Personal Statement

My name is Soraya, I am French with Spanish origins, fluent in both languages. I am also a highly experienced tutor with a sense of humor! I believe that learning should be an enjoyable process, even when preparing for exams. Efficiency and fun are both key to me.

My tutoring/teaching method: It is based on my student's needs and personality. We establish goals together, and I put a plan of action in place, providing learning materials if needed (Alter Ego books for beginners, exercises, ...

Reviews

I was able to turn around my grade from an F to contending for an A. I wouldnt have been able to do this without her, I couldnt recommend Soraya more. Thank you so much!

Soraya had been tutoring my 12 year old son in French and has been wonderful. Great use of the time, patient, and he has said he understands what he is learning so much more after working with her. Highly recommend her!
- Becky W. from Libertyville, IL
Soraya was very prompt and flexible in coordinating a session when my 15 year old son needed help right away. When the session was completed, he said Soraya was ?better ? than his teacher he has in school and feels confident that he will do ok in his 4th year of French and alleviated his anxiety. He will continue to have sessions. So grateful we found her !!

My high school aged daughter was struggling with grammar in French 2. Soraya easily adapted the class materials to work with her in the first lesson. My daughter, who was resistant to working with a tutor, was so relieved, she asked for weekly sessions!
- Katie R. from Folsom, CA
Soraya has been teaching me etre and avoir, formal and informal greetings, numbers, days of the week and verb conjugation. She is great with adults learning a new language. She engages her students in every lesson she teaches. She makes learning French fun and easy. She is a phenomenal tutor.
- Yukiko L. from San Mateo, CA
Soraya is an amazing tutor. She?s been a difference maker in helping my son make his way through French and stay on track. Super easy to work with, flexible in scheduling and very helpful. She?s a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
- Kate M. from Medfield, MA
My son loved she made everything simple and made everything uncomplicated. Thank you so much Ms. Soraya. My son looks forward to French lessons now. I hope that will surely help with the grades
- Shreedevi D. from Bothell, WA
This was my first session with Soraya and I am so pleased. Soraya was fun and patient and quickly honed in on my level and needs and supported me to get back into French which I hadn't studied in over 30 years since high school. Her sense of humor and enjoyment, combined with her knowledge and written support (which I downloaded after the session so I could review) makes her an exceptional tutor!
- Christopher P. from Wellesley Hills, MA
Soraya and I spent our first lesson gaging where I was in my knowledge of French. It felt very personalized. Soraya was very friendly and engaging, and the time flew by. I'm looking forward to our next session!
- Blair E. from Bloomfield, NJ
Soraya was super easy to talk to-- and reviewing the notes she gave to me after our lesson was finished was also really helpful. I highly recommend her, especially if, like me, you are a timid speaker!
- Kristin V. from Mystic, CT

- Elham D. from San Jose, CA
Working with Soraya provided a great practice for speaking and she was very helpful for correcting pronunciation, conjugations, and providing concepts for speaking correctly.
- Jennifer B. from Hastings, MI
Our daughter started taking French in high school this year and had been feeling like she didn't like the language. After her first session with Soraya, she told us that she could see that she did actually like learning French, it is the way she is being taught at school that she doesn't like. Our daughter looks forward to her sessions with Soraya and is already feeling more confident and happy about learning French.
- Farrah L. from Walnut Creek, CA
My son has been taking lessons with Soraya for a year and a half. His desire is to master the French language beyond what he is learning in school. Because of Soraya he is skipping an entire year of High School French! She is flexible, highly organized, and motivating. I can?t say enough positive things about her and am so happy to have connected.
- Natalie B. from Pittsburgh, PA
Engaging, excellent at pinpointing specific areas of weakness and providing excellent feedback and resources. It can be intimidating to begin lessons even In a digital setting. Soraya makes the student comfortable and her experience with all levels of French study makes the experience highly personalized to each student.

Soraya tailors the teaching to your objectives and needs. She's encouraging and super with communication. I'm an adult just learning the French pronunciation and she's made it not intimidating and fun! I'd highly recommend Soraya.

Soraya is knowledgeable, attentive and pleasant to work with. She was thorough in her assessment to help customize a learning plan for our daughter. We highly recommend Soraya as a French teacher to take your language learning to the next level. Thank you!
