Experience Summary
I have over ten years of French teaching experience in public and private schools as a certified teacher in Colorado as well as in Texas. The levels I have instructed include French I through V AP. During this time, I helped to choose and fine-tune the curriculum for the entire French program. As the sponsor of the French Club at two Cy-Fair high schools, I organized cultural celebrations which included fundraisers and field trips. I have also taught students privately and in small groups. My Francophone travel background consists of two extended stays in France, Belgium, and Switzerland.
Teaching Style
I tailor my teaching to individual student needs. In general, I use a proven phonics-based program which consists of sound grammar instruction, effective communication techniques, and extensive cultural enrichment. I use a variety of media to improve fluency such as interactive videos, radio podcasts, and in-depth film study.
My Hobbies
Biking, hiking in the country, vegetable gardening, reading and fishing are some of my hobbies.
