I am a native French speaker. I was born and raised right outside of Paris. I have always loved learning about different languages and cultures. This is why I decided to learn English and move to the United-States to go to college where I learned to teach my native language to people who, just like me, want to learn a new language.
Me as a Teacher
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Science of Education with a focus on French. During my years in college, I had many opportunities to teach in classrooms. I like teaching groups of students because it allows for different types of interactions. But I also gave one-on-one lessons which are more specific and tailored to the students' needs.
My lessons & teaching style
I like teaching with real world material. Depending on my students, I can use news articles, books, videos, and music. I also like to give them the opportunity to practice their knowledge with conversations or short discussions, since the final goal of learning a language is communication. But I am a flexible teacher. I can adapt to my students' needs and preferences. Therefore, I can also give direct lessons on specific language features and help the students test their knowledge with exercises and quizzes.

Cécilia was very encouraging and engaging, even when I did not feel confident with practicing. Looking forward to doing more classes with her!
