I am currently a French Education student at Ohio University with a background in English and Creative Writing. Before I was in college, I was a teacher’s aide at my local high school. This is where I started on my path towards becoming an educator. I assisted in Introductory French classrooms, where I gained the skills to help students understand a subject as complex as a foreign language. I continued this love of teaching by joining my college’s club of Foreign Languages in Elementary Schools, where we get experience by sharing our love of foreign language with elementary aged students. As a lover of the French language, I have been fortunate enough to visit France two times in my life, once when I was seventeen and again when I graduated high school. I hope to soon make that three times, as I have applied to study abroad in Grenoble, France for the summer of 2019. I would love to take the skills I’ve learned to tutor students.
