Award-Winning AP French Tutors
serving York, PA

Claire started learning French at age five, majored in it at Brown, and spent a full semester in Senegal speaking nothing but French in daily life. For AP French, she digs into the interpretive and presentational communication tasks that trip students up most — teaching them to construct persuasive arguments in French and to listen for nuance in authentic audio sources.

Most AP French tutors on this page come from language or humanities backgrounds — Olivia comes from chemical engineering, which means she learned French the hard way: through disciplined study, structured grammar practice, and building fluency course by course through AP-level and beyond. That systematic approach pays off for students who need to tighten their command of verb tenses, discourse markers, and formal register before exam day. Rated 4.9 by students.

Having studied in France and earned a degree in French Language, Taylor brings real cultural fluency to AP French prep — from mastering the interpersonal speaking prompts to crafting persuasive essays in formal register. She breaks down tricky grammar structures like the subjunctive and conditional so students can deploy them confidently on exam day. Rated 5.0 by 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?

I'm New York City born and raised. I graduated from the University of Chicago last year with a degree in East Asian Languages and Civilizations. I am developing my own teaching methods to evolve traditional East Asian and French language acquisition, and to do this I need even more experience. My course of study has been directed at learning as much as I can about the culture, economy, and history of East Asia, China and Japan in particular. I view myself as someone who is entrepreneurial, collegial, individually motivated to produce high quality work, as well as foster a love of the subject which I teach. I am compassionate and enjoy working with both children and adults. I believe I have something to learn from everyone I meet.

I am a third-year undergraduate student at Carnegie Mellon University studying Voice and Opera Performance with minors in Music Education and French and Francophone Studies. My ultimate goal is to become a teacher because I love working with students to help them achieve mastery of their subject(s)!

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 recent graduate of Wagner College who received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing with a minor in French. I am currently a RN at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in the Pediatric ICU and come with fresh experience in NCLEX/TEAS test prep and clinical fieldwork. I have tutored students in the past with Kumon, in private, and while in university, so I'm very familiar working with students of all ages (children and adults alike), and very excited to begin work with Varsity Tutors! I always make sure to have fun and involve students in lessons so that the subjects are more relatable to students and they can find personal ways to engage with the topics taught. Although I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about French language and culture, particularly francophone tradition, food, and celebration. My trips to France really kept my French knowledge and interests alive.

I am super excited to work with students helping them advance in their academic goals! So let's get started!

I'm a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania majoring in Political Science and Urban Studies with a minor in French. Education is what I believe to be the key to success and the door that opens up a better tomorrow.

But don't forget to be happy! Favorite quote and my go-to motto, "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

With certifications to teach French from PreK through 12th grade, experience teaching AP French, and a master's degree specifically in Teaching French as a Second or Foreign Language, Ariana knows the pedagogical side of this exam as well as the linguistic side. She tackles the gap between students who can conjugate correctly on a worksheet and students who can deploy those same structures fluidly in a timed persuasive essay or spontaneous conversation task — the shift that separates 3s from 5s.

I am earning dual Bachelors of Science from Duke University and Duke Kunshan University (located in Kunshan, Jiangsu, China) in Behavioral Science-- intended to graduate in 2023. As a former Varsity Tutors student myself, I can confidently say that our services not only allow students to be proud of what they can achieve (for myself it was an SAT score and college admissions essays) but also who they are. Tutoring had a huge impact on my confidence in the classroom and other academic settings (i.e. testing, presentations, etc.) My greatest wish is to pay it forward.

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.

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 believe that anyone can learn anything with enough practice and encouragement, and I love helping students overcome challenges and gain more self-confidence!

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.

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 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.

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.
