I'm a Ph.D. candidate in French Studies at UCLA finishing my dissertation about contemporary French literature. My main research specializations are French language and literature. However, I also have a certification in critical theory and conduct research in cultural studies and music history. I have taught first- and second-year French classes at UCLA for four years, and before that, I taught first-year French for 3 years at the University of Kansas.

I am a rising Senior currently studying neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania. Science and particularly the inner workings of the brain have been a passion of mine from a very young age, where I remember candidly telling my mother that I would be a neurosurgeon one day.
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?
I am a junior at Vanderbilt University studying Economics and Math, and I intend to get my PhD in Economics after graduating. Taking the GRE was the first step of my graduate admissions process, and I want to help others achieve similar success so that they can pursue their dreams. In addition, I enjoy tutoring economics and chemistry, as those are my favorite subjects. During my spare time, I like to play cello, read, and bake pies (especially peach pie).
I am comfortable tutoring the language at any level. Besides French, I enjoy with students on SAT prep and college application essays. I am passionate about teaching and know what it takes to create a personalized program to help students reach their goals. Outside of tutoring, I'm an avid reader with a particular passion for modern Middle Eastern history, and I love watching cycling and going for bike rides.
I am a lifelong francophile who has lived in Paris, France for almost a year. I am also an avid NCAA men's and women's basketball fan! Go Rams! Go Terps!
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!
Two years living and teaching in Guadeloupe gave Megan the kind of immersive French fluency that AP exam prep demands — particularly for the interpersonal speaking and presentational writing tasks that trip students up most. She knows the difference between textbook French and the real-world usage AP graders reward. Her approach tackles listening comprehension and cultural context alongside grammar so students feel prepared for every section.
I am an educator and artist with a passion for languages. I have experience teaching in both Minneapolis and Paris, and I have tutored in K-12 core subject matters - math, science, language arts, and social studies. I have my Master's of Education from the University of Minnesota in Second Languages and Cultures with a narrow focus on English as a Second Language. I am fluent in French and have an intermediate level in Spanish and Arabic. My main goals when working with students is to meet them where they are at in their learning, as well as use creative ways to make knowledge accessible. When I'm not teaching, I am spending time outside, reading up and working on anti-oppression, and watching movies. I am also a novice herbalist and astrologer, and hope to dedicate more time in learning about our plan(t)cestors and how they help with healing.
Conducting PhD research on West African music at Harvard, Sarah uses French as a working language for fieldwork, academic reading, and professional communication. She brings that real-world fluency to AP French prep, drilling students on the interpretive listening passages and persuasive essay prompts that carry the most weight on exam day.
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 22 years old and just graduated from the University of Kentucky with a double degree in French and Biochemistry. I have been a tutor for over a year now at UK's tutoring center. I believe that anyone can learn anything with enough practice and encouragement, and I love helping students overcome challenges and gain more self-confidence!

Frequently Asked Questions
The AP French exam tests proficiency across five key areas: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, writing, speaking, and cultural knowledge. The exam is approximately 3 hours long and includes multiple-choice sections, free-response writing tasks, and a speaking component where you'll record responses to prompts. Success requires not just grammar knowledge, but the ability to understand authentic French materials, express complex ideas, and demonstrate cultural understanding.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and consistency with practice. Students who work with a tutor typically see meaningful gains by focusing on their weakest areas—whether that's listening comprehension, essay structure, or speaking fluency. Many students improve by 1-2 score points (from a 3 to a 4 or 5, for example) when they combine personalized instruction with regular practice tests and targeted vocabulary review over several months.
The listening section trips up many students because native speakers speak at natural pace with authentic accents and colloquialisms. The free-response writing section requires not just correct grammar but sophisticated vocabulary and cultural nuance. Additionally, managing time across all five sections during the exam can be stressful—you need to balance accuracy with pacing to complete everything. Tutors can help you develop strategies for each challenge, from active listening techniques to essay organization frameworks.
Ideally, you should begin tutoring at least 3-4 months before the exam in May, though starting earlier gives you more time to build foundational skills and practice under exam conditions. If you're already in your AP French class, a tutor can help you stay on track with curriculum while simultaneously building exam-specific strategies. Even 6-8 weeks of focused tutoring can help you refine weak areas and build confidence with practice tests.
Practice tests are essential—they help you understand the exam format, identify which sections need the most work, and build stamina for the full 3-hour exam. Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions reveals pacing issues and helps you get comfortable with the speaking and writing components. Tutors can review your practice test results with you, pinpoint patterns in your mistakes, and adjust your study plan accordingly.
The speaking section feels intimidating because you're recording your voice, but practice and familiarity make a huge difference. Working with a tutor gives you a safe space to practice speaking responses aloud, get feedback on pronunciation and fluency, and build confidence before test day. Regular speaking practice—even just 10-15 minutes per session—helps you internalize natural phrasing and reduces the anxiety that comes from unfamiliarity.
Look for tutors with native or near-native French fluency, ideally with experience teaching or tutoring AP French specifically. They should understand the AP exam format deeply and have a track record helping students improve their scores. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert French tutors who know the curriculum, can identify your weak areas quickly, and tailor instruction to your learning style and timeline.
Your first session is typically an assessment and goal-setting conversation. The tutor will ask about your current French level, which sections of the exam concern you most, and what score you're aiming for. They may give you a brief diagnostic to identify specific gaps—like vocabulary in certain topics or trouble with subjunctive mood—so they can create a personalized study plan. This foundation ensures every future session is focused and efficient.
