"Bonjour !

My name is John (my students call me Monsieur) and I am a French teacher, multi-subject tutor, former chef, sound engineer, but a father first. My educational background is extensive: I have a BS in Recording Industry with minors in French, Electro-Acoustics, and Mathematics; a BA in French, an MA in French Language and Literature, and a MEd in Secondary Education. Professionally, I have been a teacher in both public and private educational environments and have worked with students from the ages of 8 to 65. Currently, I am a full-time French teacher at a high school in Arizona teaching advanced French classes including AP, AP/IB Capstone, Dual Enrollment 101-102 (beginning college French) and 201-202 (intermediate college French).

I have lived, worked, and traveled throughout France and have been to several other countries around the world. My experiences have shaped me extensively and my students like the way I can combine my experiences with teaching to make the material come to life--or provide a funny anecdote.

French is one of the most popular languages in the world. Whether you want to learn, improve, or simply practice your language skills, I will help you. My background has provided me with extensive knowledge of multiple subjects and I will also gladly help anyone who can benefit from my knowledge and experience." less...
