About Gordon
I have been teaching and tutoring French for over six years. I've tutored one-on-one with middle school and high school students, undergraduate and graduate university students, and adult learners. I've taught classes of 5-25 students at all of these levels, and I have experience teaching not only French to English speakers, but English to French speakers as well. I've taught in the United States and in France. Some of my best students go on to place out of college courses in French and attain diplomas like the DELF (Diplôme d'études de langue française) awarded by the French government -- but some of my greatest success stories are students who felt so challenged that they just wanted to pass the course, then did so with flying colors! And perhaps the most gratifying experience is to help an adult learner regain skills they thought they had lost that bring them closer to their French-language heritage and get put to use on a trip of a lifetime to France or Belgium or Switzerland or Morocco or Senegal or Cameroon!

Certified at the highest level of the Diplôme approfondi de langue française (DALF) by the French government and the holder of master's degrees in French from Louisiana State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I bring a wealth of knowledge about French language, literature, and culture to my students. My students learn through engaging and interactive cultural and communicative activities that give them the practical tools to speak, understand, and read and write in French while developing their appreciation and knowledge of the different French-speaking cultures around the world. Whether you want to improve your grade in French class or brush up before a trip, whether for business or for pleasure, whether for a semester or for a lifetime, your lessons are tailored individually to you and your specific needs, desires, strengths, and challenges. Vive le français !

I have had the pleasure of being Gordon's friend and colleague for over four years now. His impeccable French and lively spirit make him a wonderful teacher.
I first met Gordon several years ago when we were both enrolled in a graduate program in French and Francophone Studies at Louisiana State University. As a teacher, Gordon is highly competent, creative, and attentive to detail. He has frequently substituted for me and tutored students who desired additional support. Students routinely compliment his patience and thorough explanations of subject matter, appreciative that Gordon is willing to explain material in multiple ways. Gordon also has an extraordinary mastery of his content area, with near native speaking and writing abilities in French. Thus, his analytical skills, intellectual agility, and sensitivity to linguistic nuance make him an adept translator/interpreter and editor. My writing has personally benefitted from his keen eye for detail as well as his thoughtful "big picture" questions.
I worked for three years as a French instructor in a major public university, alongside Gordon. As part of my duty as an instructor, I observed him teach on numerous occasions and attended many meetings with him. Gordon's French skills are outstanding (I am a French native speaker myself), the best I have ever witnessed at this university. Organized, rigorous, and patient, he is a dedicated and creative teacher, always available for his students and he strives for nothing less than excellence. I recommend him without a doubt and I am confident that Gordon is everything one can ask for this position.

Rates can be tailored to the individual student's level, needs, objectives, and goals. Shorter-term sessions will have rates based on needs/goals for specific tasks (for example, a particular test or exam for students, brushing up on speaking skills before an upcoming trip). Longer-term, ongoing sessions can be modified to an individual student's overall goals and progress. Shorter-term rates are normally slightly higher than longer-term rates. Please inquire for details. I'm happy to work with all students to fit their needs and budgets.
