About

I'm a skilled and enthusiastic french teacher with 7 years' experience teaching. I have students of all levels and all ages (children and adults) and love teaching both and watching them get stronger as French speakers. I received my bachelor's degree in French from Columbia University and my master's in French theatre studies from the Sorbonne.

I enjoy watching students figure out what they love best about a subject!

I have a BA from Columbia University in French and a master's degree from the Sorbonne-Nouvelle in French theatre studies.
