I'm a educator and visual artist with many years of experience teaching and tutoring high school and college students. I have a BA in Political Science from New College of Florida and a MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While I'm a photographer by trade, I also have a passion for and expertise in Math and the Natural Sciences -- as well as French and Spanish, having studied and worked in both Paris and Central America. While I'm proficient now, I struggled with both languages early on, and understand the challenges of both starting a new language and in moving from a conversational to a more proficient level. I'm also available for ACT and SAT test prep -- and work especially well with students who are visual learners (though I have a wide range of materials and resources for all styles of learning!).

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.
I am a highly dedicated, creative, and passionate educator with a Master of Arts in Teaching Foreign Languages with a Major in French from the Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education & Counseling, and a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Lewis & Clark College, with whom I had a full tuition undergraduate scholarship. I have over 15 years of experience in education, including over 10 years of experience teaching French. I earned my 5-year FL Professional Certificate for World Language - French, Grades K-12, the highest teaching certificate the state of FL has to offer.
I am committed to serving others and guaranteeing the success of my students. My passion is helping those in need and alleviating struggle, especially with academics! I especially love working with the French language.
I am passionate about business, economics, and management and have nearly ten years of experience. I believe that when one teaches, two learn-the student and the teacher.
I am an avid cook, and I love spending time outdoors.
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.
As a second-year medical student with a strong foundation in science and a passion for education, I specialize in making tough subjects easier to understand. I excel in math, biology, physics, and other challenging topics that often intimidate students and I genuinely enjoy helping others master them. My approach combines patience, clarity, and high-level understanding to break down complex ideas into manageable, confidence-boosting lessons. Whether it's reviewing homework or prepping for exams, I'm here to support and motivate students at any level below mine to reach their full academic potential. My interests include: Weightlifting and fitness training (especially strength and hypertrophy programs) Morning cardio and physical conditioning Studying medicine with a focus on anatomy, physiology, and clinical problem-solving Teaching and tutoring tough academic subjects like math, biology, and physics Watching anime as a way to relax and recharge (especially after a long day) Cooking (with a focus on high-protein, keto/carnivore meals)
I am a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania where I majored in International Studies and Business. I have a strong background in math, critical reading, writing, and french. I have spent several years living abroad and am a native French speaker.
Samantha earned her B.A. in French Language from Duke, which means AP French students get a tutor who can dissect a Le Monde article, explain the subtleties of the subjonctif, and coach persuasive essay writing in French — all skills the exam demands. She knows exactly where the AP rubric rewards nuance and where students lose points on careless grammar.
I am a recent graduate of Bowdoin College with a BA in Biology, English, and Theater. I have been tutoring pretty steadily in one form or another since middle school and am quite comfortable tackling diverse subjects in both the arts and sciences. As a native Spanish speaker, reader, and writer I have years of experience tutoring students at all proficiency levels in the language. My bilingual background has also given me the opportunity to work with native Spanish speakers in other academic subjects. I bring a compassionate and collaborative approach to teaching. I strongly believe that a tutor must treat his or her student as a teammate and not as someone who merely needs instruction. The goal of any tutoring session should be to bring out and foster a student's own capacity to understand and excel in a given field, which begins with respect. I am currently pursuing a graduate study in biology- where my interests primarily lie in evolution and bioanthropology.
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.
I'm not around.
Andrew's experience with the SAT Subject Tests in both French and French with Listening means he already knows the grammar structures, idiomatic expressions, and listening comprehension skills AP French demands. He approaches the exam's interpersonal and presentational communication tasks with the same analytical rigor he brings to his science and humanities subjects.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, with a bachelor's degree in psychology and linguistics. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in speech-language pathology at Teachers College, Columbia University. In the past, I have worked as a teacher's aide in a public school classroom, a mentor to middle school girls, an instructor and tutor at the literacy education organization 826, and a summer camp counselor. I tutor a diverse range of subjects, and I find that I especially enjoy tutoring language arts, reading, and writing at all levels, from elementary school all the way up to college/grad school test prep. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students reach their full potential as learners. Throughout my years as an educator, I have seen firsthand the remarkable academic growth that can occur when tutors provide students with the individualized support that they need. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, and learning about other languages and cultures.
I'm very happy helping others in their studies. Both my language level and my teaching skills will guarantee the quality and efficiency of the tutoring.
I'm reveling in this most recent stop on my long and exciting academic path.
Columbia's course catalog doesn't list AP French prep, but Adam's path through AP French Language & Culture and continued study across multiple levels of French gives him a clear read on where students lose points — particularly on the timed interpersonal tasks where hesitation and anglicisms creep in. His 34 ACT signals the kind of disciplined test-taking instinct that pairs well with drilling exam-specific strategies for the cultural comparison and presentational writing sections.

Frequently Asked Questions
The AP French exam tests your proficiency across reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. You'll encounter multiple-choice questions on reading and listening comprehension, free-response writing tasks, and a speaking section where you'll have conversations and deliver presentations. The exam is designed to assess your ability to communicate in French at an intermediate to advanced level, similar to CEFR level B1-B2 proficiency.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for language learning because tutors can target your specific weak areas—whether that's verb conjugations, subjunctive mood, or speaking fluency—and adjust pacing to match your learning speed. Research on language acquisition shows that focused, individualized practice significantly accelerates progress. Many students see meaningful score improvements when they work with tutors who understand the AP exam format and can provide targeted feedback on all four skill areas.
Many students struggle with the subjunctive mood and complex grammar structures, especially when they appear in reading passages or require use in writing responses. The speaking section also challenges students who haven't had much conversation practice, as they must think quickly and respond naturally. Additionally, understanding authentic French audio at natural speed—including regional accents and colloquial expressions—trips up students who've primarily studied from textbooks. A tutor can provide targeted practice in each of these areas and build your confidence before test day.
Most students benefit from starting exam preparation 3-4 months before the test, though this depends on your current proficiency level. If you're starting from a lower foundation, 5-6 months of consistent study is ideal. The key is regular, focused practice rather than cramming—language skills develop through spaced repetition and ongoing exposure. Working with a tutor helps you create an efficient study schedule and ensures you're spending time on the areas that will have the biggest impact on your score.
Practice tests are essential because they familiarize you with the exam format, timing constraints, and question types you'll encounter on test day. Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions helps you identify which sections need more work and builds test-taking stamina. A tutor can review your practice test results with you, pinpoint patterns in your mistakes, and provide targeted instruction on the specific skills or content areas where you're losing points.
The speaking section requires you to have natural conversations and deliver prepared remarks—skills that are hard to develop without a conversation partner. Connecting with a tutor gives you regular opportunities to speak French in a low-pressure environment where you can make mistakes and receive immediate feedback. Tutors can help you expand your vocabulary for common topics, practice transitioning between ideas smoothly, and develop strategies for handling questions you don't fully understand.
Your first session is typically an assessment and planning conversation. The tutor will evaluate your current French proficiency across all four skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking), discuss your goals and timeline, and identify which areas need the most attention. From there, you'll work together to create a personalized study plan that targets your specific challenges while building on your strengths—whether that's grammar review, conversation practice, or test-taking strategy.
Look for tutors who have deep knowledge of the AP French curriculum and exam format, ideally with experience helping students prepare for the test. Native or near-native French speakers bring authentic language exposure, while tutors who understand common student mistakes can address them efficiently. It's also valuable to work with someone who has taught or tutored French at the advanced level and can explain complex grammar concepts clearly. Varsity Tutors connects you with experienced French tutors in Jacksonville who understand the AP exam and can tailor instruction to your needs.
