「「Quel temps fait-il?」フランスの四季を探訪！」

Hello! I'm Teacher Tori, and I'm so excited to welcome your young learner into my classroom! Having worked as a Children's Musical Theatre Camp Choreographer, an Assistant Teacher at a Daycare, and a Personal Student Acting Coach, I discovered how much I truly love working with children. It brightens my day to help young learners explore new topics and get excited about learning: plus, my background in Theatre means I come at teaching in a way that is vibrant, creative, and imaginative!

Here on Outschool, I'm offering classes in two subject areas: Acting and French. 

Having studied French extensively throughout both Middle and High-school, I earned a 5 (the highest possible score) on the AP French Exam my Senior year. Additionally, I was honored by the Honorary Consul of France, Pascal Soares, for my work as a French Student, in a ceremony hosted by Nazareth College. I'm currently pursuing a Minor in French at Hofstra University, after having tested out of French Level 3 (the highest level required of students in order to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree) my Freshman year of college. 

My goal is to introduce your young student to the French Language, through individually offered classes, so that they not only get a basic sense of vocabulary, spelling, and pronunciation, but also develop an early love for French. I hope that this love will encourage them to go beyond my classroom and dive deeper into the French language. 

As an actress and director both on the stage and screen, I've had the joy of learning from some incredible teachers myself, and I hope to carry forward the knowledge that has empowered me as a performer. I'm currently pursuing a BFA in Acting at Hofstra University, having previously worked with and learned from both WallByrd Theatre Company and also many private teachers and coaches in dance, acting, and voice. To date, I've directed two feature length films and five short films, and likewise starred in multiple short films and stage productions such as "Chorus Line," "Dial M for Murder," and "Newsies." I have a passion for storytelling in a way that is meaningful and transformative, both for the creative team and the viewing audience. I also have a deeply rooted passion for Shakespeare, having portrayed Lady Macbeth, Rosalind, and Helena. Currently working and studying as an actress and director in the NYC area, I hope to empower young learners with very current, direct, and creative knowledge that'll allow them to expand and explore as performers.

Let's start learning!
