I was a substitute teacher for Elkton High School, during the year 2006 and 2007. I taught French I - IV and other courses as required. I taught Italian and French at two community colleges from 2004 to 2006. I have also tutored French and other subjects since 1998 in France and the United States. I like to use a lot of visual supports, use scenarios or puppet shows (for young children) to have interaction in the language. As a native speaker I easily improvise when the student(s) show a specific interest. The culture is also very important to have a better grasp of the language. I always try to show students cultural aspects or differences while teaching.

I enjoy helping people learn something new. I think anyone can do anything they put their mind to. I would allow the student time to get to know me so they would feel comfortable with me. Students sometimes feel too vulnerable to try things when they don't know someone because they do not want to make mistakes. I would let them know that the only way to get better at something is to make mistakes so they can learn from those mistakes by making the appropriate corrections. Confidence is key. Positive work ethics allow me to help and give students the confidence necessary to complete anything put before them. Graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism has given me the easygoing background to educate others in writing and reading. I am always the person asked by friends and family when they are not sure how to spell a word or if they need something to be proofread. I enjoy reading an

My tutoring career began as an honors research student in college. I shared my skills and passion for French and history in plain and easy to grasp concepts that even helped "non-language" types to succeed. Furthering my foundation in teaching methods I pursued my Master's degree in teaching a second language while serving as a graduate. I accepted a fellowship to teach middle school and high school on the French speaking island of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean for one year where I taught English conversation and American Culture. After returning to the United States, I taught high school Italian and am currently teaching 7th grade French. I believe that a solid and rounded education is the foundation for any society and that education begins with an individual. This belief drives my number objective: to teach to the student. For me, it means recognizing the unique abilities and personalit

My greatest desire to is to work with others in a compassionate, empathetic manner. I believe that providing any assistance first begins with deeply listening and relating to the needs, concerns and hopes of another. Just as personalities and interests differ between individuals, learning styles can greatly vary. My goal as a tutor is to identify with each client and work together to achieve the best and most enjoyable lesson plan. I feel that I have succeeded when learning becomes a fun, interesting endeavor for both the student and tutor. I have always been a lifelong learner, and I see tutoring as an extension of my desire to consistently review and engage with all academic material. The liberal arts education that I received at Scripps College set the standard to appreciate and learn a variety of subjects. I received two bachelor degrees, BA in Art History and BA in French, but

As a scientist with almost ten years of research experience, I can explain how science is done and why. I have writing, editing and teaching experience. My social skills and my propensity to think outside the box are valuable tools to communicate with people and explain difficult concepts in an original but clear way.I have teaching and mentoring experience as tutor for undergraduate students, supervisor of MRes and undergraduate students. I think the teaching job is made of passion, guiding students through learning process and presenting all materials they need. Chemistry is essential in my life and I believe everyone

As an educator, my understanding and approach to learning comes from placing myself in the perspective of the student. Therefore, student's opinion on coursework needs to be heard in order to create effective learning goals. I believe this will increase a student's motivation and connection to the material. Connections, which are endless and create concrete understanding for students. I am very passionate, easy going and understanding of students. Although, I set the highest expectations because I believe the student can achieve them. Each student can succeed and they will. The University of Delaware has integrated me into the education field with a variety of experiences. I will earn my degree in May of 2011, becoming certified in Elementary Teacher Education and Middle School Social Studies. Over the past few years, I have strengthened in my ability to work with students of diverse nee
