French Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Altona, IL

I don't believe in giving a student the answers to their questions. Rather, I think it is important to help them find the answers themselves--understanding the process will enable them to perform on their own. For example, rather than editing a student's paper, I will go through it line by line and have them help me find the errors. I have a very strong background in writing. My experience includes my graduate research and thesis, news writing for a tv station, in addition to 6 years of writing for academia. I spent a semester in Pau, France and can tutor beginning to intermediate level students. I graduated with a 3.9 GPA in high school, college and graduate school.

Since receiving my bachelor’s degree in 2007, I have been involved in teaching students of all ages and backgrounds. I hold a certificate for teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) and am currently teaching in the Adult Education Program of our local community college. I also have done English tutoring for college students who wish to improve their English skills. I also tutor students in literacy and am working towards completing a certification in phonetic reading instruction. I believe that proficient language knowledge and use is crucial to a person’s career development and every-day communication skills. I enjoy helping students see progress toward their individual goals while at the same time making learning an exciting challenge and experience. I believe one-on-one tutoring can be the most productive and effective way to learn subject matter in a timely manner.

I love my subject and I try to inculcate the same enthusiasm to my students. I love working with children. I had facilitated in making the children to speak up the common words they use in day to life in a class room, thereby encouraging them to utilize the language. I had used audio, video & some visually aids to render the learning an interesting journey. I had also involved & encouraged them to discover the little differences in cultures (Indian & French) through the curriculum. In addition to teaching, I involved myself in spiritual activities in the school which was a part of the moral development of the children. I started out as a French Trainee at “Chinmaya International Residential School”, Coimbatore, immediately after I had completed my B.A. I had worked at the school for one Academic year (2004 -2005). I was teaching French as a Second Language for classes 5th to 8th. At A

I am a student-centered educator and I was known among my students as someone who was more than just an instructor because I took the progress of my students in class as my personal problem and took exceptional measures such as working beyond time and relentlessly motivating them to overcome their difficulties. I am an educator who helps students make it. During my training at INSE (Institut National des Sciences de l'Education), University of Lome, I had a two-academic year classroom teaching performance inturnship at Agbalepedo Public High school. Then, from September 1998 to February 2005, I taught French and English at ISTT (Institut des Sciences et Techniques du Tertiaire), a private high school in Sokode. I kept an excellent record of teaching performance till 2005 when I moved to the States.

I have experience teaching many different age groups, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, learning styles, etc. I know what it takes to learn, because I have done it before, and I take what I have learned and apply it to teaching. I am patient and energetic and I have a love for learning and teaching. I especially love to teach math, physics, and foreign language. As a graduate student at the University of Maryland, I taught Russian 101 to undergraduate students for two semesters. I also taught Russian 101 at the University of Virginia for two semesters as a teacher’s assistant. I taught English as a Second Language through Black Hawk College for two semesters, and I taught infants and toddlers at Best Beginnings preschool and child care center for 2 years and 5 months. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Russian Language and Literature, a master's degree in Russian Linguistics, a second m

My 4 years experience in the field of education allowed me to become deeply mindful of the crucial roles of the teacher and therefore always be sure my students profit linguistically, cognitively and psychologically. My teaching philosophy is based on the conviction that the students can learn and assimilate the targeted language effectively only by being involved in various situations of communication where they are provided with essential linguistic tools that they learn to manipulate in order to engage in a successful intellectual exchange in the targeted language. This process is subsequently reinforced by a permanent practice that enables the students to develop a higher level of autonomy. Following my graduation as the valedictorian of the class of 2002 with a Bachelor degree in French-Language and Literature, I was selected to join the branch of Science of Pedagogical Studies for

Teaching has always been my passion. To be equiped for that, I went to school and earned a BS in Sciences of education. This degree not only prepares me to teach subjects like French, history, math, but also it helps me to perform school administration work. I have also earned a Master's Degree in Leadership Studies from Lincoln Christian University which not only enables me to tutor but also to mentor. Because I grew up in a country where French is the language in which I did all my studies, I have mastered the language and spent the last ten years tutoring students in the language. My knowledge in the area of psychology of education helps me greatly understand that everybody has a different learning style. If everybody has a different learning style, teaching cannot perform in an uniform manner. It must be varied in order to meet every student's need. Being an educator I know some stud
