- 14 miles
** June 2017 Update: Please note that I presently work largely with students seeking extracurricular or advanced instruction in programming, robotics, and mathematics. I work with other students on a case-by-case basis. ** It's much harder to learn something when you don't care about the topic. That's why I've always approached learning as two step process. The first step is getting to the "hmm!" moment -- that moment when you realize that the particular topic you're studying really does m... Read more

Native French speaker to help you with your French.
- $75 / h
- Oakland , California ( 94610 )
- 20 miles
I was born and raised in a former French colony: Cameroon. Our school programs were the same as the ones in France. It means that our courses were all taught in French (Maths, Physics, Chemistry...etc). We spoke French before we started school. French has always been my other maternal language, besides my African language. The discipline needed to learn French and master it was the natural way to learn it. We memorized all the grammar rules, from the Primary school. I had a double-Major in... Read more
