Linguist French Teacher, The Bilingual Method

I have been teaching and tutoring French for over 10 years. I have also taught High School Spanish and crash courses in Mandarin Chinese and German. My degree and experience in Linguistics helps me to avoid using technical jargon and explain how French works without intimidating or confusing my students. My teaching approach is friendly and conversational, and is most influenced by the Direct Approach methodology of Siegfried Engelmann and the Bilingual Method of Wolfgang Butzkamm. My lessons are fun and engaging, and they produce phenomenal results! My students, of all skill levels and backgrounds, find the exercises to be intuitive and exciting. Best of all, they find that they quickly develop the skills and knowledge necessary to no longer need a tutor, and that their understanding of French is profound. Though I love tutoring and getting my students up to snuff in their classes, my comprehensive French course is the best way to begin. In my comprehensive course, I take an absolute beginner, or a struggling intermediate student, and run them through the entire structure of the language, while providing them with a very large and productive vocabulary. In my free time I often study Latin and Ancient Greek, or the native languages of the students to whom I teach English. I also homeschool my children and work as a phonics instructor to children and adults. Language and literacy are my world.
