I graduated from my Master´s at West Virginia University in May 2010. Spanish Literature is my main area of concentration and Linguistics is my second area of concentration. I am a native speaker of Spanish but I am also fluent in German, English and French. I graduated in May 2008 with my bachelor’s degree in Translation and Interpreting at Universidad de Valladolid, Spain. During this period, I studied abroad for four semesters in France and Germany, and also worked as an English instructor. My philosophy of teaching has been built upon my personal experience as a student, upon my theoretical education in Second Language Teaching Methodology class, and most importantly upon my teaching experience. For me, successful teaching of a second language implies: • Meaningful learning • Professionalism • Positive atmosphere in the class

I graduated with an MBA in International Business, started a career in Marketing Management and then got into International Education. A few years ago, I was given the opprotunity to teach part time at my alma mater. I taught assoiciate and bachelor's level students such subjects as Introduction to Marketing and Strategic Marketing. This unique experience strenghened my teaching skills. I then realized I had a talent and love for education. Also, as a native French speaker I was a French conversational partner and tutor for American students during my graduate years in Monterey California. Today, I would like to put my skills, experience and passion to work for students looking for basic or profesional French language training. I enjoyed teaching at an undergraduate level but I believe each student is unique and requires specific attention. My teaching style resort to interactive as well

As a recent graduate, I was highly motivated to achieve a level of quality in every aspect of my educational experience. I have earned my Associates degree in Computer Science and working on my BS in Computer Science, which has allowed me to gain an understanding in many areas, including math, science, communication, and English to name a few. During the last year I have tutored students in English, mathematics, and Spanish. I love teaching and helping others learn. I feel that anyone can learn, they just need to figure out what is the best way for them. I am easy to get along with, I love to help others. My goal is to help your child achieve the educational success they deserve. I believe all children can meet their potential. I feel it is best to incorporate things they love with learning how to do the most complicated subjects. It helps them to stay focused and want to learn.

I have helped tutor friends’ kids on math from little school to high school. I have taken math all the way up to Differential equations and feel alright tutoring up to calculus one. I do not possess documented experience from schools or other organizations. I am a very highly motivated individual that does not mind helping others. I also have experience in teaching or helping coach little league sports educating kids on how to play games correctly. I have also been an assistant coach and helped out at Clinton Community College with girl’s softball under the head coach. I like to teach using examples, either on a board to show a person step by step first. Then try to give the student examples to try to solve themselves. If this does not work I continue to breakdown a problem until we can clearly identify where the student is having trouble.

I am a recent university graduate with a bachelor of science degree in French Education K-12 (major) and a minor in German. I have completed one year of teaching in Howard County Public Schools in Maryland. I have been an active reading, math, and English as a foreign language tutor since 2003 and have completed various student teaching experiences. After completing a year as a teacher I realized that what I liked about teaching is the actual teaching part. Unfortunately for me, most of what was involved with being a teacher for me included tasks other than teaching, which was not what I had expected. I do very well with 1-on-1 tutoring and small group tutoring. The 11-15 age group is what I am especially interested in, but I have had experience with all ages from 4-25 years old. I have a lot of patience with students and passion for my subject (language), and what really makes me

I was the salutatorian of my high school class. I excelled in every subject, and was a member of the tutoring club. I also tutored my cousin, who has Down Syndrome, helping him with his summer school work, including literature, handwriting, math, and Spanish. I majored in Art at the Pennsylvania State University. I also took many different courses in Art and Art History, including drawing, painting, sculpture, and photography. My teaching style is very versatile. I think the best way to teach is to first assess the areas that need the most work, and then devise a simple, logical approach to help the student understand the material. Some students learn visually, others learn by repetition. It takes a lot of adaptation to make sure the student really grasps the ideas.

