As a student who had always been interested in French language and culture, I knew I wanted to take my proficiency to the next level. I decided to seek out a French tutoring service to help me achieve my goals. I wanted to improve my French skills and excel in the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the Advanced Placement (AP) French language and culture exam.
With the help of my tutors, I was able to achieve so much more than I ever thought possible. I was able to achieve the highest level in the Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française (DELF), with a score of 95.5%. I also scored 800 full marks in the French section of my SAT and got a 5 in my AP French language and culture exam.
I was also able to participate and win a national French essay contest and got a $2000 scholarship from the University of British Columbia. I was able to audition and be selected for a francophone journalism program called Jeuninfo, at Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, where I self directed a program in French that was broadcasted on national television.
I am so grateful for the guidance and support of my tutors. They helped me turn my passion for French into a reality, and I couldn't have done it without their help. They pushed me to work harder and to believe in myself, and it paid off in the end.
