      • Oct 2021 - May 2022

      As an English language assistant, I taught French secondary students (collège and lycée) about Anglophone writers and artists, American culture and holidays, important historical events in Anglophone countries, and nuances of the English language. My teachers either divided their classes into groups, allowing me to take half of the class each week, or kept me in the classroom with them to serve as an aide. This experience taught me how to manage classrooms, connect with students, create lessons for different language levels, and effectively articulate ideas in French and English. Show less

      Working at a secondary school in Versailles gave me an invaluable introduction to teaching English as a second language. I planned lessons, activities, and discussions for students of different language levels, collaborated with teachers on joint lesson plans, and improved my French proficiency.
