Sam L.
Private tutor in Vancouver, Canada
Education
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in English translation, and an associate degree in Sociology, with an emphasis on culture and education, from the French university of Aix-Marseille. I then studied cinema for a year, before moving on to a distance learning Master's degree in English culture and literature, with the French university of Clermont-Ferrand. I'll be pursuing a Master's degree in Creative Writings next year.
Experience
I have been tutoring students, from kindergarten to college, ever since I was eighteen, in a variety of courses, including French, English, writing, sociology, philosophy, and history. I have helped high school kids pass their baccalauréat, the French end of high school exam, without which students cannot go to college. I have also helped college students with their college exams. I had my baccalauréat at age 16, instead of 18. I'm a smart, kind, dedicated person, and I love to see my students grow and evolve, and be a part of that change. I had some amazing teachers in high school, that have helped shape me into the person that I am today, and I would like to return the favour by helping students. I always do my best to adapt my teaching to the student, as I profoundly understand how challenging learning can be. I also work well with people that suffer ADHD, or other disorders. I do not wish to just teach a course, I aim to help my students grow, and get a sense of their own worth. As a French native speaker, I have a keen understanding of the French language and culture that non natives could not provide.

Hobbies
I have many hobbies, one of the biggest of which is writing. I aspire to become a writer some day, and you may visit my writing blog if you want to get a taste of my writing abilities: https://samswordsandworlds.wordpress.com/ I am also athletic, and practice horse-riding, Krav Maga, snow-boarding, and I hope to be able to get into parkour soon. I love reading, listening to music, watching TV series or movies, playing video games, anything that can send my imagination run even wilder.
