I am a French-American student who has lived in NY for most of his life. I perfectly understand our schools high expectations for standardized testing can be challenging, but this is nothing we cannot overcome with good preparation. I myself had to adapt to the American system when I had been going to a French high school for all of my teenage years. I will teach you grammar, conjugation, correct spelling, and how to read, write, and speak the language with a French accent. Hopefully you will have fun learning the language. Often a child, or even an adult, may get bored with the mechanics of linguistics. I truly believe we learn better when we have a certain amount of fun, which is why I always try to make my lesson plan as entertaining as possible. Rest assured you will not only do very well on your test but you will also learn to speak French with confidence! I am free to come visit to see if I match your expectations. And I thank you for your consideration.
