More About This Tutor...

Classical violin training, I believe, is more effective than Suzuki. In language acquisition, I can work with a student to simulate immersion in a foreign language, or create building blocks towards thinking like a fluent/native speaker.
Linguist, historian,violinist, and polyglot. I speak English, Vietnamese,French, German, and Turkish. Out of these languages I feel I can teach English, German, and Turkish. I am currently learning Arabic and Portuguese. I have experience with language acquisition and would love to work with you on whatever your language learning block is, no matter the language you are learning. As a professional violinist, I have studied for over 10 years and perform regularly with different groups throughout the area. I am a student of the Concertmaster emeritus of the Memphis Symphony, who studied under the late Nathan Milstein. I will also gladly tutor in the ... read more

Individualized Assistance

I have helped a number of adults & children improve in math, reading, writing and study skills. Generally a client should meet for three hours a week for best results. Tutoring in most subject areas at all grade levels from elementary through college is available. I can work with the student for the entire semester or school year, or I can help the student through a challenging topic.
Today’s fast paced school curriculum overwhelms an alarming number of students, essentially hindering their progress as a whole by failing to make sure one concept is properly learned before the next is taught. But I make sure that they are comfortable with each and every problem before encouraging them to move on to the next. This way they retain essential information that will adequately prepare them for review and lessons to come. They will be grateful to see an improvement in their grades and ... read more

If you don't use it, you will loose it. Speak often!

I have been speaking Spanish for at least 9 years. Both of my children are Hispanic as well as my husband. I have a God given gift for languages.I took three years of Spanish in high school.

To help a struggler in need!

I have tutored my little cousins with their homework before & also in summer camp activities with kids in general! I love to help out with anything I have knowledge in. I am a god writer who loves to write and also working on a novel currently. My strongest points are composition and I am very wordy when it comes to writing. I love to read in my spare time and my favorite subject is English still. I do know some Spanish as well. I am not looking to tutor in Math, as that is not my strongest field. i know some Biology as well.

More About This Tutor...

Hello! I am a full time ESL teacher that really enjoys the Spanish language. I lived in Mexico for a year and a half with Mexican families where I took intensive Spanish classes. Being submerged in the language and culture is the best way to learn! I studied Spanish in Costa Rica as well as took classes in undergrad so I have a good working knowledge of the language and enjoy passing my knowledge along. I greatly enjoy tutoring, am a great encourager and love seeing progress!

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas in 1980 with a BA in psychology. Hoping to go further with those studies, I took the GRA exam and planned to begin the Master's Degree program that fall. However, I was married when I was in college and by graduation, I found out I was expecting our first baby in the coming fall, so I laid those plans aside to be a stay-at-home mom , and once she was ready for kindergarten, I had researched all the school/education options thoroughly and decided with my husband that we should homeschool. Since then we have had 7 more children, with the last being born in 2000, and have homeschooled all 8 of them the whole time they have been school age. The oldest two are now graduated from college with Master's Degrees and one is a college speech/communications/drama professor and the head of the college drama department as well. The third oldes ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a graduate of Duke University, I hold myself to the highest standards. I have spent the last ten years as a manager, and as such I have led numerous training courses for both hourly and exempt associates. In the community, I have taught pro bono ESL classes to a predominantly Hispanic community. During the course of my undergraduate degree, I tutored individuals in history, psychology and english.
I enjoy teaching, and particularly teaching children and young adults. I am a patient, considerate teacher, and I am willing to review the materials as often as necessary to help the student succeed. I had the benefit of a nurturing tutor in high school, and her example has helped shape my world-view. I believe that remaining task-oriented and receptive to the needs of the individual are key to helping the student learn. No two students learn in the same manner, at least in my exp ... read more

I earned a B. A. in French at The U. of Tennessee & have begun work on a Masters in Linguistics at The U. of Memphis. I have tutored French since 2004, volunteered teaching English, & worked as an English language assistant in a high school in France. My experience has afforded me the opportunity of the responsibilities of preparing French high school students for the required national exam to graduate high school in France by organizing my own lessons in collaboration w/the English teaching staff, helping to prepare students for tests, to speak & write well in a foreign language (discussing many elements of phonetics, vocabulary & grammar), to successfully complete homework assignments, & counseling students on study skills.
I love teaching & working w/ children & adults. I believe that everyone is good at languages because we all use language all the time: whether it is writte ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a high school honors graduate with a BA in English and teacher certification in English, Spanish, psychology, and special education. I am national board certified in special education. I have tutored in Memphis, and have also taught learning strategies. I am retired and eager to find part time work.
I have worked with children of many different ages and backgrounds, and have learned something from each and every one of them. My hope is that I have not only provided them with academic instruction and learning experiences that will prove beneficial to them, but that I have also instilled in them a love for learning that will last a lifetime and people skills that will allow them to be conscientious, contributing members of society.

More About This Tutor...

My teaching style has always been "learner-centered". I've always checked first to see what the students' needs were and what their learning style was before I made lesson plans. I have found that if I find something the student is interested in learning and present it in a way that he/she likes, then the student is more likely to engage in the lesson. I've always used the internet as a resource to find the most creative ways of presenting otherwise boring information. I have also found that a lot of support helps the student in the long-run instead of a "sink or swim" approach. Also, the support helps with self-confidence and the student appreciates that the teacher cares and therefore the student cares about learning too. I have always felt that the student is #1, not the teacher and my students see and appreciate that.
I have been tutoring and teaching for many years now. ... read more
