About Sarah

French is not my native language, which I believe is actually my strength as a tutor. Unlike a native speaker, having studied and spoken French for over a decade, I have first-hand experience learning all the tenses, conjugations, rules and exceptions. Because of this, I understand the challenges one faces as an English-speaker trying to get a handle on French because I likely had the same challenges.

I have a degree in French comparative literature from the University of Puget Sound and have spent a combined total of two years living in France and I speak at a C2 level (based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). Thus, I'm knowledgeable not only about French language, but also French culture.
Along with this, I have a total of three years teaching experience, with the bulk of my activity being teaching English to French students, either as a language assistant in French schools or as a private tutor.

I take my role as an educator very seriously, and work hard to have my students meet their goals, but I am, above all, approachable. Language-learning can be frightening because of our fear of making mistakes and embarrassing ourselves. I embrace errors in my lessons, as they are valuable teaching moments and mean that my student is putting themselves out there and taking risks; which can only lead to growth and improvement.

Salut!

If you are a parent of a middle school or high school student looking to help your child improve their level of French or an adult learner looking for some extra practice, I hope to be able to help!

As a language-learner myself, with over three years of teaching experience at the middle school and high school level, I aim to make my lessons engaging, adaptable and personalized. Learning a foreign language can feel daunting, especially in a classroom setting. I hope to meet each student's individual goals while making learning feel accessible and, most importantly, enjoyable.

I offer my first session free and take this time to get to know the student and their goals. After this, I work with the student and their parents to tailor lessons to meet these goals. Mine is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

A typical lesson will start with a quick 5 to 10 minute "Warm Up" exercise and a check-in with the student where I explain what we will work on that session. We will then move on to the prepared lesson. This lesson may consist of reviewing and continuing a grammar lesson from a previous session, conversation practice based around a specific topic, video, or article, a grammar lesson and exercises to be continued in the following lesson, or a speaking activity that targets specific skills such as debates, descriptions, using idioms, etc... all corresponding to the goals of the student.

Lessons are conducted in a mix of French and English (English spoken as needed), with the aim being to speak French as much as possible.

I meet my students where they are at, at any level of French and any level of confidence.
