Italian Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Mahanoy Plane, PA

I have taught Italian for many years now, having studied in Italy,lived and visited there many times during the last 30 years. I am at the level of a native speaker regarding proficiency. I use a modern teaching method based on scientific evidence that children learn 60% of their native language by listening, 30% by speaking, and only 5% each by reading and writing. Learning should be fun, so although grammar is important, the ability to understand and be understood should remain in the forefront. Although grammar is important, languages are acquired overwhelmingly by listening (60%) and speaking (30%), whereas only 5% each by reading and writing. I view myself more as a coach than a "teacher", using a modern didactic method also known as accelerated learning. Learning should be fun, otherwise, something is not right, and I always try to find out what that "something" is. In the past 30

I tutored privately in French for many years and took my junior year of college in France. I then took my Masters Degree in Paris, France. I lived & worked in France for 5 years. I worked for Mack Trucks (then owned by Renault in France)for the French management and then Swedish management when Mack was bought by Volvo. There I taught corporate classes in French (3 levels). I also designed & managed a program called "Le Grand Echange", an exchange program for children of employees of both Mack and Renault. I also taught beginning French in the evenings at Muhlenberg College. Since, I have traveled abroad and have learned 2 new languages. I have tutored many private students in French, also Spanish, Italian and Swedish. I am a firm believer in learning the basics in foreign language. You must first build a foundation on which to place additional building blocks of knowledge. I use a co

My love of mathematics began while I was in elementary school--I looked forward to those classes and took as many as I could from my high school, Wyoming Area. I had, at one point in middle school, helped to tutor some students in one of my classes. While in college at Susquehanna University, I had the priveledge of tutoring pre-calculus to local Selinsgrove High School students. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to share my passion for math with others. I believe anyone can comprehend math if given the right tools--learning math is like building a pyramid, you need the base to get to the top, and that is what I try to do, help these students grasp a solid base understanding of the topic. While at Susquehanna, I also participated in study groups to help other students in my classes. I try to tailor my style to the student. Each student I had tutored when I was in college I ha

As native French with excellent writing skills and strong bases in French culture and literature. My experience as an assistant in arts and crafts in French elementary school and a recent internship in foreign languages classes in French middle school helped me to build self-confidence in teaching French. My recent experience in one-to-one tutoring with adults made me confident in teaching French to adults as well as children. I encourage learning by using a number of different fun and immersive activities based on the use of real French documents. My goal is to make each lesson a mini adventure in the world of French culture.
