Experience Summary
As a French native and a resident of the United States, I developed a profound interest in foreign languages and teaching French. My degree in Computer Science, mathematics and my subsequent experience in the field in France and Quebec, Canada enabled me develop my critical thinking abilities and writing research papers during my studies helped me with my grammatical skills. Since 2004 I have taught French (speaking, listening comprehension and reading comprehension as well as grammar) to individuals at different levels. My others specialities are Physics and biology.
Teaching Style
A dedicated, organized and professional yet flexible educator with several years experience in teaching French, I believe that motivating students is the most important factor for the teaching/learning experience. My experience tells me that if students are not actively participating in class, they are not learning. Therefore, I believe that students must be active learners. My job as an educator is to guide them in their learning process, to learn about their learning styles and teach them in a personalized manner to the extent possible, to entice their curiosity and interest to learn more. Furthermore, I insist on the memorization by repetition by using mnemonic tricks, flash cards, reviews.
