Moving ahead!

I have recently moved to a new location in Kalamazoo, MI! I am now a French Tutor part-time, as well as a performing arts instructor for the city's Parks and Recreation program. I am very excited and enthusiastic about these new job prospects. I'll technically be a part-time entrepreneur, finding my own students to teach French to, and spending the rest of my time sharing my love of the arts with kids in the community. Things couldn't have worked out better for me.

My time spent teaching in France was energy well spent, and I am definitely going to miss my students and colleagues. I am happy to be back in a bigger city, and think that it will be easier finding students here than in a town of 4,500. But, unfortunately, the demand for learning French here isn't as important as is the demand for learning English in France. However, somehow I managed to find four students already, three in one family and one University student. I start with them in June. Until then, I'll be working Saturdays with the town's Parks and Recreation committee with Plays in the Parks. Tonight, I'll be organizing a few games to use with the students and some improvisations that they might enjoy.
