Grammar is one of my top subjects!

I have a Bachelor's Degree and Single Subject Secondary credential in Italian. I have tutored hundreds of students, from beginners to advanced, over the past 15 years. Since Italian is not my native language, I am especially adept at helping speakers of English approach Italian as a second language. I am native English speaking, fluent Italian, spoken and written.
Over the past 20 years, I have taught Italian to students of all ages and backgrounds. I have a Bachelor's degree in Italian and a secondary teaching credential from San Francisco State University. I love to help students gain an understanding of Italian grammar from an English-speaking point of view, or improve conversational ability for an upcoming trip. I am expert in English grammar as well, and have been published multiple times in local magazines, so I can help students of English with all grammar and writing qu ... read more

Educating students and helping them succeed has been a passion of mine for ten years now, both in the classroom and in one-on-one situations.

Maintaining a good GPA was something extremely important to me during my academic years both in high school and in college. This is why I believe that everyone should have the opportunity and access to improve a certain academic area through the help of competent tutors like myself. Having earned a Bachelor Degree in Social Science with a primary field in Sociology and two secondary fields in Psychology and Ethnic Studies with University Honors, have enabled me to gain a better understanding of the society we live in today. In addition, I have been an AVID tutor in high school, which is a program whose main goal is to prepare students for college. I have tutored high school students in Social Studies, Math, Chemistry, English and Spanish.

While I pride myself on being approachable, patient and easy going, I tend to approach teaching in a methodical manner. I believe that student's time and attention is very valuable, and warrants preparation and thoroughness. My initial approach is always to first assess a student's needs, goals, learning style, and accomplishments. Next, I pick a strategy to approach the needs of the student. For example, I might select a straight-forward text or document from which I could teach loosely, such as the book "With Good Reason". (It is an excellent text on argumentative methods.) Editing and reworking methods eventually becomes paramount. I am available to help students electronically. This is a style currently 'in vogue' at my university, espoused by my professors. Students can really benefit from the focused attention it can provide.
I am a natural teacher, and my exper ... read more

I am a firm believer that every child can learn by incorporating the "Multiple Intelligence" method in instructing and assessing a student's progress. I have always loved teaching and working with children. I treat each child the way I would want my own two children to be treated, with kindness and respect. I am very firm, but have been told that I am also fair, and nurturing. I expect that each child should work to his or her utmost potential and I always hold children accountable for their schoolwork. Watching their learning and personal growth not to mention their confidence and self esteem grow gives me great satisfaction and what makes teaching such a wonderful and fulfilling job.

I started teaching tennis to juniors at the age of 16. I enjoyed that very much. For close to 10 years I taught at a country club in Connecticut. During my time there I did not focus on winning, but our record went from 0-7 to 7-0. I attribute this to the power of positive teaching. After I completed Loyola University MD, I went into B2B Corporate sales, where I was successful, but my passion remained with teaching. Recently I was a PE Coach at a school, and I started an after school program for tennis and golf for the children.
My teaching style is modeled after the Princeton Method, which is the way that I was taught to teach tennis. The Princeton method focuses on the positive. So instead of saying "don't skip the hesitation for a period mark", I would say "remember to hesitate in between sentences".

I find the most useful way to instill knowledge is to reach that place where the student sees practical value in what he or she is learning. I always knew when the moment hit by the expressions on my students' faces. The students I taught were majoring in art and culinary skills, mostly. Consequently they saw little practical value in learning composition or understanding prepositions. I strived to help my students put theoretical classroom knowledge into context for the working world they would discover upon graduation. I believe in making abstract concepts become concrete applications that students can utilize in many areas of their lives.
