Before I graduate, I started to teach violin and Mandarin in Takelessons, as you can see in my reviews, I have a very high rating since I started, every student like to play violin with me because I always can see their smile in the lesson.

About Frankline
I've been teaching since undergrad, working with students ages 6-18. Through this experience 30% of my students were ESL and as a result created curriculum based on that information. I hold very high expectations for my students and they are always able to meet them! I've spent 8 years studying Spanish and have traveled to 3 Spanish speaking countries. I love the language and the experiences it has offered me - I want to be able to share that with others. Lastly, I am currently a middle school History teacher. About 73% of my students are ESL and have individual needs, as a result my curriculum must always have ESL accommodations.
