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.

About the lesson

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.

Professeur de grande qualité !
Je suis depuis 8 mois des cours d’anglais avec Sarah, plusieurs fois par mois. Je suis en mesure d’affirmer que Sarah coche toutes les cases d’une excellente prof d’anglais : disponible, sympathique, américaine et disposant d’une riche culture des Etats-Unis et de la France. Elle a, de plus, un très bon niveau en français, ce qui facilite les traductions et lève les incompréhensions.

Mobilisant supports vidéo et exercices écrits, Sarah propose de réels cours d’anglais, et non des discutions rémunérées comme beaucoup de profs.. Ils vous permettront de progresser dans les domaines visés : compréhension orale & écrite, et/ou expression orale & écrite.

Je recommande vivement !

Sarah est une excellente enseignante! Elle a accompagné ma fille de 14 ans pendant toute l’année grâce à des cours dynamiques et variés en anglais, en distanciel. Ma fille était toujours enthousiaste à l’idée de la retrouver en visio. Elle a pu améliorer ses capacités dans toutes les compétences langagières. Sarah l’a ouverte à la culture, à la littérature, à la civilisation grâce à des échanges très constructifs. Je recommande vivement Sarah! C’est une super prof!!!!
