Believe in yourself, and you are half-way there!

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I love being able to help students feel comfortable with the material they are studying. I have tutored numerous times throughout college, and would like to get back into tutoring students because I find it to be rewarding. As a student who went from living in Germany and being taught that there are many ways of getting the right answer, to moving to America where everything is taught in one way, I have learned to incorporate my tutoring skills to the need of each individual student. I try to figure out what works best for every individual and help them focus on their strength and improve their weaknesses.
My teaching style depends on the student. I am comfortable with trying different study methods in order to figure out why my student is having trouble with a particular subject.

I enjoy teaching and I love languages; language and culture are two sides of the same coin. I believe everybody can learn, but each in different ways. I'm told that I have a way of making people curious and eager to learn, not limited by the ability to transfer my own passion and fascination for languages to others. I am available to help your child find academic success. I believe in a "natural way" of acquiring ability to speak and internalize another languages. I have found that connecting and integrating the real world, actual situations and happenings in the teaching process is preferable and beneficial.
I have a bachelor’s degree from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, (major subject: Social Anthropology). Other university subjects are Sociology, Media/Communication, Literature and French. I am well read and I have a wide spectrum of interests. Since the late 80’s I ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy teaching and have learned that the best way to teach is to listen. I have great patience and find it a challenge to find"the" way to teach a particular student. I learned much of this from my Father who taught for 40 years at college level.
In my job I have been teaching my clients for 30 years. While I hold a BA in American Labor History, I have a deep knowledge base of Central Asian, Near East and Asian history obtained from business experience. While my clients have been adults I have tutored children on an informal basis when asked.

After getting my high school diploma with honours in France, I earned a MA in Political Sciences and a BA in English literature. I Upon arrival to the USA, I tutored young children (ages 3-10) in French as part of after-school programs for a year. I would like to tutor students of all ages in French as my native tongue but I can also tutor children in reading, history, philosophy.
I believe that I can communicate my knowledge of French being my first language to all children. I try to work with the primary teacher's lesson plan and I believe in proactively going over the lesson, anticipating questions and reviewing the points which can be difficult to understand. I am patient, easy going and considerate because I want the children to feel comfortable to ask any question.

More About This Tutor...

I have two daughters, two years apart, but only one grade apart. They both do very well academically and embrace the process of learning. At home we focus more on learning and how to search for answers than on simple memorization. I have found that this has given Emma and Claudia an advantage over their peers, as neither are "hung up" on what they remember, but focus on how to use what they've learned and to apply it as a tool in learning increasingly challenging and rewarding concepts. That written, the paths they travel in the searching/learning process are very different and a reflection of each personality. I am very tolerant and have found that appealing to a child's sense of humor is a very important first step to putting them at ease. Temper this encouragement with a consistent standard for success, I have found that all individuals rise to the challenge. Lastly, I strive t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I will fit my teaching to the client. If a student learns with visuals, I will use visuals. If a student is an aural learner, I will cater to that side. I am very flexible and take direction very well. I have taken a year or more of each language I am qualified to tutor. The languages are Italian, French, German, Spanish and Latin. I also lived in Italy for a couple of months, in the Northern region. So I have real world experience speaking the language.
I have recently graduated from Purchase College with an Undergraduate degree in Music with a minor in English. During School I tutored students in English composition and edited students essays and papers during the entirety of my undergraduate education. I have also taught voice and music theory to students privately. In High-school I scored a 97 percent out of 100 on the English regents exam. I recently received a full ... read more
