I am excited to be teaching French at Hillview Middle School! My love of French started in the 3rd grade on a family trip to France. I took my first French classes at Burlingame Intermediate School and continued my studies at Burlingame High School. During my semester abroad in college in Strasbourg, France, I decided to become a French teacher. I graduated from UC Davis with double majors in French and Sociology. I worked at the tourist office in Bordeaux before I got my teaching credential from Notre Dame de Namurs University. I have also lived in Paris and La Rochelle. I have experience teaching at high school and middle school levels. Before I came to Hillview, I spent 13 years teaching at Notre Dame High School in Belmont. I have led students trips to France and I enjoy traveling and cooking. I am looking forward to sharing my love for the French language and culture with my students.The best way to reach me is by email: akingsley@mpcsd.org. Please don't hesitate to contact me.
