French is one of my top subjects!

I have studied internationally, in both England and France. I will be moving to Spain, to teach English, in September. I have 6 years of tutoring experience, with both high school and college students. I also have ESL teaching experience, and I will be getting TEFL certified this summer. I enjoy making language learning fun!

My comments on tutoring French : French is my second language that is required to study for all academic years from kindergarten till college

As any student who was looking at the future with optimistic vision, I gave all my attention to reach highest degrees of studies. I have gotten a BA in english literature which enabled me to get open to knowledge about all what concerns various subjects, be it linguistics, grammar, composition. these are essential tools that helped in shaping the style and the know-how-to-write. then i got an MBA at JWU. i tutored students in english especially students exhibiting difficulties in english.
Teaching for me is a sort of a key that we give to learners. with this key they open the gates of knowledge and imbibe all fields of wisdon and philosophy. I believe teaching is a big responsibility that we are burdened with.

More About This Tutor...

My philosophy is that education should be as individualized as possible because people do not learn in the same manner. For instance, some people are visual learners while others, like myself, are auditory learners. I strongly believe that educators should expose their students to as many fields and ideas as possible. For instance, when I am teaching, I prefer to instruct students on different topics- biology, culture and rules of the English language are particular favorites of mine. I also like to give ideas and explanations that are different than my own (when teaching abstract concepts, of course) so that students can formulate their own opinions.
I have recently graduated from Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island. While attending university, I studied various courses- natural science, social science, criminal justice, biology- but my true passion lies in foreign ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Being a mother of three adult children and a new grandmother, I adore children. Teaching Sunday School over many years has also brought me great joy. I also personally relate to a child's individual method of learning because I truly believe we all learn differently. There are no stupid or dumb children, only unique minds. Being patient, kind, and encouraging are only a few of my strengths, and I believe I can help any child reach their potential, even when they do not.
I have two adult children who have had learning disabilities while growing up, and fully understand a parent's frustration in encouraging their child over these particular hurdles. I have a BS in Business Administration and achieved my degree over the period of nine years while working and raising my family. In addition, I have volunteered as a Sunday School teacher over a thirty year period, teaching ages 2-12 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In the nine years of my graduate and undergraduate education, I have been a teacher, tutor and mentor. As an undergraduate, I was the math and science tutor for student athletes; I helped students to successfully complete Algebra I & II, Geometry, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. As a graduate student, I taught in both lecture and one-on-one settings, and was a mentor for 9 students. I have volunteered my time at science camps for middle school and high school students where I developed and led hands-on activities. In recognition of my passion for science and my teaching skills, I have been an invited lecturer in both high school and college courses. Outside of an academic setting, I worked as a private piano teacher for four years.
Education is invaluable and needs to be made accessible to all students. My goal as a teacher is to create an excellent environment for learning, ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have always loved teaching. I truly believe that everyone deserves a chance to learn at their own speed and capacity. I am extremely patient, easy going, dependable and very caring. While I was employed at the Hebron Senior Center, I taught our senior members French. The Center did not have a curriculum so I created one. I started with the alphabet, and then taught them greetings, introductions and French songs. In doing so, we interacted with all subjects learned; examples: pronunciations and spelling were fully discussed and used. I would like to be the one who will make a difference in all of my students’lives.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that every student can learn with proper guidance and a positive attitude. First, I get to know my student and then I find out what difficulties they’re having i.e. the need to learn at a slower pace or distracted by sports or other things? Using those answers,I develop a program that makes learning interesting. I encourage student participation,praising the effort they make. I thank them for coming to the sessions and putting in their time and effort, making my students feel that the subject matter is important. It continues to motivate them to achieve greater results. I try to demonstrate to them that learning this material will matter in the future and that it is building blocks and not stumbling blocks to greater things.
I received a B. A. degree in French with a minor in English. I have tutored two ESL students, one from Mexico and the other from Turkey through Liter ... read more

I have been a one-on -one paraprofessional at the elementary school level, teaching all subjects. I have also been a substitute teacher for eight years in prek-eight grade taching all subjects. I enjoy teaching all ages. I have found the most satisfying experience in helping a student reach his/her potential and see their self-esteem grow immensely as their academic achievements grew. Every student is unique and deserves to have the best education possible. This sometimes means teaching differently to one student than to another. There is no cookie-cutter approach.
I thoroughly enjoy teaching all age groups. I especially enjoy teaching language arts because this is a fundamental subject that is such a necessity in life. I have taught gifted and special needs students and find both to be exciting and satisfying. I raise to the challenges set for me and work diligently to ach ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to teach. I enjoy helping others learn new material as well as gain from them ways to cope with different learning styles and comprehension levels. I have experience with all age groups from 6-7 yrs to 18+ yrs. I exercise patience and understanding as I have learned that everyone's learning style is unique. I am an easy person to work with and I believe that one can learn anything with the right amount of care and dedication -- two main qualities that I strive to provide to each student.
I love working with numbers and figuring out solutions to challenging problems. Earning my degree in Computer Science has allowed me to do both of these as well as provide me with extensive knowledge about computers. It has allowed me to enhance my skills in both math and science. Since high school I have tutored students in basic math, Pre-Algebra ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

In the summer and fall of 2006, I tutored for the International Language Institute of Northampton, MA. I was a Wolof tutor helping students with a low to moderate level in Wolof prepare their conversational skills in my native language. Over the last years I have mostly carried out assignments related to the field of translation and editing, usually from English to French, or vice-versa. Last year I served as grader for a 19th century poetry class at my last institution (Brown University).
Patience and communicative intelligence are the two key essentials of a good pedagogical method. My tutoring experience was entirely based on enhancing my student's self-confidence and ability to speak without harboring any inferiority complex with regard to my native language. I always made it a point of telling them that it's a mutual adjustment process. I love working with children, because of ... read more
