Summary

Motivated and energetic, I bring 30 years of experience in education as a second language teacher. I possess an upbeat personality and an advanced understanding of the French language. I have experience in preparing lessons, managing classroom instruction, and ensuring student focus and engagement. I demonstrate good communication, organizational, and time management abilities. I’m eager to assist students in understanding the culture and conversational style for better integration and navigating daily life. I am attentive, encouraging, and devoted to fostering a warm, welcoming environment. As a patient and dedicated teacher, I am skilled at developing and promoting interactive learning within a group environment. As a positive educator, I am patient with students, consistently dedicating extra time for one-on-one instruction to teach difficult lessons or concepts.

It is my opinion, most of the skills I have used in the classroom are transferable and can be used with online teaching.
