"Bonjour! I'm Richard and I love French! I believe that learning French helps develop creative thinking and problem-solving skills. More importantly, learning a foreign language, such as French, expands worldviews while teaching and encouraging respect of other cultures. Having the opportunity to work with students invigorates me and reminds me why I teach and believe so strongly in the importance of foreign languages. Learning a foreign language expands worldviews while encouraging respect of other cultures and indisputably improving employment opportunities.

A little bit about me:

- Grew up in Paris, France and went to a French school where all classes were in French

- French Literature Major at Emory University

- Former DELF Corrector and Examiner

- 20 years of experience teaching French

- Former AP French Instructor

- Former World Languages Department Chair and French Instructor for the Georgia Governor's Honors Program

- Just Moved Back to Paris in time for the 2024 Olympics!!!

I cannot wait to work with you as you begin or continue your journey to learn the beautiful French language!" less...
