Award-Winning AP French Tutors
serving Phoenix, AZ

While French isn't Andrea's primary specialty, her experience with language-based SAT Subject Tests in Spanish gives her a structured framework for tackling AP-level language exams. She approaches AP French prep analytically, breaking down the exam's listening, reading, and writing components so students know exactly what each section demands.

I am a PhD student at the University of Michigan, studying social psychology. Before this, I was at Duke University completing a BS in psychology as well as a MS in global health. My research combines the fields of global health and psychology by examining the effects of culture on self-related psychological processes. I hope to continue in academia to become a professor of psychology, as teaching is among my greatest passions.

Earning a degree with a French emphasis means Mac didn't just study the language — he lived inside its grammar, literature, and cultural context for years. For AP French, he zeroes in on the presentational writing and speaking tasks that tend to separate 4s from 5s, drilling the subjunctive constructions and transitional phrases that make responses sound polished rather than translated from English.

Amanda is pursuing a full degree in French Language, Literature, and Culture at Barnard College, Columbia University — meaning she doesn't just speak French, she analyzes its literary traditions and cultural contexts at a university level. For AP French, she breaks down the thematic units (like global challenges, beauty and aesthetics, and contemporary life) with the depth of someone who engages with these topics in French daily.

I am proud to say that the eleven-year-old Vietnamese girl and boy that I tutored for 5 years are both attending Medical school. In addition, I am proud to say that I speak, write and read in French, English, Spanish, Haitian Creole and Italian proficiently. Whenever I tell people that I speak French, they often assume that it is not my mother tongue language because I have no accent in English. I am always proud to say that I did not know how to speak English until I was 16 years of age. Learning a language is like cracking a secret code. Once you decode it, the treasure is yours.

Georgetown's School of Foreign Service requires serious language chops, and Emma chose French as one of her core languages — studying it through advanced coursework (French 4 and AP-level) alongside Latin, which sharpened her instinct for grammatical structure in ways that transfer directly to mastering French syntax. She's the kind of tutor who'll have students watch a French film clip to internalize register and tone, then circle back to the formal essay techniques the AP exam actually scores.

A semester-long language-immersion program in Toulouse gave Laura the kind of fluency that AP French graders actually reward — natural register, idiomatic phrasing, and the ability to argue a position without mentally translating from English first. French is one of her two majors at Washington University in St. Louis, and she channels that deep study into the cultural comparison and persuasive essay tasks where students need to go beyond correct grammar and demonstrate real command of the language. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

Erintrude earned her bachelor's degree in French from Kenyon College, giving her the deep literary and linguistic grounding that AP French demands — from analyzing texts by Francophone authors to constructing persuasive essays entirely in French. She knows how to break down the presentational and interpersonal communication tasks that drive AP scoring, and her translation studies background sharpens students' ability to think in French rather than mentally converting from English.

I am a graduate of the Ohio State University, where I completed a BA summa cum laude in linguistics and Romance studies with specializations in French, Spanish, and Italian. I then completed a JD at Cornell University, where I used my language skills to focus on international and comparative law, as well as developing particular skills in criminal law and general trial advocacy. In addition, I spent a year in France at the Universit Paris 1 Panthon-Sorbonne, where I obtained an LLM (master of laws) in French, European, and international law. Outside of academia, I have worked as a document translator and an in-court interpreter in both French and Spanish and have worked directly with French- and Spanish-speaking clients in legal and financial settings. As an undergraduate student, I was French-language liaison to the Modern Languages and Cultures Undergraduate Council, in which position I oversaw tutoring sessions, organized conversation and culture hours, and represented the interests of Francophone students and French learners at Council meetings. In addition, I co-directed an outreach program to local elementary schools, teaching both French and Spanish to children in grades K-4. On the legal side, I have worked in immigration, contract, family, and criminal law, and have been a teaching assistant for legal courses and served as a graduate-student mentor for pre-law students.

I am friendly, reliable, and most importantlycommitted to helping you learn! It is my top priority to create a positive learning experience that will help boost your test scores without boring you to tears. After all, shouldn't learning be fun?

Michael's Spanish degree and Teach For America training give him a language-teaching framework that translates directly to AP French — particularly the interpersonal communication tasks where students must think on their feet and respond spontaneously. He also tutors CLEP French, so he's familiar with the grammar structures and reading comprehension skills that overlap between the two exams.
