Sharon
Experienced French Teacher & Tutor With Study Abroad Background
As a Louisiana native, I starting learning French in the 4th grade. I quickly fell in love with the language and culture and continued my studies for 15 years.

Meera
Psychologist with a Passion for Music
Hi, I'm Meera! I graduated from UIUC with a degree in Psychology (focusing mostly on clinical and community psychology).

In my time outside of classes, even throughout college, I did so many other activities to learn more about the world around me - piano, violin, Indian classical singing, Indian classical dance, track, robotics, Model United Nati...
