Experience Summary
I am originally from Bloomington, Illinois and am studying French and Spanish Education at Illinois State University. I am in my fifth year right now since I have two teaching majors. I will graduate in May 2014. Since my Junior year of high school, I knew that I wanted to teach French. In 2012, I lived in Angers, France and studied at an international university named Universite Catholique de l'Ouest. I lived with a host family and absolutely loved the entire thing. I think studying abroad is one of the greatest things a person can do. I feel more comfortable teaching and tutoring French since I have studied it longer but I feel confident in my Spanish skills as well.
Teaching Style
I will be certified to teach K-12. I believe that the earlier one starts learning a language, the easier it will be for them and the quicker they will learn. While I have recently tutored older students, I have observed and helped teach foreign language classes of all ages.
My Hobbies
I enjoy traveling, reading and watching movies. I have traveled throughout France, Spain, Portugal and all around the United States. I of course, love speaking and learning foreign languages. I look forward to learning Portuguese soon. I have a dream participating on the game show "The Amazing Race" someday. I love animals and try and volunteer at the humane society three to four times a month.
