French with Christina T.

Bonjour! My name is Christina and I am thrilled to share my passion of French language and culture with you! I am an American living in France working at a university in Lyon. I am a licensed French teacher in Virginia with several years of experience teaching foreign languages in the US and abroad! I graduated from Colgate University in 2015 with a BA in French Langauge and Literature/ Educational Studies, and am finishing my MA in French Linguistics and Pedagogy at Middlebury Language Schools so that I can offer the most informed lessons possible to my students. I firmly believe in inclusive education and strive to individually tailor each lesson to the level, interests, goals and needs of each student. To make lessons interesting for both you and for me, I plan interactive, relevant and fun exercises that naturally facilite using the target language so that you progress at a pace that is natural to you. This is a team effort and we will work together to find the most effective way for YOU to learn French and achieve your goals. •Beginner? Can’t wait to show you EVERYTHING •Intermediate? Let’s fine tune what you know and give you the extra experience you need to advance •Advanced? Let’s connect you to people/jobs, write that resume or prepare for Dalf/AP exams My availabilty reflects the time difference between the USA and France, so if it seems limited and unmanageable, don't panic! Feel free to reach out so we can find a time that is convenient for both of us. Lastly, don't hesitate to reach out with questions! I am here to help you decide if my teaching style is a good fit for your learning needs and want you to feel comfortable with your decision! À bientôt! (See you soon!)
