Class Experience

In this class, we will explore Colas Gutman's book, "Chien Pourri à l'École" through a mix of learning and fun. Students will be able to lead the discussion based on their observations and what they enjoyed, but I will also have some open-ended guidance questions in case we need extra discussion material. We will also practice comprehension and vocabulary words by playing Kahoot. Between classes, students will have homework to continue their study of the book. At the end of the class, students will also have a short project to complete and share at our last class!

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been learning French for 9 years now, from French 1 - French 5 as well as 4 years of immersion French classes. I am conversationally fluent and at a B2 level. I have tutored French immersion from May 2020 through August 2020 when the French immersion school near us closed for quarantine, and I've been teaching French through Outschool for 2 years. 

I took the French CLEP test a few years ago and got maybe 5 points away from a perfect score while testing out of and getting credit for all the French classes at my local community college.

I also continue to take French lessons with native speakers, and I am working towards my Bachelors in French, which includes classes in advanced French immersion, French literature, and French education.

I also have my certification in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), the principles from which I apply to my French classes.
