Faona d.
Private tutor in Washington, DC
Education
In progress: BA in Political Science. (Half done at McGill in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. To be continued in September 2015 at George Mason University) DEC (College Degree, Prerequisite to University in Quebec, Canada) In Law with a minor in French.
Experience
Received at 97% score on the TOEFL (A standardized English language test for transferring from another country into the US. It is a university level exam with equal Listening, Writing/Essay/Creative, and Reading Comprehension parts.) I have University level French. In Quebec, the French classes are mandatory until the University level. I have been educated in French for my whole academic career. In College (the prerequisite to University) I held a 97.5% average in English throughout, and was offered in my last year to be a Teaching Assistant (TA) to English teachers. In that, I corrected works, assisted students with any reading/writing/grammatical questions, as well as composition. My interest in tutoring: I love helping people and have a natural talent/knack for languages. My strongest are English and French. Having a second language under your belt is an incredible asset, and to help people or students achieve this goal is very important to me. In addition to that, mastering the English language is not only necessary but will aid students not only in their academic careers, but in their future workforce careers as well. Mastering the English language will open an infinite amount of doors for these young pros, and I want nothing but to help them achieve their goals!

Hobbies
I'm hugely passionate (as you've gathered I'm sure) about languages. I speak English, French and Italian fluently (though my Italian is more at the intermediate level more so than the expert level). I'm a dog lover, any breed, any size I love them all, and have a bit of a natural talent for Canine behaviour. I love food from all corners of the globe, travel and have aspirations to visit as many countries as I possibly can.
