French Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in South Deerfield, MA

I have earned a Bachelors Degree in History which has enabled me to gain understanding in many areas of sociology and geography. In addition, I'm a native Portuguese speaker and am able to understand, speak and read, Spanish and French. During the last 3 years, I have tutored students in Portuguese, Spanish and French and assisted elementary students with their homework assignments. I enjoy teaching and working with all children. I have been a Substitute teacher in Hampden County, MA and most recently worked as a Counselor for a group home in which the children needed support on a daily basis with their schoolwork. What I have gained from these experiences is that any child can succeed with patience and with the right resources. Striving to make a difference in a student's life is a goal of mine and I welcome the opportunity.

I have over 15 years experience in the Accounting field as well as have owned several successful businesses in the IT industry of which I functioned in the daily business operations and all financial accounting duties. I also homeschooled my children from pre-school up to grade five, as well as taught Sunday school at church for several years. I have also tutored Business classes with a focus on Accounting and Finance at Springfield Technical Community College for my entire senior year. I enjoy getting the student excited about what they are learning by showing them the practical and useful side of what they are being taught. I believe that when learning is fun and students enjoy what they are learning they will do better. I try to use a hands on approach so that the student learns by doing. I provide lots of examples and change my teaching methods according to each students needs.

Because I have had to meet the needs of so many different students in so many different environments, I am flexible with teaching methods. A lack of resources overseas drove me to be creative and exercise methods of experiential learning: hands-on and engaged learning. I believe in creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for students, with some room for fun. I acknowledge that every student possesses a different learning style and I strive to compliment that, especially while tutoring. I maintain high expectations and expect considerable progress. My hope is that armed with an education, youth will be incorporated into more decision making around the world. I graduated with honors from a formal university, where I tutored fellow classmates; however, I gained most of my tutoring and teaching experience overseas, in a universal classroom. I have taught youth and adults

I have been working with children at different levels. I use creative posters for the younger ones and like to teach the basic vocabulary to use when you meet other french speaking people. I like to use simple pictures and after learning the vocabulary they can imagine their own story. My children have learning french at school here but I noticed that they don't use enough the speaking part which for me is important. The french grammar is hard to learn and sometimes it is not easy for them to understand in a short time. I hope also to be able to teach about my country which is Belgium. I am native from Belgium and came to the US in 1987. I have been tutoring French and Subbing in some area schools as Bancroft in Worcester, MA from 1st grade to high school level. and 7th and 8th grade in Princeton, MA. My first job was as a receptionist at The Quebec Government Office in Boston. Af

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 as I me

I have always loved foreign languages. I grew up in a Polish speaking home so was exposed to different languages at an early age. I concentrated my studies in the French language as a major in college and added Spanish as a minor concentration. I have also studied Polish along the way. I have taught and tutored French and Spanish for 31 years. I have also tutored students in English. I consider myself a linguist and have a broad knowledge of all three languages that I have taught. I have taught all grade levels but at the present time, I am teaching middle school. I have my own hands-on style in the classroom and prefer that method with the students that I tutor. Inevitably I need to teach the content required by the students' classroom teacher and have to fall back on traditional teaching methods in order to have the student become current in what is being learned at school.

After graduating from a Technical High School, I taught 6th grade class from 1998-1999 in my home country. As an new immigrant in 2001, with 2 1/2 years of College in Electronics, I was very much driven to continue my education here in the US. My former studies were in French and thus had to start my college education over in 2002. I obtained my Associate Degree in Basic Engineering from QCC and later obtained my BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from WPI. I have work experiences as an Design, Test/Diagnostic Engineer. I tutored a friend child 10th grade Algebra and helped bring his score up two grades. During my school years at WPI I learned German and completed my Interactive Qualifying Project in Germany. I teach a variety of classes ranging from children to adults at my church in Worcester MA. I love teaching and above all love the feeling of knowing my influence in someone's

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. As a student who excelled in school throughout my high school, undergraduate, and graduate education, I have a passion for helping students achieve that same sense of success. I grew up living and traveling internationally, and studied International Development and Sp

I love teaching because it provides an opportunity for both teacher and student to learn new things. I also believe that by applying appropriate teaching styles, the most difficult subject can be very easy to the students. I believe in getting students involved in their studies by making it fun. A child needs to study but must have fun whilst studying. My objective is to provide good educational approach to ensure that my students are the best in their field of study as well as have as much fun they could possibly have while pursuing their studies. While pursuing an undergraduate program in Biology, I was fortunate to join the peer mentoring program at my school. As a peer mentor, I tutored in General Chemistry 1 and 2 for two years. I made counseled and guarded my peers in my area of study I also tutored in calculus 1 for a program by the division of science called City College Academic

I emphasize on taking few notes but helpful ones. Speaking and listening is my main focus. Students needs to be able to communicate. Using the vocabulary in real world situations is the key, not just in the context of the chapter of the book. My students are able to use Spanish outside of the classroom and this is the biggest reward a teacher can observe. I am a French Canadian native, I went back to school in the USA to teach Spanish and French. I am certified to teach both and I have taught both for 4 years. I also have indepedent study French students. I tutored a high school student to prepare herself for the SAT's. I am a professional at what I do and believe that a second language opens opportunity to the world.

I pride myself in my ability to customize learning for every child. My class sizes at the university and in the high school range from 10 to 30 students, thus I am capable of adjusting my teaching and communication style to the needs of the group and the individuals. I am flexible, patient, engaging and dynamic - I believe that for a child to succeed, language must be brought to life for them and connected to their daily life and the things they find important. I use a variety of traditional and technological resources to connect grammar and vocabulary to the modern world and make French or Italian a reality for my students. My study of language has always been linked to teaching, beginning at Pennsylvania State University, where I earned 2 Bachelor's degrees in French and Italian. It was there that I began tutoring students privately, and as a contracted NCAA athlete tutor. I earned a

My goal is to help your child achieve success. I explain real-life applications of the subject (i.e., metric system--repair of foreign cars.) I encourage questions and dialogue. I use praise when warranted but am firm on deadlines and honesty. Aware of attention span, I take appropriate breaks or switch to another subject. I remind him to read and follow directions and to check his work over before he hands it in. I believe that in this fast-paced technical age your child needs the best chance possible to compete successfully. I have found that even with one exposure, a good educator can have a huge positive impact upon a student's confidence and comprehension. It is very gratifying to both student and teacher when this occurs. I have had a successful career as a medical scientist in hospital, government, and reference laboratories in the northeast and southern U.S., holding bench,