I pride myself on my desire to structure my lessons and my attitude in a student-centered way, and I am keenly aware that the true environment of my classroom depends on me. My philosophy of education is that the bulk of the weight rests on my shoulders; I issue the clear expectations, promote logical consequences, and then I practice what I preach. A firm subscriber to the philosophy that students must be given the opportunity to make their own decisions and that they must be able to see the logical consequence of those decisions, I operate my classroom knowing that teenagers need to feel like they have ownership of their lives. If I am organized, prepare captivating lessons, provide clear expectations, and promote logical consequences, my students will be the captains of their own ships and I will have played a role in cultivating more engaged citizens.

French was my favorite subject in school and it definitely is my passion. I now use French daily in my career but when I first started taking it in high school, I had no idea how far it would take me. I would very much like to impart the wisdom and skills that I have learned to other students and help them achieve their goals. I'm a very patient and easy going teacher but I believe in having a good vocabulary and grammar skills, mixed with conversational skills. Finding the courage to speak French can be daunting, and the only way to overcome that is to practice; something that does not happen often in a 50 minute classroom setting. I would also include phonetics, which is learning to speak like a native and that is the point after all! I have studied French for a total of 5 and half years in high school and in college. I double majored in International Business and French receiving

As a private tutor, I give lessons to students whose ages range from thirteen to adult, and whose level varies from beginner to advanced. I teach mostly conversational, and as we progress, I introduce basic grammar. Those who are already taking French in school or in college and need to come up to speed on their current curriculum can also benefit from my tutoring. I work with the textbook and help with the understanding of the lessons through various exercises. I am a French native and have been living in the Pittsburgh area for 18 years. I have been a French Teacher and private Tutor since 2000. I have been teaching or am currently teaching High School French (Levels 1, 2 and 3), High School Latin (Level 1), and Introduction to Languages. I also have experience in teaching French in Elementary Schools (all grades) and Kindergarten. I have implemented Summer Camps and After School

French is my official language, I have been speaking and studying French since childhood. I have a native fluency in French.

I was a fulbright scholar and earned my bachelor degree in teaching English with concentration on TESOL. I have taught as an assistant teacher of writing 101 at Indiana University of PA. Teaching is my passion. Everyone has a potential to learn something new. The success of learning is intrinsic to the social and cultural environment of the learners. Therefore, i believe that teaching should be linked to those factors in order to make it successful. It should relate to the

I received my MA in Statistics from the University of Pittsburgh in December of 2008. Since then I have been giving private lessons in statistics to undergraduate and graduate students. I also have given lessons in high school level algebra. Prior to going to graduate school I was a substitute mathematics instructor at Wilkinsburg High School. Prior to working at Wilkinsburg, I was the Apangea Learning Math Instructor for Penn Hills High School. While at Penn Hills High School I worked with students in subjects from basic math to college prep calculus and test preparation for entrance exams. I also have experience working with teenagers at three different summer camps, one of these camps being the Penn Hills YMCA. I am also a professional musician and a statistical consultant.

I tutored fellow students regularly in Spanish, French, and German all 4 years of college, as I studied in Europe and Mexico, and was placed in advanced college levels my first semester in college. In the garment industry I used Spanish daily with subcontractors. In the hospitality industry I was used as a greeter for foreign language conventions, and to interpret foreign language E-mails. I spent 6 weeks as a 3rd grade Spanish student teacher in college, and the students were sad I was leaving-they loved Spanish while I was there. I am a believer in incorporating 'play acting' scenarios as part of teaching and of breaking down sentences, phrases, and words that more deeply imbed the logic behind the way the language is spoken. Making the learning session interactive makes a world of difference in teaching a language, and I find that incorporating play-acting into a learning session

If a student is unable to understand my explanation of a word in French, I often switch to English so that he/she can understand. As a French teacher, I love speaking the language to my students wherever I meet them after the regular classes. I am always willing to help my students wherever they meet me. They are free to ask me questions on the subject. Learning does not end in the classroom. Having taught French for over 18 years, I have mastered the techniques of teaching the language. I always attended French Pedagogic seminars in order to acquire more skills in the teaching of this subject. I taught French to English speaking students and I taught English to French speaking students in my country (CAMEROON,WEST AFRICA) before migrating to the United States. English and French are the two official languages of my country because CAMEROON was under the British and French Adminis
