French Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Monte Rio, CA

This thought of Nikos Kazantzakis, Greek writer and philosopher has always reminded me of the tremendous love I have of teaching or tutoring: "Ideal teachers [tutors] are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own." Instead of admiring good thought only, I usually feel concerned doing something about it. Unfortunately, in my home country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the teaching/tutoring profession is not highly regarded, and so I did not go down that path professionally. My decision to go to law school to become a legal professional did not stop me from finding alternative methods of teaching or tutoring. While in high school, I was passionate about sharing the excitement of a good book to classmates; in addition, I was involved in m

I' ve been working for about 18 years with students from Kindergarten through 12 grade in the Petaluma Schools District in the city of Petaluma, California.

Nowadays, I am working at the High School level tutoring students in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Science and English. According to the need of the student, some students are fast learning, some are slow, this is very important taking in consideration because my philosophy is that "Everybody is able to learn", we just have different learning styles.

I was a French major, lived in France and have taught the language in both classroom and individual settings. I am repeatedly told by native speakers that I sound like one of them. I have been a dynamic, successful elementary, middle and high school teacher as well as college instructor of Art, English, French and History for many years. I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish. While teaching, I have always taken courses in the best practices of teaching as well as courses in subject matter content. I have tutored people of all ages, learning styles and needs in a range of subject matter, including testing; I ascertain how each student learns best to develop the most fitting, effective teaching strategies for them.

The French language has been one of my passions since I started studying it in high school. I followed this passion into college at UC Davis where I will receive my BA in French next month. I recently returned from a year long study abroad program in Lyon, France where I studied International Relations at the University of Lyon. I will also receive a BA in this subject. My French has improved tremendously and I am proud to say that I have mastered the language and speak it fluently. In Lyon I helped young middle school children with their English at an after school program. At first this was very difficult for me but I figured out the best way to effectively help the kids learn. I found that engaging the students using their own personal interests was key. For example, using video game or cartoon magazines to start conversation topics and to help with pronunciation, spelling, etc. Kids l

I feel I have a personal obligation to prepare and conduct courses that are intellectually engaging, informative, and rigorous. This requires that I prepare detailed assignments and examination study guides.I understand and appreciate my responsibility to provide students with substantive information and practical skills:such as critical thinking and writing…. I encourage a stimulating, safe learning environment to ensure that students are eager and comfortable about their participation. I treat students respectfully. I encourage a marketplace of ideas and always solicit participation . I do not teach at students. Rather, my tutoring promotes a dialogue about the language and how to use it everyday at every level.dents.

I don't have a professional experience in teaching. But I am willing to make the environment where I help people to learn Languages comfortable, pleasant, and not boring. I use different methods for different learners. It depends on the age of the learners and their interests. As a college student, I am very interested in achieving my highest level in my field,meaning to become a future translator and interpreter in English, French , and Arabic. I am fluent in French and Arabic. To me learning languages is not just a process of achieving the ability of speaking and writing them , but it goes beyond this level. It is also learning people's cultures and communities.Learning a language may also help understand, function, and adapt in other environments that are different from ours. During the last four years I tutored French and Arabic to kids, adults; professional and students.

I would describe my teaching style in terms of the activity, belaying. Slack is given to the rope at times so that the climber may advance, or traverse, the face of the mountain. When the climber feels tired, or incapable, the rope needs tightening so the climber stays secure. If the climber falls from the face of the mountain the taught rope will prevent injury or possible demise. I tend to give my students slack when I feel they are advancing in terms of curriculum, yet once I notice their tendency to rest, or falter, I tighten my teaching approach by using more straightforward methods so that they are not confused, or do not wear themselves out with struggle. This is all so they reach the top of whatever mountain they choose to conquer. My bachelor's degree in English serves as an example for the effort and time committed to education and a service to academia. I learned literary skil
