Learn French from the comfort of your home, office or favorite coffee shop!

My name is Maria, an Italian citizen living in Brooklyn. I am fluent in Italian and French, I studied and lived in Geneva for 4 years and I offer French classes for all levels. The tutoring lessons are adapted to your specific needs - for children, teens, and adults - whether you just want to learn a new language or practice it on a more advanced level. I furthermore offer support for proficiency language test preparation. The teaching method I use aims at stimulating the student to speak immediately and put the focus on the functional aspect of the language.

About Me
Originally from the south of Italy, I’ve been a wandering soul for the last five years, traveling through Europe and the U.S. to finally settle in Brooklyn. The biggest treasure I got out of these experiences was to learn and be exposed to different cultures and languages. I was fascinated by languages for the freedom they give me traveling to other countries and for allowing me to appreciate the essence of the place by living it in its native language.
Three years ago, while in Geneva, I got involved in tandem language learning where I was exchanging my language skills with native speakers from different places to improve my vocabulary and confidence with foreign languages in a relaxed and friendly way. Since then I started to offer private Italian and French lessons to individuals to recreate the same relaxed and friendly environment stimulating the interest and the attention of the students.
Education
- Master's degree in Environmental Sciences at the University of Geneva, Switzerland
- Bachelor's degree in Biology at University of Benevento, Italy
- Cambridge English Advanced (CAE)
- DALF C1, French proficiency certification
Experience / Qualifications
I have experience teaching to individuals with different levels of Italian as well as small groups. I was involved in the welcome committee for foreign students of my University in Italy and I worked as a freelance translator from English-Italian and French-Italian.

Hi,

In this rapidly evolving world of expanding knowledge and data, real social connections are vital. From a young age, helping others has been a passion of mine. I am driven to contribute to society by fostering meaningful connections and bringing people together, which is why I'm excited to offer my tutoring services.

Currently pursuing my second year of Civil Engineering at KU Leuven, I've come to realize that my true calling lies in human interaction rather than purely theoretical courses. Consequently, I've decided to pursue a degree in Business Engineering starting in September. But before embarking on this new journey, I wish to share my expertise, support others in their learning, and acquire complementary skills.

With pride in the quality of education I received at Heilig Hartcollege Tervuren, I'm enthusiastic about sharing my knowledge and providing study pathway counseling. From elementary to university level Civil Engineering, I can cover a wide range of subjects.

Feel free to reach out if you have any specific inquiries or would like to know more about the subjects I can cover.

Currently based in Belgium, I've accumulated two years of experience in private tutoring. As soon as opportunities arise in Manhattan, I'm more than willing to fly over and share my passion for teaching in the vibrant city I love.

I'm excited to meet you and start working together to enhance your academic performance and achieve your goals!

Open to all offers and propositions.

Best regards,
Arnaud
