Dedicated and Passionate Alliance Française Teacher with 5 Years of Teaching Experience and Travel Bonjour! My name is Kathryn and I graduated from the University of Virginia with a major in French. At UVA I applied and was accepted to live in the French House alongside my French-speaking peers and had the opportunity to attend many French cultural events hosted there. During the summer of 2018 I worked as an au pair for a French family. I spoke only French for these three months and learned what daily life in France feels like. After falling in love with the country and its culture, I returned to Lyon, France for a semester through my university's study abroad program and studied at Sciences Po and Lyon Lumière 2. I enjoy cooking, running, and spending my summers in France. I enjoy and have experience teaching French to all ages. I have taught private and group lessons to both children and adults through the Alliance Française in my town, helped lead children's French immersion camps, and have worked most recently as a high school French teacher where I ran the French department and built its curriculum. I have really appreciated working with a variety of age groups and enjoy creating engaging lesson plans that correspond to my students' goals and current level of French. I am a patient, creative, and enthusiastic teacher. I am very passionate about the French language and am excited to help guide you on your journey to fluency! Since immersion is so important when learning a language, I incorporate speaking, writing, listening, and reading activities into my lessons. Th...

After learning French from Kathryn during the last few months of last year, I’m ecstatic to continue in her class for 2024! She is truly the best French teacher. Her extensive knowledge and fluency of the French language inspire me. Also, Kathryn continues to be very kind and supportive throughout my studies. She is consistently prompt, well prepared and organized, which I appreciate. Furthermore, if you’re like me and want homework assignments, she is diligent in assigning homework in between classes as well. I love class with Kathryn. If you’re looking for a French teacher for 2024, try Kathryn’s class—you won’t regret it!

We have had many great teachers from italki whom we have loved. But nobody has done as well as Kathryn for our 9 year old. When he finishes, he literally comes to us and says; “book more lessons, I need more lessons with her! French is life!” Kathryn challenges him, makes it so enjoyable and honestly worth her weight in gold!

Kathryn was lovely and I hope to study with her some more. I'm a bit worried about cost so I will see.

Kathryn has such an effortless joy that makes tutoring session with her an absolute pleasure. Every lesson is tailored to help me succeed and are fun. You can tell she enjoys helping others. She has a way of correcting you without making you feel discouraged. Honestly, you couldn’t choose a better person to tutor with. She’s amazing.

What a great first lesson with Kathryn! She made me feel very comfortable and helped explain and give examples of what I was learning. Very excited to keep the lessons going!

Kathryn is a delightful teacher. She has helped our 11-year-old granddaughter prepare for a special trip to France this summer. The lessons are fun and educational. Our granddaughter looks forward to the lessons and wants to continue next fall.
