You will see many ads by former or current professors trying to make a buck on the side. They are terrible tutors - they spent their whole careers having students beg them for a better grade. I have spent my whole life learning how to explain the most complex concepts to absolutely anybody. You will also see many people touting a related professional position as qualification. Many of them got their positions through nepotism and cheating to get paper qualifications (Some are my former clients) and neither have a good understanding of the material nor do they explain things well. I have run this business catering to client's needs for over a decade now. My rates are due to supply and demand - I have a busy schedule full of repeat customers and their referrals. I have many paper qualifications as well, but they honestly don't tell you much. Help with a particular program also depe

A year ago, I had the honor of substituting as an Assistant Teacher with an amazing kindergarten teacher. I learned then that she maintains her respect and passion for her career by following this mantra: "I need to understand my students come to me in the morning having already experienced some kind of morning of their own at home. I don’t know what that morning was like, but I can tell when it’s been a bad one. I have to be able to engage each of them, no matter what their morning was, and welcome them to the safety of my classroom. I want each of them to feel safe here, so that they can be excited about learning.” To this day, I follow and believe that mantra and pledge to make it work in all of my educational efforts. In 2007, I graduated from Penn State with a plan of attending graduate school for Creative Writing. I was devastated when I received three rejection letters from school

Upon graduation from school, I moved to Guatemala, where I was an English teacher to Spanish-speaking students for a year. While there, I was able to work on both my Spanish and teaching skills. I have since been able to help English speakers enhance their Spanish proficiency State-side. I am currently working on my Masters in Counseling. Each student is different, so addressing how best to teach each one will vary. I have found that the key to helping language students learn is first finding what will motivate them to learn. Learning a new language opens up a whole new world to the student, one they have never known before. Building off of a student's extra-curricular interests- sports, music, art, fashion, or anything else- transforms learning a language from repeating verb charts to becoming more apt to pursuing his interests in an international way.

I believe engaging activities facilitate the learning process especially with regards to a foreign language. I also agree that assigning meaning to what a student learns is perhaps the most important aspect of teaching. As a teacher I strive to relate concepts to the student's life. Learning a foreign language can be the most rewarding experience for anyone because of the benefits it brings. In the classroom I do my very best to keep my students attention engaged and active in the daily lessons. I also promote daily checks of understanding so the student is able retain what they have already been taught. I have always enjoyed the Spanish language. As a Hispanic it is part of the culture in which I was raised and is also a point of pride for me. Teaching added a wonderful element to my life and since the moment I stepped foot into my first classroom I have thoroughly enjoyed working

I believe teachers have to use different approaches to reach a maximum of students' intelligences. The instruction has also to be interesting to captivate students' attention. It is also important to assess students' acvhievement regularly. I am a natiVe from France. I have been teaching since 1983. I started my teaching career in the French public schools, and continued in the States since 1989. I have a broad experience in the teaching of the language (elementary to HS). I am also an ESL teacher, and I have been tutoring students in several subjects over the years.

I know that learning a foreign language is a challenge for many people and takes a lot of commitment for everyone. I know what it takes to get from the point where you are struggling with a subject to the point where you are really enjoying the topic. All students are capable of reaching this point, it just takes a lot of practice, a little hard work and some fun. I will bring everything I have learned as a student and tutor to the table and will modify my teaching style to match the needs of the student. As a high school and university student, I regularly tutored other students in Spanish and other subjects, both professionally and on a volunteer basis. While I was earning my bachelor's and my master's in Spanish, I gained the skills required to help other students reach their foreign language goals. I was paid by George Mason University to tutor college athletes in Spanish. I ha
