More About This Tutor...

I earned a B. A. in French at The U. of Tennessee & have begun work on a Masters in Linguistics at The U. of Memphis. I have tutored French since 2004, volunteered teaching English, & worked as an English language assistant in a high school in France. My experience has afforded me the opportunity of the responsibilities of preparing French high school students for the required national exam to graduate high school in France by organizing my own lessons in collaboration w/the English teaching staff, helping to prepare students for tests, to speak & write well in a foreign language (discussing many elements of phonetics, vocabulary & grammar), to successfully complete homework assignments, & counseling students on study skills.
I love teaching & working w/ children & adults. I believe that everyone is good at languages because we all use language all the time: whether it is writte ... read more

The role of the teacher is to be a facilitator. The teacher facilitates the students in making personal decisions as well as participates in discussions that affect society. The teacher also helps build a foundation in subject matter to help develop a lifelong appreciation and understanding of the world through different disciplines.
In May of 2010, I successfully completed my fourth year of teaching. Each year has been different. The children of today learn in many different ways. There has been a change in learning styles over the course of time. Some children may learn through hands on activities and modeling, while others learn through lecture. Regardless of the learning style, I have learned that it is my job to make learning relevant and meaningful to students.

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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas in 1980 with a BA in psychology. Hoping to go further with those studies, I took the GRA exam and planned to begin the Master's Degree program that fall. However, I was married when I was in college and by graduation, I found out I was expecting our first baby in the coming fall, so I laid those plans aside to be a stay-at-home mom , and once she was ready for kindergarten, I had researched all the school/education options thoroughly and decided with my husband that we should homeschool. Since then we have had 7 more children, with the last being born in 2000, and have homeschooled all 8 of them the whole time they have been school age. The oldest two are now graduated from college with Master's Degrees and one is a college speech/communications/drama professor and the head of the college drama department as well. The third oldes ... read more
