About Peyton
• This wasn't a weekend course. DLI is intense — strict standards, native instructors, no coasting through. Hitting a 2+/2/2 means my French got tested and verified, not just self-reported on a profile.
• I've already been teaching, not just speaking. While I was still active duty as a Marine, I tutored younger linguists coming up through the program — helping them work through the same material I'd just mastered, breaking it down in ways that actually clicked. That's where I really learned how to teach, not just how to speak.
• Lessons actually have a plan. No winging it, no random filler — every session ties back to your goals so you always know what we're working on and why.
• I'll tell you the truth. If something's not clicking, I'll say so, and we'll adjust. If you're crushing it, I'll tell you that too. No vague "great job!" energy — just honest, useful feedback.
• I show up. On time, prepared, consistent. Sounds basic, but it matters more than people think.
So whether you're just starting out or polishing something more advanced, you're working with someone who's had their French, and their teaching, tested under real standards, and who's already put in the reps helping other people learn.

Bonjour! I'm a French linguist trained at the Defense Language Institute (DLI), where I studied under native French professors and graduated with a 2+/2/2 score on the Defense Language Proficiency Test — a government benchmark reflecting near-native command of the language, well above typical academic French programs.
Beyond grammar and vocabulary, my training included deep cultural and regional expertise, so lessons go beyond textbook French into how the language is actually used — idioms, current events, regional variation, and cultural context that make you sound (and think) like a real French speaker, not just a fluent test-taker.
Who I work with:
• Adult learners wanting serious, structured progress (beginner to advanced)
• Professionals needing French for work or travel
• Students prepping for exams or proficiency assessments
• Anyone who wants immersion-style learning without moving to France
What to expect:
• Personalized lesson plans based on your goals and current level
• Emphasis on real conversational fluency, not rote memorization
• Cultural insight from someone trained specifically in French-speaking regions and their nuances
• Patient, rigorous instruction — the same standard used to train government linguists
Whether you're starting from scratch or polishing advanced skills, I bring a level of training and cultural depth that's hard to find in a typical tutor. Let's talk about your goals and build a plan that gets you there.
