Jessie G.

Private tutor in Shoreline, WA

Education

I graduated with my Bachelors degree in May 2015 with a double major in French and Anthropology. As a senior i received the COFLT Award (The Confederation in Oregon for Language Teaching) by the French department. I worked as a language ambassador, a language tutor, and wrote articles to promote values of global citizenship. I also worked as an assistant for the French department, where I helped with grading, and a general assistant to all the French Professors. I am very fluent in speaking and oral communication, and feel comfortable living in French speaking countries and having in depth conversations. Other education: I'm currently working on my masters in French online with Horizons University. EF Language School in Paris 2011 Feb / March 2011 High School Diploma, Class of 2010, Kingston High School North Kitsap Options Program 1998 - 2007

Experience

I became fluent in French after spending over a year in Francophone countries. In 2011 I spent three and a half months in France, where I went to a language school in Paris and then did a language immersion program in Avignon. I live in Dakar, Senegal most of the year now, where I am an international manager and musician for a music group / socio-cultural association called BIG & Sous l'Arbre Acoustik (Under the Acoustic Tree) to create cultural workshop programs for international students. We also worked with humanitarian organizations to bring music to vulnerable populations, and do concerts of awareness about things like activity that threatens the environment. Our website is here: www.bigsouslarbreacoustik.com I have also taught swimming lessons in French, and taught English in a primary school in French. In addition to my time in France and Senegal, I've traveled extensively throughout Morocco, and nine other European countries. I maintain relationships and converse daily with people I have met abroad, which helps keep my French fresh. My partner also only speaks French, which forces me to use it every day. I am very flexible and can cater the lessons towards the student’s individual goals, needs, and learning styles. I love speaking and learning French, and I want to help people be motivated to keep learning French beyond school so they can use it in their every day lives, or abroad. I want tutoring sessions to be interesting and fun but also effective and worthwhile, so for some that might mean sitting down and learning a structured lesson for an hour, and for others that might be an activity like ​cooking​ a French meal together and just speaking in French the whole time. I think the most exciting thing about learning a language is being able to apply it in the real world, and create relationships with people from different cultures. Hopefully as your tutor I will be able to get you as passionate about French and French speaking cultures as I am! One of the ways I like to help students improve their French is just encouraging them to engage in French related activities regularly. I was very active in French club at my university, so I've got tons of fun ways to practice French at home! My rates are lower than many tutors on here, because I'm just getting started tutoring in this area and am looking to build a client base.
