Award-Winning AP French Tutors
serving Palm Bay, FL

I am proud to say that the eleven-year-old Vietnamese girl and boy that I tutored for 5 years are both attending Medical school. In addition, I am proud to say that I speak, write and read in French, English, Spanish, Haitian Creole and Italian proficiently. Whenever I tell people that I speak French, they often assume that it is not my mother tongue language because I have no accent in English. I am always proud to say that I did not know how to speak English until I was 16 years of age. Learning a language is like cracking a secret code. Once you decode it, the treasure is yours.

I am a highly dedicated, creative, and passionate educator with a Master of Arts in Teaching Foreign Languages with a Major in French from the Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education & Counseling, and a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Lewis & Clark College, with whom I had a full tuition undergraduate scholarship. I have over 15 years of experience in education, including over 10 years of experience teaching French. I earned my 5-year FL Professional Certificate for World Language - French, Grades K-12, the highest teaching certificate the state of FL has to offer.

I'm a educator and visual artist with many years of experience teaching and tutoring high school and college students. I have a BA in Political Science from New College of Florida and a MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While I'm a photographer by trade, I also have a passion for and expertise in Math and the Natural Sciences -- as well as French and Spanish, having studied and worked in both Paris and Central America. While I'm proficient now, I struggled with both languages early on, and understand the challenges of both starting a new language and in moving from a conversational to a more proficient level. I'm also available for ACT and SAT test prep -- and work especially well with students who are visual learners (though I have a wide range of materials and resources for all styles of learning!).

I am committed to serving others and guaranteeing the success of my students. My passion is helping those in need and alleviating struggle, especially with academics! I especially love working with the French language.

I am an avid cook, and I love spending time outdoors.

I am passionate about business, economics, and management and have nearly ten years of experience. I believe that when one teaches, two learn-the student and the teacher.

French is the subject Riley lights up about — she studied it alongside English Writing at Saint Mary's College, received formal pedagogical training in the college's tutoring program, and then completed a Master's at Notre Dame. For AP French, she leans into the conversational and writing-intensive tasks, coaching students to stop mentally drafting in English and start producing natural French prose with the register and idiomatic precision graders reward. Rated 5.0 by students.

Working as a producer and writer for Afropop Worldwide means Jesse engages with francophone African culture daily — interviewing artists, researching musical traditions from Senegal to the Congo, and navigating French as a living professional language rather than a classroom exercise. That real-world immersion with the francophone world, combined with a French major from Wesleyan, gives him a natural feel for the cultural comparison and interpretive listening tasks where students need to go beyond textbook knowledge and engage with authentic francophone sources.

Erintrude earned her bachelor's degree in French from Kenyon College, giving her the deep literary and linguistic grounding that AP French demands — from analyzing texts by Francophone authors to constructing persuasive essays entirely in French. She knows how to break down the presentational and interpersonal communication tasks that drive AP scoring, and her translation studies background sharpens students' ability to think in French rather than mentally converting from English.

I am excited to be home and help fellow straphangers on their educational paths! My largest wealth of tutoring experience is in foreign languages--particularly French--but I also feel very comfortable editing essays of any kind and working through standardized test concepts. My availability is extremely flexible, and anywhere in New York City works for me. I look forward to working with you.

Having earned her MA in French from Middlebury and studied at the Sorbonne, Margaret knows exactly what AP French graders look for in the persuasive essay and the cultural comparison. She drills the presentational and interpersonal communication tasks with an emphasis on register, idiomatic accuracy, and building arguments that go beyond surface-level observations.

I am a graduate of the Ohio State University, where I completed a BA summa cum laude in linguistics and Romance studies with specializations in French, Spanish, and Italian. I then completed a JD at Cornell University, where I used my language skills to focus on international and comparative law, as well as developing particular skills in criminal law and general trial advocacy. In addition, I spent a year in France at the Universit Paris 1 Panthon-Sorbonne, where I obtained an LLM (master of laws) in French, European, and international law. Outside of academia, I have worked as a document translator and an in-court interpreter in both French and Spanish and have worked directly with French- and Spanish-speaking clients in legal and financial settings. As an undergraduate student, I was French-language liaison to the Modern Languages and Cultures Undergraduate Council, in which position I oversaw tutoring sessions, organized conversation and culture hours, and represented the interests of Francophone students and French learners at Council meetings. In addition, I co-directed an outreach program to local elementary schools, teaching both French and Spanish to children in grades K-4. On the legal side, I have worked in immigration, contract, family, and criminal law, and have been a teaching assistant for legal courses and served as a graduate-student mentor for pre-law students.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania where I majored in International Studies and Business. I have a strong background in math, critical reading, writing, and french. I have spent several years living abroad and am a native French speaker.

Computer engineering majors don't usually double-major in French — but Sasha did, which means her fluency was built through rigorous academic study alongside native-level coursework rather than casual exposure. She tackles the AP French exam's cultural comparison and persuasive essay tasks with the same structured precision she applies to engineering problems, breaking down how to deploy subjunctive constructions and formal register under timed conditions.

Scoring well on AP French means doing more than conjugating verbs — it requires interpreting authentic texts, constructing persuasive arguments in writing, and speaking with cultural nuance. Evan earned his bachelor's in French Literature, so he brings native-level reading fluency and a deep understanding of Francophone culture to every element of the exam, from the interpersonal writing task to the cultural comparison presentation.

I am a third-year undergraduate student at Carnegie Mellon University studying Voice and Opera Performance with minors in Music Education and French and Francophone Studies. My ultimate goal is to become a teacher because I love working with students to help them achieve mastery of their subject(s)!

Ben tutored beginning French classes in Dartmouth's French department and then spent a full year living in France, which means his AP French instruction is grounded in how the language actually sounds and functions — not just textbook conjugation tables. He zeroes in on the presentational writing and interpersonal speaking tasks that carry the most weight on exam day.

The AP French exam punishes students who can summarize but can't argue — the persuasive essay and cultural comparison require precise command of subjunctive mood, transitional phrasing, and thematic analysis. Ariel teaches students to build those skills together so that grammar serves communication rather than existing as a separate exercise.
