    About James B.

    5.0
    (1)
    Hi! I am an experienced language teacher who has taught both in the United States and France. My time is spent dedicated to my two passions: language education and human rights! I spend a lot of time travelling and doing outdoor sports such as rock climbing and biking! I currently live in Paris, France where I teach French and English to university students, adolescents, adults and children. I have several years of experience in curriculum development thanks to my time directing my own language school in Paris! Every one of my student receives a tailor-made educational experience. I firmly believe that each individual has specific needs and that education must adapt to those needs. I look forward to meeting you!
