About Claire

Empowering students to reach their full potential is at the heart of my teaching practice. As a native French speaker, I know the challenges and difficulties of learning a second language. With many years of experience as a Certified French and ESOL Teacher, I specialize in helping students excel in French or in English for Multilingual Learners. I believe that every learner possesses unique strengths; therefore, I tailor my approach by observing how they interact with new material and maintaining open communication. When concepts become difficult, I break them into manageable steps and connect lessons to your personal interests to keep you engaged. I prioritize building your confidence and critical thinking skills over simple memorization. Whether we meet at your home, a library, or online, I am committed to fostering a collaborative environment where you feel supported. Witnessing your "aha!" moment when a complex idea finally clicks is what I find most rewarding about this journey.
