Intermediate French II
Barnard College

This half-Moroccan hipster moonlights as Dave-1—one half of the electro-dance outfit Chromeo—and educates students in the language of love by day. If that isn’t enough street cred for you, he’s the former music editor of Vice magazine, and his brother is the celebrated DJ A-Trak.

An illustrator, painter, and teacher, this talented multi-hyphenate likes to travel the world in search of artistic inspiration, and is a fan of both Garden State and Sufjan Stevens. Plus, he’s got a freaky side— if his artwork is any indication.
