About

I have a very good accent in French. By the way, my accent is from Le Midi, or Southern France. It is not Parisian. Rather, it reflects the lilting phraseology of the troubadours and their songs from centuries back. Helping folks improve their speech, in any language.

Chris promised she would tailor the lessons to my needs -- and she has lived up to the promise completely. I am an adult student, self-studying, trying to revive my high school French. Every once and a while I come across a problem I have trouble with -- pronunciation, a grammatical construction, or other problems -- and I want help dealing with it. First of all, Chris listens to me explain the problem -- really listens -- then addresses the problem directly, plainly, and completely. She goes over examples with me, staying with the issue until we are satisfied that I really understand it. I imagine that other students might have different needs -- starting to learn French from scratch, or learning how to deal with certain sorts of conversations, or whatever. I am sure she would understand exactly what each student needs and tailor the lesson accordingly. Let me add that Chris is friendly and intelligent.

A bad teacher = a need for a great tutor. Chris tutors my son in Spanish 3/4. He has been working with her for the past 5 months one time per week and it has made a difference. Chris is a good communicator and turns up on time. She listens to what needs my son may have week to week, and helps him work through it. She will also lay out a plan to advance his skills so he can get a jump start on the next material.

Chris is very knowledgeable in teaching French. She is patient, accommodating, well organized and goes at a pace that is comfortable with the student. She comes down to the level of the student and steadily brings it up. We were pleasantly surprised with the progress our child has made. A 5 of 5 star recommendation.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is $25 / 30 minutes through video conferencing at https://helpouts.google.com/111648742799419266896/ls/abbfb947afffcb9a Longer sessions are available, priced by the minute. If I travel to you, I charge the IRS rate factor for mileage (56.5 cents per mile).
What types of customers have you worked with?
I help them improve their speech by reducing the "noise" (mispronunciation, incorrect linking, confusing intonation, rate of speaking that is difficult to listen to, etc.) from the pure sound that is most easily understood.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I have a client who is US-born, but prefers to discuss French pronunciation in Spanish, as these two languages are far more similar than are English and French. Since she and I both speak fairly fluently, many concepts are easily shared and quickly absorbed, without having to be expressed in a detour through English first.
