I believe that, as iron sharpens iron, man sharpens man. In that spirit, I am not afraid to work one-on-one with student to approach their problems from different perspectives to help them to become sharper in their understanding and use of the French language. My work experience includes a student teaching position at UA, French substitute-teacher in most Tuscaloosa County High-Schools, Undergraduate teacher position in Georgia Gwinnet College, and Independent contractor (French Teacher) online. I also work as a Private Tutor & Private Teacher in French most of the time.

When I was in high school, one of my teachers said, “Teachers never stop learning how to teach, every years is an opportunity learn from your student and to become better at teaching them.” I believe it summarize well my philosophy: a never ended journey to help students expend their horizon and critical thinking thru both similarities and differences between our languages and cultures.
