I believe every student can learn, and as a result incorporate a variety of learning techniques to address a variety of learning styles. I wish to develop students in the four language proficiencies (reading, writing, listening, speaking), and as a result I use a lot of hands-on activities which involve movement and engagement on the student's part. At every opportunity, I try to create a multi-sensory experience of language learning for my students, so that they may fully "taste" various languages and cultures. Since coming to the Charlotte region in 1996, I have had a wide variety of experiences as a language teacher, having taught in public, private, homeschool, summer school and tutoring situations. Although my primary focus is teaching French, I have also had the opportunity to equip students in Spanish I and II to continue with their language studies. Passionate about providing

Through teaching students with learning disabilities and tutoring a sister with Down’s Syndrome, I learned not only are no two children alike, but they don’t learn the same either. I pride myself in explaining even what seems to be the simplest task in a variety of ways, and won’t be satisfied until my student not only sees the answer but also understands. I constantly change my teaching style depending on the child and his or her learning style. I am quick to think on my feet if I need to throw the lesson plan “out the window” and start again fresh. I am a caring person who conveys that to those students I teach. One cannot begin to mold a child's life unless you have a mutual trust, love and understanding for one another. It is up to people like myself, dedicated teachers, to help students reach their individual goals. As a cum laude graduate, I have always strived to achieve the

I believe that the first step in teaching is to build a good rapport with the student and understand the problems, fear of study, inhibitions, apprehensions and dreams of the student. Once, the student and teacher are comfortable in each other's presence, things can proceed from there. I find it easy to build a rapport with children and present a light, fun environment where they do not feel threatened. I strongly believe thay my love for studying and taking examinations and my real life experiences while I worked professionally will be beneficial to children whom I teach.Each child is an individual and needs to be understood and approached accordingly.
