About Galen
I developed a passion for French through literature, music, and cultural exposure, which led me to pursue a B.A. in French Studies and an M.A. in Applied Linguistics. Over 7 years, I have worked with learners of various ages and skill levels, focusing on building fluency, confidence, and cultural understanding. My teaching emphasizes personalized guidance, patience, and fostering a positive learning environment where students feel safe to explore and practice. I believe in making lessons interactive, practical, and relevant. By combining reading, conversation, listening, and cultural context, I help students develop comprehensive language skills that they can apply in real situations. My approach ensures learners experience steady growth while remaining engaged and motivated. Outside the classroom, I continue exploring French media, literature, and cultural content to keep lessons authentic and engaging. Teaching French is deeply rewarding because I witness students grow into confident communicators capable of appreciating and expressing themselves in a new language.

Learning French becomes more engaging when students are encouraged to immerse themselves in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar within meaningful contexts. My lessons focus on balancing structured learning with practical communication, helping learners speak confidently while understanding underlying language rules. Through dialogues, reading exercises, listening activities, and real-life scenarios, students develop fluency while enjoying the process. I emphasize clarity, patient correction, and steady skill-building to ensure learners feel comfortable exploring the language at every stage.
Beginners begin with simple phrases, basic grammar patterns, pronunciation exercises, and foundational reading passages to gain early confidence. Intermediate learners expand vocabulary, refine sentence structure, improve comprehension, and practice more fluid conversation. Advanced learners focus on nuanced expression, sophisticated writing, listening to authentic materials, and culturally relevant communication. Each lesson includes tailored exercises, constructive feedback, and encouragement that fosters continuous improvement and self-assurance.
My French lessons aim to cultivate students who are not only proficient but also confident, culturally aware, and curious about Francophone worlds. As learners progress, they develop independence, expressive ability, and an appreciation for French literature, media, and traditions. My goal is to make language learning meaningful, enjoyable, and sustainable for long-term growth.
