What I'm looking for
I am an experienced French educator currently pursuing my Ph.D. in French at the University of Cape Town. With a strong academic background, including an M.Phil. and M.A. in French, I have dedicated my career to teaching and translating the French language. My journey has taken me from being an Assistant Professor in India to an Online French Tutor, where I have honed my skills in adapting teaching methods to meet the needs of diverse learners.
Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my contributions to language education, including organizing national seminars and participating in international colloquiums. My research focuses on innovative teaching strategies and integrating cultural competence into language learning. I am passionate about fostering a love for the French language and culture in my students, and I strive to create engaging and effective learning environments.
