"Hello! Bonjour!

My name is Erica and I'm here to help you learn French and English! Read on to find out more about me...

I have a Masters in French from San Francisco State University, and a Bachelors degree in French and Global Studies from Sonoma State University. I tutor French and English as a Second Language, both of which I love!

For students interested in French tutoring:

I am extremely passionate about French! So much so, that I actually lived in Paris, France for a total of more than four years. While there, I was first a student and then worked in the tourism industry for multiple years. I recently moved back to California (winter 2020), so I have current and relevant knowledge about life in France, French work culture and overall general culture. I have been studying the language seriously since I started high school way back in 2005 and consider myself a true Francophile.

I have been giving private French lessons for about ten years, and also have experience teaching French at the university level. I taught a French 201 (Intermediate French) class at Sonoma State University as a lecturer. Previously, as a Masters student at San Francisco State University, I was a Graduate Teaching Assistant who taught French 101 (beginning French) classes over the course of three semesters. When I attended Sonoma State University, I taught groups of undergraduate students who were in lower division French classes, leading them in conversation classes I designed myself. I have taught French to elementary school, high school, and college aged students and also to adults who are just wishing to learn the language for fun or to achieve personal goals.

For Students Interested in ESL Tutoring:

While I was living in Paris, France, I taught English to classes of both middle schoolers and high schoolers. I created all of my own lesson plans and led the classes by myself. I have worked with large groups of English language learners and also one on one with individuals. I have also taken classes specifically to learn" less...
