Experience Summary
As part of my Undergraduate training, I participated in a summer internship in Meudon, France, where I worked in a French middle school for 6 weeks while staying with a French host family. During this time I was able to travel a bit around France and truly experience the culture and language first-hand. After receiving my BS in French and Secondary Education in 2010, I tutored and worked as a substitute teacher at various levels in French classrooms around Western NY. In 2012, I relocated to Fayetteville, NC, where I began teaching French I-IV in a local high school. Currently, I teach and tutor adults in the French language in Fayetteville. I am a certified teacher of French in NC and have experience teaching students of all levels, from Pre-K to adults.
Teaching Style
I am passionate about language Learning, and as a native English speaker, I empathize with my learners on the difficulties of learning a second language. I understand language acquisition theories and these guide my principles of education. My teaching style is approachable, yet effective. I have many materials and am happy to guide you in the right direction towards finding great educational aids.
My Hobbies
When I am not enjoying fromage, café and all things French, I enjoy traveling and spending time with friends and family. I also like yoga and fitness.
