A Little Bit About Me...

I will adapt my teaching approach based on the needs and learning styles of the student - with language, I favor a practice-based environment, both teaching grammar and theory, but always putting the new skills in to practice with each session.
I have extensive knowledge and specialization in French language and English literature, with previous experience teaching both. I have worked as a teacher of English as a Second Language at two elementary level schools in Paris, France, as a private French tutor, and as an elementary writing/composition tutor. I am currently working on my final year to receive my bachelor's degree at Illinois Wesleyan University.

French is one of my top subjects! I have studied French for 10 years now and lived in France a year ago. I lived about 2 hours southwest of Paris and went to a wonderful international university for students studying French. There were students from 25 different countries in my program and I lived with a host family, so I was always speaking French. I am not teacher certified yet, but I have taken all of the required French classes. I have one teaching class left and a semester of student teaching and then I will be a certified French teacher for grades K-12. Last year I tutored a high school freshman and a high school senior in French. This year, I also occasionally tutor and review French with an elderly lady.

I am originally from Bloomington, Illinois and am studying French and Spanish Education at Illinois State University. I am in my fifth year right now since I have two teaching majors. I will graduate in May 2014. Since my Junior year of high school, I knew that I wanted to teach French. In 2012, I lived in Angers, France and studied at an international university named Universite Catholique de l'Ouest. I lived with a host family and absolutely loved the entire thing. I think studying abroad is one of the greatest things a person can do. I feel more comfortable teaching and tutoring French since I have studied it longer but I feel confident in my Spanish skills as well.
I will be certified to teach K-12. I believe that the earlier one starts learning a language, the easier it will be for them and the quicker they will learn. While I have recently tutored older students, I h ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 som ... read more

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 Studie ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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.
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.
