Class Experience

Bonjour! My name is Laura. I am a native French speaker and I teach the class in French. I do translate as needed to help the learners to understand and memorize what they are learning.  The class is for learners from 13 to 18 years old. All are welcome. No prior knowledge is needed. We will read, and work on comprehension, oral expression, and writing. The class is structured and part of a yearlong curriculum with new French things to learn all year long. I am a fun teacher, I have a lot of patience, and I like to encourage the students to speak. À bientôt!
