About Valerie
Born in a Paris suburb, I grew up in Nantes, on the west coast of France. After earning a degree in business and marketing, my professional career started in business management in Paris, then in Pittsburgh, PA. In my late 30s, I attended Duquesne University and obtained a Bachelor of Education in French. I then continued my studies in the field and obtained a Master degree in Educational Technology, as I predicted that teaching delivery would change with the insertion of laptops in classrooms and virtual learning.
My family lives in France, and I make a point to visit them regularly and keep myself updated on the French culture.
I am retiring from public school teaching in June 2024 after a fulfilling career, but I am eager to continue sharing my linguistic expertise. I am an enthusiastic lifelong learner with diverse interests including international travel, music appreciation, history and literature.

Experienced and Dedicated French Teacher
I am a highly skilled and dedicated French teacher with over two decades of experience in the public school system. My native fluency in the French language, combined with a passion for education and leveraging technology to enhance learning outcomes, will help you achieve your goals in mastering the French language.
With extensive experience teaching French at all levels, I am well-equipped to cater to anyone's needs in learning the language. My background includes teaching French in public education settings, from middle school (7th grade) through high school (12th grade). Additionally, I have taught French courses at the college level and provided one-on-one tutoring. This diverse range of teaching experiences allows me to confidently assist learners of all ages and proficiency levels in their journey to mastering the French language.
Leveraging Educational Technology
I hold a Master's degree in Educational Technology, enabling the integration of cutting-edge digital tools and innovative teaching methodologies. I keep myself updated on new technology trends, so I can relate to the students of today and stray away from old-fashioned teaching methods by providing relevant and entertaining teaching materials.
Engaging and Immersive Learning Environment
I have a proven track record of fostering an engaging and immersive learning environment, empowering students to develop proficiency in French language skills. I am committed to continuous professional development, staying abreast of the latest pedagogical approaches and educational technologies to deliver high-quality, student-centered instruction.
AP French and Current Materials
I am a certified AP French teacher, and I introduce current materials from various media sources, so my students not only gain proficiency in the French language but also stay connected to current events in the Francophone world.
Personalized Instruction
After evaluating your learning style, I will adapt to your mode of learning. You will be provided with personalized instruction, as I understand that not everyone learns the same way.
Friendly and Fun Educational Delivery
I believe in a friendly and fun way of educational delivery. I have been successful throughout my two decades of teaching, thanks to my light-hearted way of communicating, using humor, still educating my audience with real, authentic materials. Since I grew up in France, I am available to share my personal experience and help you discover and relate to what being French means.
How Does a Typical Lesson Plan Looks Like?
As a dedicated language instructor, my approach is tailored to your individual needs and learning style. During our first session, we'll collaborate to define the most effective methods that work best for you. This initial interaction will allow me to design customized lesson plans and learning outcomes that align with your goals and proficiency level in the French language and culture.
Depending on your current French proficiency, I will provide you with the necessary tools to assess and enhance your vocabulary, grammar, and exposure to authentic materials relevant to your educational journey. My teaching methods are flexible and adaptable, recognizing that modern education has evolved from traditional approaches.
Once we establish our partnership, you will have the opportunity to clearly articulate your expectations, and I will make every effort to meet and exceed them. My commitment is to create an engaging and personalized learning experience that empowers you to achieve your language goals effectively.
