About Kimberly
Services for businesses, adults & teenagers. I take great pleasure in helping you build your bridge between cultures. You will receive skilled, tailored teaching to suit your language or communication needs, from beginner to advanced learners. Lessons are convivial, with attentive, real-time adaptation to learner styles and requests. I am a bilingual, bicultural, language coach, cultural communication adviser and simultaneous translator. Recently returned after 3O years in France, I was a teacher in 3 grandes écoles (the most prestigious schools of higher learning in France). Great experience in several technical fields and many other areas, great ability to create a customized course for you or your enterprise. I look forward to hearing from you with pleasure!
I became a tutor in writing skills for underpriviledged children in my early teens, then later tutored students at SJSU in essay writing and taught Vietnamese refugees survival English.
Bachelors degree in Lit, ESL certificate, extensive courses in linguistics with an emphasis on language acuisition tactics and cognitive processes. Special courses in technical writing and editing.

Meeting or phoning to establish his/her goals and desires.
Setting up regular times to meet, month by month, the month paid in advance.

All ages and all levels, however I'm most adapted to adults and late teens. In France my engineering students were largely between 20-26 years old, and the private sector students were generally between 30-60 years old.
I have well-developed skills working with beginners - patience, attentiveness, care given to provide them with learning tactics and insight into their learning process.
I am very creative and thorough at advanced levels.
Seek someone who will go beyond grammar and exercises and who can provide you with insight into the culture's communication codes, customs, value systems, relationships and way of doing business.
Inquire about their techniques for helping you improve your oral communication.
Ask them what they love about their work.
Tell them what you hope to acheive and ask them how they can help you to get there.
30-year anniversay in a local, 20-artist workshop collective. I loved the eclectic discussions with various artists.
I also loved seeing the Cirque du Soleil in San Francisco this year, we were transported into another world!
A local French chat group (causerie) once a month at a restaurant - it's like being back in France around a dinner table with 20+ friends and acquaintances!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
First of all, what would you enjoy being able to do/accomplish in the language?
What sort of interaction do you expect to have with the language/culture?
What skills do you hope to acquire?
How much time outside of lessons can you realistically consecrate to learning?
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
Kimberly is a gifted teacher who is able to impart knowledge of conversational and written French in a most enjoyable manner. Over the course of just a few months in Kimberly's class, I made more progress than I ever thought possible, while at the same time having a tremendous amount of fun in an informal and lively atmosphere. Whether a complete beginner or an advanced student you will find Kimberly's tuition to be a rich and rewarding experience.
It was a pleasure studying French with Kimberly. She is fun and engaging and quick to share her love of the language and of France. Kimberly asked us for input on our particular ways of learning and she was eager to adapt her teaching methods so they worked for the class. Each class session was full of learning and we worked hard to master the French language. I can easily recommend Kimberly as a fine teacher.
Kimberly is a great teacher. The classes are fun and students learn a lot about French culture and traditions. She is very flexible, and tries to adapt the classes to the students' needs.
The only thing that I should mention is that I think she should speak in French all or most of the time.
