Kathryn
Bonjour! My name is Kathryn and I graduated from the University of Virginia with a major in French. At UVA I applied and was accepted to live in the French House alongside my French-speaking peers and had the opportunity to attend many French cultural events hosted there. During the summer of 2018 I worked as an au pair for a French family. I spoke only French for these three months and learned what daily life in France feels like. After falling in love with the country and its culture, I returned to Lyon, France for a semester through my university’s study abroad program and studied at Sciences Po and Lyon Lumière 2. I enjoy cooking, running, and spending my summers in France.
I enjoy and have experience teaching French to all ages. I have taught private and group lessons to both children and adults through the Alliance Française in my town, helped lead children’s French immersion camps, and have worked most recently as a high school French teacher where I ran the French department and built its curriculum. I have really appreciated working with a variety of age groups and enjoy creating engaging lesson plans that correspond to my students’ goals and current level of French. I am a patient, creative, and enthusiastic teacher. I am very passionate about the French language and am excited to help guide you on your journey to fluency!
Since immersion is so important when learning a language, I incorporate speaking, writing, listening, and reading activities into my lessons. This may look like listening to a daily weather report in France, watching a scene from a French movie, or even translating a French recipe! It’s essential to incorporate hobbies into language learning, and I enjoy doing this for my students with engaging activities based on their interests. I speak French as much as possible in my lessons to further reinforce key French vocabulary and phrases and work with my students’ goals to create organized and effective lesson plans. I want my students to feel secure and to know that it’s okay to make mistakes!
