I am originally from Burundi in East Africa, and it is a country that speaks French as well as the national language. Also, from the age of 12 years old, I moved to Belgium to study there and then mov... ed to France where I studied and lived for about 10 years. French is my first language and I am fluent in both French and English. I came to the United States for my University and while there, I taught French to my English speaking friends and tutored them occasionally, that even lead me to write a lesson book to help them understand the language. Though I do not have a teaching certificate in French, I am more than qualified to teach French and I can do it in my sleep. Please, do not be deterred by the lack of certificate and give me an opportunity to show what I can do, I really love teaching French to non-speakers. Thank youread more

Hi, my name is Linca, I am originally from Burundi (a tiny country in East Africa), but I currently reside in Los Angeles, CA. I grew up in Europe, particularly in Belgium and France, but I also lived... in Senegal (West Africa) and Rwanda ( East Africa), as well travelled to many countries throughout my life. I am passionate about art, I love drawing (mostly digital art), and am in love with fashion ever since I was a little girl. I have developed a passion for teaching that grew because of my upbringing traveling the world. I have always loved learning from others, so communication has always been a crucial part of my life, and that is when I started to love languages. Tutoring in French is something I have always done without any expectations as my friends always asked me to teach them French and I would immediately oblige. I believe that breaking the barrier of languages is important to bridge the gap between communities and people. So, my philosophy when it comes to teaching French is to find a way to help the students be able to communicate clearly their heart with a French speaker, whether temporarily as tourist or as a lifestyle on a daily basis. I am hardworking and super passionate and I love helping people in general, I will walk my students through the process of learning the language and feel like they will be leaving with all the tools needed and a new language in their pocket. I am very fun and open and I believe that those who will work with me will leave feeling empowered and satisfied.read more
