Award-Winning AP French Tutors
serving Greensboro, NC

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 earning dual Bachelors of Science from Duke University and Duke Kunshan University (located in Kunshan, Jiangsu, China) in Behavioral Science-- intended to graduate in 2023. As a former Varsity Tutors student myself, I can confidently say that our services not only allow students to be proud of what they can achieve (for myself it was an SAT score and college admissions essays) but also who they are. Tutoring had a huge impact on my confidence in the classroom and other academic settings (i.e. testing, presentations, etc.) My greatest wish is to pay it forward.

I am so excited to help you work through your learning journey! I promise you're smarter than you think. Let's figure this out together!

I'm a current junior at the College of William and Mary majoring in French and Francophone Studies and Linguistics. I have a history of high achievement and lots of on-the-job experience tutoring and teaching young people. My areas of expertise are French, Latin, linguistics, and English/language arts. I'm very excited and privileged to help unlock students' potentials to achieve!

I'm a current student at the University of Virginia, working and studying in Charlottesville during the school year and Charlotte during summer! I'm looking forward to tutoring you or your children! I'm a persistent, dedicated student who has experience working with those younger than me and I hope to share my academic knowledge and experiences. High school AP classes are my favorite subjects to tutor. In my free time, I enjoy sailing, hiking, practicing yoga, and spending time with my miniature dachshund.

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.

Michael's Spanish degree and Teach For America training give him a language-teaching framework that translates directly to AP French — particularly the interpersonal communication tasks where students must think on their feet and respond spontaneously. He also tutors CLEP French, so he's familiar with the grammar structures and reading comprehension skills that overlap between the two exams.

I'm very happy helping others in their studies. Both my language level and my teaching skills will guarantee the quality and efficiency of the tutoring.

I am originally from the suburbs of St. Louis, MO, and I attended Rockhurst University for my undergraduate degree. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in French & Education with a minor in English Literature. I am also currently working towards a Master of Arts in French at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. I am certified to teach French K-12 in the state of Missouri (and have the qualifications for Kansas). I enjoyed teaching at both the middle school and the high school level as part of my training. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored both writing and French. I am now substitute teaching at a French immersion school in the area, and I had fun teaching grades 2nd and 5th there over the summer. I am available to tutor English grammar, literature, writing, math up to Algebra 1, all levels of French, and test prep (including ACT). As someone with an appreciation for languages, I especially like tutoring English and French. Since I am a certified teacher, I am prepared to present information in a variety of ways to help my students with understanding. Additionally, I like to help my students take responsibility for their own learning during our sessions. Aside from teaching, I enjoy spending time with my roommates and our animals, watching shows and movies, going to sporting events, and taking advantage of the nice weather outdoors.

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.

Earning both a BA in French and an MA in Bilingual Education means Katie doesn't just speak French fluently — she understands how language acquisition actually works. For AP French, she zeroes in on the presentational writing and interpersonal speaking tasks that tend to separate 4s from 5s. Students build the kind of idiomatic fluency that sounds natural to graders, not like translated English.

Dartmouth's rigorous liberal arts curriculum gave Arianna deep exposure to French language and culture, and she brings that academic foundation to AP exam preparation. She walks students through the interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational communication modes the exam tests, with particular attention to the cultural comparison essay and audio-source synthesis that trip up most test-takers.

I'm not around.

Conducting PhD research on West African music at Harvard, Sarah uses French as a working language for fieldwork, academic reading, and professional communication. She brings that real-world fluency to AP French prep, drilling students on the interpretive listening passages and persuasive essay prompts that carry the most weight on exam day.

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

I'm eager to help you in whatever way I can! I'm a graduate of Harvard (BA, Social Anthropology) and Columbia (MA, Human Rights) and have spent years tutoring students in a variety of subjects. I'm a firm believer that effective tutoring stems from developing a program that is tailored and highly customized to individual students. I look forward to working with you!

Emily grew up speaking French at home with her family, attended the Ecole Franco-Americaine de Chicago from kindergarten through 12th grade, and passed the French BAC in 11th grade. That native-level fluency means she can break down the AP exam's trickiest components — persuasive essay prompts, audio source synthesis, and formal presentational speaking — from the inside out. She spends several months in France each year, so her language stays current and idiomatic.
