Experience Summary
I received a Master's degree in French, with a related field in Italian Studies, from the University of Colorado, Boulder, CO. I have traveled, lived, and studied in both France and Italy in various study-abroad programs. Having worked extensively as a French and Italian instructor as well as an English instructor in various schools, I have acquired teaching experience at different levels of education: high school, college, and continuing education courses. I have gained considerable knowledge in the field of education and have acquired a wide range of personal assets and qualifications for dealing with a variety of students of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures.
Teaching Style
With reference to my teaching style, I have kept abreast of the latest technology available in my field by attending workshops and training sessions. I have also gained considerable insight and knowledge by reading the latest research on language acquisition. I continually incorporate new pedagogical skills applicable to the classroom setting, as well as allow students to be creative and flexible with language acquisition by using different learning styles. I am more than willing to assist students with their educational needs through established objectives – and help them not only with their academic concerns, but also teach them leadership skills, and offer and provide encouragement and support.
