I have studied French for the past seven years since I was a freshman in high school. I'm going into my senior year at the University of Texas at Austin and declared my minor in French studies. While ... in high school, I earned all A's in my French classes and I took and passed the French AP exam. I plan to use the language in my professional life. I enjoy leading and mentoring; I work as a summer camp counselor in Austin, Texas during summers in both day-camp and sleepaway camp settings. I think that helping others grow and learn is very rewarding. My first summer I was named Counselor of the Year. read more

Hi! My name is Benjamin and I'm a rising senior at the University of Texas at Austin. I was born in Chicago and raised in Austin.

I have been involved with the French language for seven and have always shown a level of proficiency that's above my peers. I very much enjoy reading, writing, and speaking the language because it's a fun challenge for me. I also think learning another language is a great skill whether you want to travel or for business. While I've never tutored before, I have experience working, mentoring, and leading, especially with younger kids as a camp counselor. I enjoy the challenges and think it's important to be leading a good example for them. My goals in tutoring would be creating an environment that would help the student have more confidence and self-esteem in their French skills and with themselves. I believe in accountability and positive reinforcement- whether they want to learn for fun or a personal goal. The French are interesting!read more
