French is one of my top subjects! BA in French Full immersion experience abroad

I have worked as an English tutor for elementary Egyptian students attending a summer program. I have been working as a student athlete tutor for French and the honors program for the past 2 years with varying levels of frequency. I have mainly worked with one athlete who is studying French.

I believe that students shouldn't feel like they have only one method to resolve some situations. It is important that the teacher let students know that there are multiple ways to resolve problems. I believe that students should be urged to think critically because having ideas is better than collecting facts. Learning how do things is better th ... read more

My comments on tutoring French : Fluent in French. Spoken, read, and learned French for almost 16 years. From a French speaking country

I have spoken, read and learn French for over 16 years. I can say that I have enough experience to be able to tutor or teach French. I lived in Madagascar where we speak French at age 3. I finished my high school year there. I came here in the United States in 2008 to get my Bachelor's degree. I took French Literature classes while in college.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught SAT prep courses for Kaplan Inc. since December 2012 and done a good deal of informal tutoring in Philosophy and French. I have a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy with a concentration in Neuroscience, and I also studied French for 7 years, including a semester in a language immersion program in the south of France (Aix-en-Provence), where I became fluent.
Very personal and tailored to the student. I have many suggestions about content and process of learning, but ultimately I want to give my students what THEY want and do what works best for them!

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that when a student does not do well in school, it is not because that student cannot learn. Different teaching methods speak to different students, and sometimes a student simply needs a fresh and alternative introduction to subject material. My job as a tutor is to find the teaching method that speaks most clearly to my student. By being patient, precise, persistent, and knowledgeable, I know I can help my student reach his/her academic goals.
My excellent writing skills, ACT score of 35, and passion for academics got me into Vanderbilt University, from which I acquired my BA in 2009. I studied every subject I could but found most pleasure in political science and sociology. In addition to these fields, I have expertise in grammar, essay composition, and a variety of creative arts. I also have teaching knowledge of the basic maths and sciences. Overall, I have about thr ... read more

My goal as a teacher is to be as effective as possible and motivate the student to reach their goals. I usually explain a problem verbally first, then demonstrate how it is solved before working on the student's ability to complete the task on his/her own. I find using contrasts effective since showing how things differ in their purpose, form or origin is often half the battle in understanding a lesson. This also helps a student understand and remember formulas. Math, science, and language all have formulas that can be applied to figure out unfamiliar problems and help check a student check their work and identify their own mistakes.
I gained appreciation for teachers at an early age. Over the years I have tutored students of different ages. My first experience teaching was teaching a little boy to read. I was surprised at how happy it made him to be able to learn this skill I love ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored for over ten years. I began this work in my undergraduate years at Mercer University where I was employed as a writing/grammer/ESL tutor through the university learning center. I also worked as a tutor through Mercer with the NCAA CHAMPS program for student athletes. While at graduate study at Vanderbilt University, I was employed as a teaching assistant. I tutored individual students on writing style and grammar for academic essays. I have tutored students in my spare time for years as a source of extra income and through volunteer projects.
I love to teach, and I have taught many subjects. I have worked with students in art, french, English, and art history. Each subject and each student requires a different approach, and I enjoy rising to this challenge. I enjoy witnessing my students' success. In college, I specifically tutored student athletes who were in da ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I began my French studies in my first year at Belmont and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to study the language primarily. After my first trip to France in the summer of 2007, my skills in the language took off, as did my passion for learning. I began tutoring other student athletes and other students at my university who studied French. After I graduated, I gave French lessons to two small children on a weekly basis. I have continued to study the language independently, and I founded a small conversation group that meets weekly.
Aside from my French degree and tutoring experience, I also received a minor in Elementary Education. During my years at Belmont, I worked with elementary-aged refugee students and learned the patience required to walk another student through the learning process. I also spent some time in the classroom, and learned even more to meet students whe ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have had the opportunity to work and help develop young minds for a few years. After college, I tutored full time at a high performing urban charter school where I worked on basic remedial skills with students. I have continued to work with young people to build confidence in their skills and improve their performance in school and on tests. I have tutored students from 5th grade through 12th grade, focusing mostly on math all the way to calculus and English.
I believe that the most important characteristic that a teacher must have is consistency. The teacher must develop a system of rigorous work with ample support. I believe that it is imperative to possess an in-depth knowledge of the subject which one teaches, not just be a few pages ahead in the book. In order to achieve this high level, I prepare meticulously for each session, reach the student on his or her level and help ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching because it gives me an opportunity to relate to my student/s and best serve their needs. I take the time to know each student so I can best address their learning styles, interests, and challenges in the given subject. I am patient, kind, and will elevate my student's level of motvation and performance.
As a graduate of both Tulane University and Middle Tennessee State University, I have two degrees, BA and MAT, both in French. In addition to all of the challenging coursework and extra-curriculars, I also tutored students from the 7th grade in Algebra, Geometry, and general Mathematics all the way up to adult French learners at MTSU. I have addressed various courses in mathematics, Spanish, and French in my tutoring sessions. Currently, I am training with Kaplan to teach pre-college and pre-graduate school testing preparation classes.

I firmly believe that teaching is about making meaningful connections that empower others. Therefore, I always try to first establish a comfortable rapport that is conducive to open communication. I then will determine the student's strengths/weaknesses and areas of highest interest. This allows me to develop individualized lessons that will be highly engaging and most effective at meeting the student's needs/learning goals.
Teaching has always come naturally to me. As a young teenager, I began helping younger siblings and neighborhood kids with their homework. As a mental health professional on an Adolescent Psychiatric Unit, I discovered that educating patients was far more empowering than implementing conventional Rogerian counseling techniques. In 1998 I began designing/facilitating classes on impulse control, assertiveness, and anger management. Ever since I have been t ... read more
