I have noticed a couple things in my years tutoring people in math. I have noticed that many people have trouble with the fundamental concepts of fractions, decimals, order of operations, and adding/subtracting positive and negative numbers. If a student does not have these concepts together much of the 'higher level' mathematics can seem a blur and highly confusing. I have also noticed that students like real world or relevant examples when learning a new math concept. I like to find out what my student is into and tailor problems to things that affect their every day life. Practical real world examples can significantly increase a students retainment of concepts. I also make it a point to keep the learning environment positive and upbeat. I received my MA in Statistics from the University of Pittsburgh in December of 2008. Since then I have been giving private lessons in statistics to

French is my official language, I have been speaking and studying French since childhood. I have a native fluency in French. I have taught I many high schools in Burkina Faso (West Africa) and I have also worked as a English French translator for the Service of International Missionaries(SIM) in Ouagadougou(Burkina Faso). I have studied French from elementary to University level. I have a lot of experience in teaching. I was a fulbright scholar and earned my bachelor degree in teaching English with concentration on TESOL. I have taught as an assistant teacher of writing 101 at Indiana University of PA. Teaching is my passion. Everyone has a potential to learn something new. The success of learning is intrinsic to the social and cultural environment of the learners. Therefore, i believe that teaching should be linked to those factors in order to make it successful. It should relate to the

I am a recent university graduate with a bachelor of science degree in French Education K-12 (major) and a minor in German. I have completed one year of teaching in Howard County Public Schools in Maryland. I have been an active reading, math, and English as a foreign language tutor since 2003 and have completed various student teaching experiences. After completing a year as a teacher I realized that what I liked about teaching is the actual teaching part. Unfortunately for me, most of what was involved with being a teacher for me included tasks other than teaching, which was not what I had expected. I do very well with 1-on-1 tutoring and small group tutoring. The 11-15 age group is what I am especially interested in, but I have had experience with all ages from 4-25 years old. I have a lot of patience with students and passion for my subject (language), and what really makes me

I believe that every student can choose where he/she wants to go, as long as they are given the tools to acheive these ambitions. I have a heart for children and love watching their minds embrace new ideas and concepts. If I provide the patience, experience, motivation and materials, I hope that every student I have guided (or will guide) will go on to do great things. Working in a French public school taught me more patience than I thought I had. But in doing so, I am now prepared to deal with all types of children. If you show me even the slightest interest in learning, I'll coach you all the way! Let's learn together! I hold a degree in Political Science, but I concentrated in international relations with a fascination for other cultures and languages. Having lived in both England and France, I have been forced to adapt to new ways of thinking, speaking, writing and eventually

My teaching style is very versatile. I think the best way to teach is to first assess the areas that need the most work, and then devise a simple, logical approach to help the student understand the material. Some students learn visually, others learn by repetition. It takes a lot of adaptation to make sure the student really grasps the ideas. I was the salutatorian of my high school class. I excelled in every subject, and was a member of the tutoring club. I also tutored my cousin, who has Down Syndrome, helping him with his summer school work, including literature, handwriting, math, and Spanish. I majored in Art at the Pennsylvania State University. I also took many different courses in Art and Art History, including drawing, painting, sculpture, and photography.

I pride myself on my desire to structure my lessons and my attitude in a student-centered way, and I am keenly aware that the true environment of my classroom depends on me. My philosophy of education is that the bulk of the weight rests on my shoulders; I issue the clear expectations, promote logical consequences, and then I practice what I preach. A firm subscriber to the philosophy that students must be given the opportunity to make their own decisions and that they must be able to see the logical consequence of those decisions, I operate my classroom knowing that teenagers need to feel like they have ownership of their lives. If I am organized, prepare captivating lessons, provide clear expectations, and promote logical consequences, my students will be the captains of their own ships and I will have played a role in cultivating more engaged citizens.

French was my favorite subject in school and it definitely is my passion. I now use French daily in my career but when I first started taking it in high school, I had no idea how far it would take me. I would very much like to impart the wisdom and skills that I have learned to other students and help them achieve their goals. I'm a very patient and easy going teacher but I believe in having a good vocabulary and grammar skills, mixed with conversational skills. Finding the courage to speak French can be daunting, and the only way to overcome that is to practice; something that does not happen often in a 50 minute classroom setting. I would also include phonetics, which is learning to speak like a native and that is the point after all! I have studied French for a total of 5 and half years in high school and in college. I double majored in International Business and French receiving

I love teaching and helping others learn. I feel that anyone can learn, they just need to figure out what is the best way for them. I am easy to get along with, I love to help others. My goal is to help your child achieve the educational success they deserve. I believe all children can meet their potential. I feel it is best to incorporate things they love with learning how to do the most complicated subjects. It helps them to stay focused and want to learn. It makes me proud to know that I have helped a child achieve their goals and see the smile on their face knowing they did it! As a recent graduate, I was highly motivated to achieve a level of quality in every aspect of my educational experience. I have earned my Associates degree in Computer Science and working on my BS in Computer Science, which has allowed me to gain an understanding in many areas, including math, science,

Having taught French for over 18 years, I have mastered the techniques of teaching the language. I always attended French Pedagogic seminars in order to acquire more skills in the teaching of this subject. I taught French to English speaking students and I taught English to French speaking students in my country (CAMEROON,WEST AFRICA) before migrating to the United States. English and French are the two official languages of my country because CAMEROON was under the British and French Administration. If a student is unable to understand my explanation of a word in French, I often switch to English so that he/she can understand. As a French teacher, I love speaking the language to my students wherever I meet them after the regular classes. I am always willing to help my students wherever they meet me. They are free to ask me questions on the subject. Learning does not end in the cl

I enjoyed teaching at an undergraduate level but I believe each student is unique and requires specific attention. My teaching style resort to interactive as well as classic materials. Case studies, pronounciation worshops, in-context use and practice are key to successful teaching. I graduated with an MBA in International Business, started a career in Marketing Management and then got into International Education. A few years ago, I was given the opprotunity to teach part time at my alma mater. I taught assoiciate and bachelor's level students such subjects as Introduction to Marketing and Strategic Marketing. This unique experience strenghened my teaching skills. I then realized I had a talent and love for education. Also, as a native French speaker I was a French conversational partner and tutor for American students during my graduate years in Monterey California. Today, I would like

While studying at Bradley University, I worked with the CHOICES program tutoring local disadvantaged High School students in core curriculum: History, English, Math, Science, etc. As a French tutor, I volunteered to help my fellow classmates learn the French language. After obtaining my Bachelor of Arts degree in French and Spanish from Bradley University in May of 2006, I continued to provide educational instruction as an AmeriCorps KEYS volunteer. As a team of AmeriCorps members, we developed a grant-winning curriculum that benefited underprivileged youth, provided one-on-one instruction to struggling elementary students in Math and Reading, counseled at-risk youth, and taught lessons at a day camp for disadvantaged children. In addition to my service in AmeriCorps, my primary project as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ukraine was to teach English at a secondary school 18 hours per wee
