For now, can you relate to my experience? Maybe they kee... Read more

I have a Master's Degree in Reading from the University of Virginia. I have been tutoring children for many years. Most recently I was the reading specialist at Chesterbrook Academy.

Bonjour! French is a beautiful language that I enjoy sharing with others! I love to tutor because I know how much is accomplished by working one on one.
