I've enjoyed learning new languages since I was a teenager since it seemed like a change of pace from the structured, rigorous school lectures. Of all the languages I've studied, French holds a particular place in my affections. I try to instill in the kids an emotion-based understanding of the language through phonetics, vocabulary, reading, and speaking. Being a graduate with French as one of my majors undoubtedly improves my ability to teach the language as well as my understanding of it

I enjoy using a flexible approach to teaching since I think that no set, regimented style of instruction can fully convey the beauty of this language. Additionally, I firmly think that using a flexible teaching style allows me to meet the needs of each and every one of my students and maintain an interesting learning environment while assisting them in becoming more proficient in the material. I take care to tailor the lessons to each student's interests and needs, covering as much ground as possible in the language. Additionally, I see to it that students receive help with homework and tests when needed.
