Voluneteers Needed

I am the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator for Clinton County. I have been tasked with planning and executing a ‘drill’ on February 26th, 2015 to test our ability to provide antibiotics to a large number of community members in a very short period of time.  10% of those community members must be any combination of the following: over 65, have a functional need such as wheelchair bound, English as a second language, hearing or sight impaired, or under 18.  Someone suggested that I reach out to you to see if any of the homeschooling families in the area would be interested in participating with their children.  Perhaps it could be used as a community service project, or as part of a science or health class.

I do realize that I am very early in asking about something in February, but a drill of this magnitude takes months of planning.  Please let me know if this is something that you feel may be of interest to your families in Clinton County.

Feel free to email or call me at the contact information listed below.

I look forward to hearing from you!

French Tutor Available for Private or Group Lessons

I'm looking to add more French tutoring classes this year.  I'd like to start some small groups.  My fees are $30 per hour for up to 4 or $40 for 1 1/2 hours.

For small children I would build vocabulary using 3 minute episodes of a popular French cartoon (Petit Ours Brun).  This is also available on You Tube.  I would also concentrate on stories, songs, and games.  I would be available weekly, biweekly, or even monthly, but would need a committment from all participants for the duration of the lessons.

You could plan 4 - 6 week sessions and then reevaluate according to your needs and desires.  For older kids, I could do a session concentrating on reading and sounds or we could work on building vocabulary and/or grammar, etc.  Another option for older home schooled children would be for everyone to come ready with questions and difficulties they are having with their own curriculum.


This would take place at my house in Plattsburgh. 

Private tutoring is available for $25/hour.

For those wanting background information.  My undergraduate degree is in French, my graduate degree is in teaching.  I am a NYS certified French teacher.  I grew up in Canada and took French from the 3rd grade on with advanced French classes in High School.  I was a teacher's assistant in a French school in Arizona for 4 years where the whole curriculum was in French.  I raised my own kids to be bilingual and both are currently studying in France.  I have worked as an assistant teacher, a substitute teacher, and an ESL teacher locally.  I have been tutoring French for 10 years.
