Sophie G.
Private tutor in Menlo Park, CA
Education
I got my Master's Degree in English/French Translation in 2008 in Paris 7 Denis Diderot University - Charles V, known in France to be the best French University to learn English. 15 years of experience.
Experience
I started tutoring English and French in France in 2006 and have spent 15 years tutoring children from 12 years old to graduates and adults. I also worked a year as an English teacher in a private middle-school in the suburb of Paris. I have tutored 101 students during private lessons and have led 28 small group classes with up to 8 students in each. I know everybody has his own rhythm, so I adapt to yours. I have worked or been working with employees from K&L Wine Merchants, Houligan Lokey, Palantir, Adobe, Biocodex, the International Criminal Court in la Hague and more needing French lessons to teach, support and increase this skill for their job. In April 2015, two of my students to whom I teach the French II program passed their exam for French III and were even offered to go to French III Honors. Both also won a medal at Le Grand Concours, the National French Contest held in late March. Thirteen of my students took the AP test between May 2016 and May 2021 and passed with success! I am also happy to announce that France@yours has received Thumbtack’s Best of 2015 and 2016 awards in the Tutors category! I'm bringing my experience in France to you so that you can learn French another way, though adapted to the American system. Tutoring is my full-time job. I really like teaching and focusing on your needs and difficulties. I'm here for you!

Hobbies
I love travelling, cooking and reading. Since I read a lot (up to 5 books a month), I created in 2009 my own website on which I post my reviews on the books I read and the movies I watch. You can then meet me and my reviews up at this address: livriotheque.free.fr All's written in French, so it's a good and easy way to practice!
