Levels taught:
Beginner, Intermediate, AdvancedHaving learnt as multiple second languages, such as English, Italian, Spanish and German, I’m very aware of the process of learning a new language.
I can provide vocabulary, grammar, verbs, conversation as well as cultural aspects from different French speaking countries, as I was working with people from France and I spent 3 years in Montreal, Quebec.
I moved to Richmond two years ago, bringing many French books for all ages, that could be used during lessons.
About Evelyne K.
I’m a french native speaker from Switzerland. I moved from Geneva, two years ago for my husband’s work. He’s a pediatric clinical and research physician at VCU (MCV). I’m the mother of two teenagers at the Steward's School. We are a native French speaking family.
I have worked since 1999 as a pediatric nurse and a nursing instructor for critical care children and neonates.
I have Swiss degrees in nursing, pediatric, critical care, lactation consultant and pedagogy/teaching, as well as an up to date RN licence in Virginia.
I love to tutor/teach to share my knowledge of French language and culture, using my pedagogical background and a good sense of humour. I enjoy very much getting to know my students to make sure they get the best learning experience.

Evelyne is a wonderful teacher. After two lessons I am already starting to feel confident in putting sentences together. She has extensive experience in teaching and I’m just grateful I found her here. Don’t hesitate to book with her. I’m certain she is the best choice to learn French. You won’t be disappointed.

Today was my first lesson. Evelyne is very relaxed and immediately helped me to feel relaxed. She quickly chose a starting point that met my skill level.
I am already looking forward to my second lesson.

Chère Evelyne, Je te remercie chaleureusement pour les cours de français que tu m’as donné pendant cette année! C’est vraiment un grand plaisir d’étudier avec toi, car tu es toujours à l’écoute et tu donnes des bons conseils pour améliorer mon niveau de français. Merci encore et j’espère sincèrement répondre les cours avec toi prochainement. Je t’embrasse, Alona

Evelyne volunteered at my daughter’s school while in Canada. She liked to be involved and useful in different school activities involving children of various age groups. She is very reliable and was always patient with the kids. Her love of children was clearly visible at all times. Perhaps more importantly, the children adored her too. Her intelligence, caring nature, sense of humour and her ability to adapt very quickly to the children’s needs makes it easy to highly recommend her for tutoring.

Evelyne is such a reliable and trustworthy teacher and person as well. She can adapt super quickly and easily to the people she is teaching and is always super patient. She’s an enthusiastic and outgoing person with lots of abilities and knows what she’s doing. Definitely recommend.

Evelyne is such a wondeful teacher -- patient, empathetic and encouraging. We feel quite lucky to have found her. Learning and truly comprehending a new language is challenging and frustrating at times and she's really made a tremendous difference in a short time.
