Alexandra S.

Private tutor in Iowa City, IA

Education

PhD student in Second Language Acquisition at the University of Iowa (Expected, spring 2018; GPA: 3.83) MA in French Literature and Pedagogy from Illinois State University (May 2012; GPA: 4.0) BA in Modern Languages & Literatures (French; Russian) from Kenyon College (May 2010; GPA: 3.26 overall, 3.6 within major)

Experience

I have five years of French teaching experience in an instructional setting, a combined total of one year of private French tutoring experience to children and young adults, and one year of private ESL tutoring experience. Currently, I teach introductory and intermediate French language courses to undergraduate students at the University of Iowa. Language teaching is not only my passion in life but it is my career path, as well. I enjoy sharing my love of language with others in the hopes that they will see how important, rewarding, and FUN learning and understanding a second language can be.

Hobbies

During my spare time, I enjoy taking my dog for walks around Iowa City, spending time with friends and family, listening to podcasts on a variety of topics, reading, watching movies, going to live music shows, and cooking. In terms of my personality, I am outgoing, organized, open to new ideas, and I possess an eclectic taste. I incorporate those qualities into my teaching through well thought-out lessons that incorporate all facets of language learning (reading, writing, speaking, listening) in addition to contemporary culture found in music, film clips, television commercials, blogs, and magazines.
