Experience Summary
My experience in French is quite extensive. I received my BA in French from the College of Wooster,while serving as an assistant/tutor for the department. I went on to pursue my MA in French though New York University’s program, living in Paris, France. I pursued doctoral classes at The Ohio State University, working as a Graduate Teaching Associate and, while I ultimately decided not to finish my thesis, I went on to earn my K-12 teaching certificate at Kent State University. During this time, I taught several college courses at both Akron and Kent State Universities. I did my student teaching at Green Middle School and have been teaching all levels of French for 6 years at Stow-Monroe Falls High School.
Teaching Style
As an educator, I feel it is my responsibility to provide effective instruction and tutoring to each and every student. I believe that all students are capable of learning and that, due to differences in learning styles, instruction and evaluation should be varied and tailored to students’ needs and aptitudes. As an instructor/tutor, my goal is to both help motivate and inspire students while maintaining a warm and positive relationship based on mutual respect and cooperation.
