I was born and raised in the United States in a family of French origin, with French and English present from the beginning. Growing up bilingual sparked a lasting interest in languages, culture, and the ways people connect.

That interest grew to include Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. Today, I offer personalized language instruction and academic tutoring, working directly with each learner to build understanding and confidence.

My teaching experience spans after-school enrichment programs, school and college coursework, and private lessons for adults and professionals. I have helped learners strengthen classroom skills, prepare for international work and travel, and pursue a personal interest in languages.

Lessons combine clear explanations, practical conversation, and focused practice. I adapt the pace and materials to your level and goals, whether we are working through your course curriculum or building an independent learning plan.

I have spent significant time living and traveling throughout Europe, particularly in France and Spain. Using languages in everyday life has shaped how I teach and deepened my appreciation for the cultures behind them.

I bring that experience into lessons through everyday expressions, cultural context, and real-world situations. The aim is to help you use what you learn naturally, from following a conversation to feeling more at ease abroad.
