent me helpful links and games that even further explained and supported what he had learned in his session with her. He came home excited because he had a learning breakthrough. He said the magic words that all parents want to hear, "it's easy now." Thanks Desiree!!! We'll be back!!!
"Amazing Instructor!!"
- Noell, Allen, TX on 10/18/13Honestly I was a little overwhelmed by all the choices of teachers available but we prayed and Desiree is THE BEST choice for my 15 year old daughter. My daughter is so excited for every "hour" lesson. Desiree takes her time and is an excellent and flexible teacher. I am surprised at how quickly she is learning and Desiree works with her to make sure she is pronouncing words correctly. She is accountable to me with a description of each weekly lesson so I know exactly what my daughter is working on. She sends her home with audio and books to work on and stays in touch with me if needed. I feel so blessed to have found Desiree.
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
French
I am a native French speaker, who has been living in the US since 2001. I obtained a French instructor certificate in 2004 and also a certification for DELF and TEF exams.
Being a mother of 4 children (almost all adults now), a school volunteer (meaning with a checked background), and former psychologist, I have excellent communication and contact skills. I will customize my lessons for you regarding your specific goals and learning type.
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!
