ABOUT ME: 

Bonjour! Xin chào mấy bạn!

Thanks for stopping by! I’m a native French and Vietnamese speaker, a culinary school graduate, and a worldschooling parent. My father is French from Bretagne, my mother is Vietnamese from Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), and while I was born in the U.S., Vietnamese was my first language. I spent nearly every summer in Paris or Saigon and even lived in Paris for a few years while attending school.

While language learning—especially beyond the beginner level—requires effort, it doesn’t have to be boring. I strive to make language and culture engaging for my students, instilling a love of learning along the way.

I hope you’ll join me on this language adventure!

À bientôt! Hẹn gặp lại!
Mme. M / Cô Jade

CLASS POLICIES

VIDEO:
- *** Video is required.*** This is important because I need to see how students formulate sounds with their mouths. Students will interact with me and their peers using the microphone and video camera on their device.  
- In order to ensure the safety of all students, please ensure that your learner is able to turn on their video so that I may verify their identity. 
- Excluding composition classes, I also ask that cameras stay on unless your student needs to step away. 

CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR:
- Please have your learner(s) familiarize themselves with the Outschool features such as mute and raising their hand. 
- Students are expected to be respectful to all during class whether verbally or in writing. 

SIBLINGS & PARENTS:
- Please enroll all siblings for their own spot in the class, as appropriate. Students may share a device but each student must be enrolled separately. 
- Per Outschool policy, parents and other siblings may NOT be on camera with the student.
