Hello, bonjour, hola! I'm Natalie and I've been tutoring for ten years and formally teaching for six years. I've loved helping students meet their goals in French and English and I look forward to helping you. 

I hold a B.A. in French and Chinese and an M.A. in French Linguistics, both from University of Florida. Currently, I am a PhD candidate in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching. As such, I am truly centered on helping you achieve your language goals, whether that means traveling abroad, passing a language test, or communicating in your work or school environment. My flexibility and enthusiasm coupled with individualized lesson plans will help increase your confidence in communicating in other language(s).

I'm dedicated to help you becoming bilingual or proficient for travel needs in another language. Bilingualism not only makes you smarter, as you have to learn to switch in between languages and inhibit one while using the other, it also makes you less likely to get Alzheimer's or dementia (New York Times, 2012). So what are you waiting for? Let's get you on your language learning journey today! Bon voyage! Buen viaje!

My most popular available services on Take Lessons include (but are not limited to): 

**French** 
Private lessons for adults (French for travel, French for business, French grammar and vocabulary, and/or French for fluency); Tutoring for high school and college students; 

**English Accent Reduction**
Lessons for adults with a focus on pronunciation of sounds in English, intonation, stress, and common English reductions. Achieve your goals by practicing English in business and/or academic contexts (interviewing for a job, making small talk, giving presentations at work, etc). You'll learn common idioms as well. After 10-15 classes, all of my Accent Reduction students see a strong improvement in their accent and feel confident in their English interactions (even on the phone!).

Starting with the basics will ensure you’re building your French skills on a solid foundation. This online French class will cover the alphabet and numbers. You’ll also discuss correct pronunciation and accents so you can speak like a native!

Let’s start with the basics. This online French class will look at the fundamental elements of French such as the alphabet, numbers, and correct pronunciation. You’ll also learn how to form the different French accents with the help of an expert instructor in this interactive classroom.

As a PhD student in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching and current University of Arizona instructor, I bring my expertise to the field to make learning hands on and interactive for all ages, both in person and online.

Natalie Amgott is my French instructor. I took the  French 102 class at Pima Community College (PCC) during the 2020 Spring Semester and she was the instructor for that class and I liked her teaching very much. Now, since PCC is not offering the next French class (French 201) this semester, I asked Natalie if she could teach me privately online.  I'm extremely happy with the work we are doing. She is a very knowledgeable and professional instructor who communicates very effectively. I feel that I am learning at an accelerated speed. Her attentiveness and patience is greatly appreciated.  I'm very satisfied with her work and I definitely recommend Natalie as an instructor.

Very well prepared  and flexible with content.

Instructor is wonderful all the time. but we keep having problems and losing much time with connections.  Can you assist with this?  Thank you.

I am looking forward to our next lesson Natalie!!! Thank you so much for today!!!

Excellent teacher. Natalie customizes lectures based on student need and which helped me a lot.

Natalie is truly a gifted teacher. My son (13) was struggling in French, and is now among the top in his class. Natalie always has a lesson planned and her materials are great resources for my son to review. Having this one-on-one lesson has made a tremendous difference for my son, and he has gained so much confidence in his French studies. Natalie also lets me know how the lesson went. I'm very grateful we found Natalie!

Very good instructor; tackles the hard stuff.

Natalie is really a good teacher; patient but challenging.  Fills the lesson to the last minute with information.

After not having class for 2 weeks due to holiday and other events, it was easy to catch up . Natalie is a patient instructor.

Natalie is one of takelessons' best teachers. She is very resourceful and dedicated. Besides her remarkable knowledge, she has excellent people skills to guide you through your learning process. Totally recommend her as your instructor!

Natalie really packs the lesson with lots of practice options.
