Private French instructor. I use art and music as a means to teach French to primary aged students. With my older students I enjoy exploring french literature, teaching various forms of literary analysis, and the arts of rhetoric and of essay writing.

In Summer 2016 I will be offering a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on informal, or colloquial, French. To find out more please visit wizIQ here http://bit.ly/1OeOBFa.

In my free time I reading and listening to a wide range of media, reading novels and book reviews, writing poetry and prose and learnig about new web technologies.
