About me
"Just Say Oui"
I have lived, worked, and traveled extensively in Southern France, and I have been a private French tutor since 2005.
Previously, I worked for 18 years as a K-12 certified French teacher. I have taught all levels of high school French, including levels 1-AP.
I have a BA in French and Psychology with a minor in Sociology and an ESL Certification. I studied French language, culture and literature. I have lived, worked and traveled extensively in Southern France. I received a Fulbright Grant from The US Department of State in 2011 via The Classroom Teacher Exchange Program.
My personal interests include playing tennis since I was a small boy. I have played piano professionally in a jazz quartet for many years. I also enjoy lifting weights, hiking, walking and jogging. I am an amateur chef as well. Lastly, I volunteer as an ESL teacher for our local Haitian community.

MY TEACHING METHOD
I provide a safe, student-centered, relaxed, enjoyable space for my students. You will speak and hear authentic French for the entirety of each lesson, which allows for rapid progression and growth. I will use
authentic French via film, songs, TV shows, podcasts, news reports, interviews, poetry, GAMES, and more via my fully interactive eBook.
In addition, at no additional cost, I offer access to my Google Classroom, which contains a plethora of resources that I've compiled over my 18-year career as a French teacher - to help you master all grammatical structures, improve your listening comprehension, vocabulary and writing skills.
MISSION STATEMENT
To make learning French engaging and challenging through personally designed lessons building upon each other, to help you advance quickly and efficiently to the next level - while having FUN!
