What I'm looking for

I seek a progressive remote organization that values innovative teaching and supports professional growth.

I am a dynamic Freelance Language Tutor with over three years of experience, dedicated to delivering tailored lessons in French and Japanese. My journey has allowed me to guide more than 15 learners, helping them achieve their language certifications, including DELF and JLPT, within impressive timeframes. I pride myself on creating engaging and customized lesson plans using innovative tools such as Canva and Quizlet, ensuring that each student's unique needs are met.

Currently, I am self-employed as a Freelance Language Tutor, where I conduct comprehensive needs analyses to inform and design tailored lesson plans. My approach is interactive and student-centered, facilitating learners' preparation for DELF A1–A2 and JLPT N5–N4. I am eager to leverage my strong pedagogical skills and deep understanding of language acquisition to contribute to a progressive remote organization that values innovative teaching methods.
