Experience
I have experience tutoring French language from beginning to advanced levels. I have studied the language for over 11 years and have spent many months living in France with French families and summers working in Paris in addition to having lived in Paris for 14 months (Sept 2011-Nov 2012). At the high school level I scored a 4 on the French Literature Advanced Placement exam and a 5 on the French Language exam (on a scale of 1-5). I scored a 720 on my SAT II - French Language examination. (ACT 29 Composite) I tutored a sophomore (French Level 2 student) through a one-on-one summer school program with Mary Lee Bunch and Associates based out of Brentwood, TN. She had failed all four quarters of the previous year with a final average of a 60 for her spring semester. Upon completion of our work over the summer, she scored an 82 on her final exam. I continued my studies at the university level at New York University as well as in Paris. I completed a 6-week course at La Sorbonne - the oldest university in Paris - where I received high marks at the advanced level. I have degrees in French (B.A.) and Theater Direction and Design (B.F.A.) In French I took advanced level language, literature, philosophy, and translation courses. Post graduation, I continue my French work with several part-time students as well as spending time abroad whenever possible. For these reasons, I feel I am a strong candidate for a tutoring position in French studies. I am very passionate about the language, the culture and learning. I am very organized, responsible and punctual about deadlines and schedules. I really enjoy working with students and helping them learn this language. It's definitely challenging language to learn, but with the right encouragement and structure it's more than possible and fun!
