French Tutor For English Speakers (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced)
From 21.59 C$ /h
Hello there! My name is Jessica and I'm a translator (from English to French) proficient in both languages, as well as having an intermediate level in Greek (between B1 and B2). My passion for the written word has led me to read different levels of literary works written in English and French. Not only do I love being challenged by the difficulties of conveying meaning from one language to another, I believe I'm in the best position to help my students enjoy those nuances and acquire them naturally through linguistic associations and visual support that will help them learn the patterns of the language in the most intuitive way. I know everyone has its strengths when it comes to language learning and I really want to adapt my courses to your specific needs as much as possible. If you live in my area (Nicosia, Cyprus), I'd be more than happy to give lessons in person as well and to work in the evenings if it suits you better. If you have children, I've worked as a summer camp counselor before (for two years) and I truly cherish those memories. I wish more teachers I had growing up would have instilled in me a love of language learning, and so that's what I'm aiming for: to engage and inspire my students to reach their goals and have fun doing it!

About Me
My name is Jessica, I'm a 29 year-old translator, passionate about my native French language as well as English and French literature. I got a Bachelor's Degree in translation from the University of Montreal and now live in Europe. My education allows me to have a unique approach to teaching my language as I've analyzed different translating methods and language learning styles not only for my work as a translator, but also in order to teach myself foreign languages in the most efficient ways (Greek, Spanish and Italian), though Greek took over with time as I had more use for it in my personal life. I'm hoping to be able to transmit my passion to you and help you reach your goals in a reasonable time frame.

Experience / Qualifications
I've done interpretation work for a non-profit organization in Canada (from English to French) and I've worked with children (10-11) and teenagers (12-16) for two years in a French-speaking summer camp back in Canada. My other jobs (in customer service, as a secretary or mini-train driver for children) all required me to speak fluent French as well as English when needed. My whole education - from primary school to University - has solely been in French, except my English literature classes and a Linguistics course (in College) and two Translation classes (at University) where I had to translate from French to English. My English-speaking skills were mostly acquired through immersion with native speakers and extensive exposition to culture (books, movies, music, etc.) from different eras and countries.
