For two months, I home schooled a girl in 3rd grade. The parents withdrew her from regular school and asked me to tutor her until her summer break started. I've also volunteered at a mentally/physically delayed facility for a summer and worked with an 11-year-old girl. I studied French in high school and a semester at college.
