French is one of my top subjects! Qualified, Franco-American to work with all levels of French, from Middle School to college and beyond.

I am certified to teach French and Spanish, 7-12 in New York State. I have over thirty years of teaching experience in both public and private schools, as well as religious schools and boarding schools. I am a superior one-on-one instructor who guarantees results! I have prepared many adult students for living and studying abroad, as well as preparation for job promotions. I like to work with the home school community. I have brought failing students of French and Spanish to a level of high performance and have been able to change attitudes from "I can't learn this...to I want to TEACH this!".
My one-on-one approach is to first assess the needs of the student, and then I tailor the lessons to meet that student's specific needs. There are many reasons for wanting to learn a foreign language, or to improve existing skills. One sole approach does not meet the needs of every st ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

One of the things I enjoy more than anything is helping someone to understand not only the specific principals of the subject matter, but the WHYS and WHEREFORES so that as that student encounters real world examples he/she will quickly be able to adapt and be successful. I am a patient teacher who "has been there" and wants to help anyone I can.
I have been working as a company CFO and VP Finance in excess of 40 years. There is virtually nothing I do not know regarding accounting and finance. This will provide students with real world experience as well as the principals required in a course study. I also have expert experience in Excel and Word. In addition, during this time I have been instrumental in tutoring employees who have worked for me. This numbers in the hundreds over the years. I no longer work full time and am highly motivated to help others in my chosen sub ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I began my teaching career in Cooperstown, NY in 2001, as a mid-career professional in search of a meaningful job. Previously, I worked in the entertainment industry. Seeking to make a difference in the lives of our children, I moved to Los Angeles to teach English to the children of Latino immigrants. It was the highlight of my teaching profession. Subsequently, my husband and I relocated to NY state where I have been teaching high school (all subjects) to emotionally challenged adolescent students. I have taught and tutored most academic subjects.
I teach to my students so they can learn. Each of my students has a different modality of acquiring and retaining information, so I assess that style and present instruction in a way that is meaningful. My work towards a master's degree in special education highlighted the various ways in which a student gains knowledge. I use that ... read more

As I read the example noted below, I hear an echo, YES, I too love to teach. I see myself as a mentor. Listening and watching how people learn, what they need to know and formulate the best way to establish a program to achieve their goals. Each individual possesses their way of learning that may be derived from their environment, culture, family or a combination. Whenever possible I try to use diverse medias to experience topics from various views stressing constant feedback to assure comprehension is taking place. Helping individuals advance to the next step by learning is my passion. My mantra is Inquire, Inspire, Educate.
After graduating college I taught elementary K-8th grade in NYC. I taught for one year and decided to live Paris, France teaching English. I lived in Paris, France for 1.5 years then moved to Rome, Italy, again teaching English. My experiences were wonderful a ... read more

As a graduate, I have been working with children with special needs for 10 years. I also did some french immersion teaching for the same amount of time. I have always thought in elementary school. In addition, I have learned extensive computer skills with Macintosh Base. I speak French and English.

I love working with children. I was involved in girl scouts from first grade all the way to 12th grade and in those years I learned a lot of leadership skills. I am very patient and want to provide education to anyone that needs it. When I was in school I often struggled with school work, so I learned many different techniques to learn how to learn.
While I was an undergraduate, volunteering was very important to me. One of the places I volunteered was an after school program for children who live in Hamilton Hill. While I volunteered there I helped many of them with there homework as well as extra reading and writing to help improve those skills. I found that my psychology major as well as my education and english minors were very useful and helpful to help tutor in all subjects.

I enjoy teaching children of all ages and adults. I am patient and a good listener and can zoom in on what a child needs help in. If a child has difficulty grapsing some concept, I believe the teacher can slow down and tackle whatever problem the child is having by using an understanding and nonjudgmental approach.
As a graduate of the State University of NY at Albany, I am very interested in helping others learn. I hold 2 degrees, BA in English and MS in Education/English s a Second Language. I taught school for 4 years and after many years of working in administration, I would like to tutor students in English and mathematics.

I like working with children of all ages. I have been providing extra help in Spanish since I was young and have continues until today. My charisma and patience are two aspects that I think help me when tutoring. I love sharing my enthusiasm of the two languages with others and encouraging students to be open to learning new languages as well.
With a high interest in foreign language, I decided to pursue a double bachelor's degree in Spanish and French. Having studied abroad four times, twice in Mexico, once in Costa Rica and one in France, I feel like my proficiency in both is at a level where I would be able to tutor many levels. I have been tutoring for the past four years, and I would love to continue in this field.

Practiced for years as an attorney for NYS. Semi-retired now. I have also been a tutor with the Literacy Volunteers of America (LVA) in Albany, NY. I met with a Korean graduate student at U. Albany and helped him learn English. I am also able to help in foreign language tutoring with German and French.

A Little Bit About Me...

I spent several years in my last job role developing and implementing a training program on budgeting, cost reporting and government compliance for low-level fiscal staff working on community service providers in New York City; often English competency of these staffers was low. I greatly enjoyed this experience that demonstrated my outstanding ability to teach and relate well with those often not of my same ethnic / cultural background. Throughout my career I have provided instructional guidance to others.
My 20-year career experience includes competencies in all phases of accounting and financial analysis, auditing and risk assessment, and general / entrepreneurial business management. I'm highly competent in developing financial reports, analyses and internal controls from past business leadership and management roles, and have experience using wide range of accounting inform ... read more

I received a technology degree in 1975. Several years later I returned to college to persue a Physics/Mechanical Engineering Degree from SUNY New Paltz and RPI. I was an "A" student in Physics and enjoyed tutoring many classmates. I was a guest lecturer several times at RPI. Due to work and family commitments I did not complete the degree. My wife and I homeschooled our children through the primary grades. I taught sciences. While an Employee at IBM, I wrote and taight technical courses. Physics is my forte and I love talking about and teaching the subject. I am especially helpfull to students challenged by word problems. Throughout college I would host study groups in Physics and Chemistry. I currently am a financial advisor.

I enjoy helping people to achieve their potential and nothing makes me more happy than to see someone learn something and get a good grade or to do the task on their own without any help. My style is that I try to let the student figure out the solutions to whatever problem they are working on on their own but I will be there to help them if they run into to problems. I will show at first what they need to do and know before I leave to solve the problem on their own. If the student really runs into a problem I will go over the subject thoroughly and go through the process with them step-by-step.
After graduating from Binghamton University, I worked for a short time as a bookkeeper. Then I worked for New York State for 25 years in the fields of auditing, internal auditing, and accounting. I performed a variety of duties while working as an accountant including supervising staff. As ... read more
