French Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Bolivar, TN

After graduating from Vanderbilt University I taught 5th grade for 2 years while working on my Master's at TSU. I then moved to the Knoxville area and taught K until my son was born in 2000. We then moved to Wisconsin where I taught in various after school programs until my 2 children were old enough for preschool. I then went back part time and taught 4 K until my 3rd child was born in 2005. Throughout this entire time I tutored various children ages 8 - 15 years if age. My teaching style can best be described as varied! I believe that children learn in numerous ways, so as an educator it is my responsibility to provide multiple experiences - visual, oral, tactile, etc. A person walking by my classroom would see children smiling, working in groups, accomplishing projects, and would hear noise.

As a graduate from a small private high school (graduating Salutatorian) and elite college (graduating Cum Laude), I was afforded the great opportunity to work closely with both my professors and peers. The intimate settings and ongoing relationships encouraged dedication and focus. Complementing my BA in Business (Accounting/Finance) degree with a minor in Anthropology/Sociology enhanced my ability to understand and effectively communicate among personality and learning types. My range of experience spans from high school age well into adulthood and across many subjects, including, but not limited to, English, Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, French and comprehensive studies for the GED. My background in sociology and tutoring combined with my client service experience has provided me with a unique ability to understand and communicate across all age levels and learning types. Typic

My passion is teaching, encouraging, and motivating students. I believe that all students have the potential to succeed in life and reach their dreams and goals. I feel that education is the key to success. I am aware that not all students learn the exact same way. I am willing to adapt to each child's individual learning style whether it be hands on, visual, etc. I am very patient and understanding and my main goal is to help students improve their academic achievement. I'm hardworking, dependable, and responsible and absolutely love to see students learn and strive high. I received a bachelors degree from The University of Memphis in integrative studies in the fall of 2009. Upon graduation, I was required to complete two semesters of student teaching. Also, during my four years of college, I tutored three different students, one in reading and the other two in English. From August 2009

I have a very relaxed teaching style when teaching my children at home during their homeschool, but they know if they don't do their work, they won't get far in life, and so far, of my eight children, there are four that are out of homeschool and have moved on to advanced education. The two oldest have their master's degrees from college and the third oldest is a senior in college on the dean's list and on the tennis team with a tennis scholarship. The fourth oldest is a freshman at the local community college with a high GPA so far. I am loving but firm in my teaching style, and show my love for learning and knowledge, which can be a way to make children love to learn as well. I go over everything very thoroughly until I know they understand the idea/concept before moving forward. I try to make them think on their own, figure things out as they go, but when they hit a rough sp

In tutoring my children, it has become apparent that one on one attention is absolutely necessary not only for children to learn, but also for the instructor to verify understanding and progress made by the student. Necessity the school system alone can not offer a student,while it is the strength of tutoring. Tutoring provides the opportunity to find the right medium to convey information, in the manner most effective for the child or adjust immediately if necessary. This is what makes education so facinating and rewarding to me. As a native speaker, I offer excellent knowledge of all areas of the French language,and accurate pronunciation which is of particular importance when learning a foreign language. My understanding of the culture can offer the student an added dimention to the learning process. Additionally, the academic world is one I much enjoy and respect as proven by my out
