Hello, Bonjour! I am a native English speaker with experience living in France. I have a Bachelor's degree in French and Linguistics and a TESL certificate. I also have my Bachelor of Education for French teaching. I have over eight years of experience tutoring students from ages 5 to 18. I grew up speaking English, French, and Japanese, and can understand your language learning challenges!

French Immersion Program Graduate
8+ years tutoring math and English to elementary and high school students. I am comfortable working through assigned homework together or creating extra worksheets/lessons.
Completed the teacher education program at SFU to obtain my Bachelor of Education. My practicum involved teaching French 10, 11, and 12 (including IB French) at the high school level.
I spent one year living abroad in France and teaching English to middle school and high school students. I focused on encouraging English conversation.
I also completed a teaching practicum for my TESL program where I created games and activities for adult ESL learners.
I believe the best way for students to learn languages is for them to feel comfortable. I am very patient and understanding and try to focus on having fun and achieving realistic goals. Mistakes are okay! I provide feedback at the end of each lesson, and accommodate students' unique learning methods.
My availability is flexible and I can easily adapt to your schedule.
