More About This Tutor...

I have studied French for about 10 years, starting with classes in high school, and enjoyed it so much that I continued my studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My studies focused primarily on French literature, though I was particularly interested in francophone literature from Quebec and the Antilles. Following that, I went on to enroll in a unique program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Professional French Masters Program (PFMP). The goal is of the program is to combine French with a given area of concentration, which allowed me to continue honing my language skills while studying immigration. This culminated in a 4-month internship in Montreal, where I worked with Haitian immigrants in a community center. The experience was incredibly challenging but enriching, and I hope to continue working with French in the future.

You CAN learn, and I can help.

Audio, oral, and immersion techniques are my preferred method of teaching. This includes various activities with radio programs, conversation simulation, and learning to think on your feet in Spanish.
As a certified translator and an aspiring interpreter, the Spanish language is a major part of my life and I thoroughly enjoy sharing it with interested students. I received my degree in Spanish from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and have gathered a vast understanding of teaching methods as a tutor during my time there. It takes a radical approach to learning if one really wishes to speak a foreign language with fluency, and I have worked towards perfecting my methodology to achieve this for my clients.

More About This Tutor...

I try to understand the student first. Then I try to bring him/her to discover what I am trying to teach. I am patient and respectful of their personalities. My style is participatory, democratic. Together with the students we discover the meanings of what we are learning.
I have a passion for learning and I always make sure that people around me also discover it in themselves. That is the the reason why I am constantly around learning activities. I have been a tutor many times in various settings. I am at present a Level 2 coach in Track and Field from the USATF organization. I enjoy coaching since it is closely related to teaching. English is my favorite subject. I also tutored French for 4 to 5 years.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that mutual respect and understanding is fundamental to a student-teacher relationship. I take time to get to know my students, both to understand their personalities for the purpose of choosing a teaching style that would be more effective with them, as well as to let them know that I genuinely care about them and their success. Compassion, encouragement, and patience are three qualities that I believe are so important to removing the effective filter that a student creates within him/herself when he/she feels uncomfortable. Once that "wall" is removed then true learning and comprehension can take place and this is what I strive to do with each of my students.
I graduated summa cum laude with my BA and MA in Italian linguistics and while that seems to be a degree that is not very marketable in the field of general tutoring, I have studied other subjects at the graduat ... read more

I used to teach French to some couple in Janesville as well essay reading for students in France and Senegal. I learned French when I was 5 years old, and since then I never stopped. French is my native language and I am willing to share its beautifullness with the most people. I used to be the tutor of all the kids in my neighborhood in Senegal and I love it.

A Little Bit About Me...

I like to laugh, have fun, and create a comfortable environment for individuals to learn. It is important to have that type of space so as to ensure that students do not form a sense of anxiety when entering the room or when studying that particular subject. I love creating a variety of activities: group, individual, hands-on, problem solving, comprehension and reading, and activities where students have to get up and move around. As long as concepts and terms are rehearsed and relearned students will be able to store it better than if they learned it once and then move on to the next concept.
