French Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Dayton, PA

I like to cover the basics right off the bat, even if they may be familiar with them and then focus on whichever areas are most troubling for the student. I began studying french in the 9th grade, became President of my high school's French Club my senior year, and then attended the University of PIttsburgh at Johnstown Majoring in Creative Writing while working on my French certification. I have 40 credits and a 3.0 but am no longer able to afford classes there.

I love working with children of all ages and abilities and helping them with academics. I don't believe I have a specific teaching style. I know that I have to be flexible and creative with each student. Everyone learns differently, and I feel it is my obligation to find what works for each child. I do belive in providing hands on and real life scenarios when teaching. I have been very successful in academics throughout my education. I was valedictorian of my high school, and I received the top honors in English, French, and Accounting. I also maintained a 4.0 average throughout my college education.

As a private tutor, I give lessons to students whose ages range from thirteen to adult, and whose level varies from beginner to advanced. I teach mostly conversational, and as we progress, I introduce basic grammar. Those who are already taking French in school or in college and need to come up to speed on their current curriculum can also benefit from my tutoring. I work with the textbook and help with the understanding of the lessons through various exercises. I am a French native and have been living in the Pittsburgh area for 18 years. I have been a French Teacher and private Tutor since 2000. I have been teaching or am currently teaching High School French (Levels 1, 2 and 3), High School Latin (Level 1), and Introduction to Languages. I also have experience in teaching French in Elementary Schools (all grades) and Kindergarten. I have implemented Summer Camps and After School

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 teaching, where I was thrown in a classroom of French students for which I became a role model of American culture. It was during this time that I decided to work towards becoming a teacher. Further,I am a university speech champion and have written many essays over the course of my studies. Some of which were presented to tutors at Oxford and critiqued on a weekly basis. Thus, my writing skills were formed during this time. 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 n

As an educator, my experience includes not only nineteen years in public education as a middle school and high school French and Spanish teacher but also four years experience as a private school Art and Music teacher for grades 1-8. Throughout my years in public education I have served fourteen years as the Foreign Language Department Chairperson and have organized,through an educational tour company, several student tours to Mexico and Europe. I have successfully tutored students in French and Spanish and also conducted private Spanish classes in my home for small groups of 5-7 year old children. My passion for teaching world languages stems from my firm belief that children must develop a global awareness and become tolerant of different cultures in order to be successful in our world today. I love working with students of all ages and encourage each to reach his full academic potent

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 undergraduate and graduate students. I also have given lessons in high school level algebra. Prior to going to graduate school I was a substitute mathematics instructor at Wilkinsburg High School. Prior to working at Wilkinsburg, I was the Apangea Learning Math Instructor for Penn Hills High School. While at Penn Hills High School I worked with students in subjects from basic math to college prep calculus and test preparation for entrance exams. I also have experience working with teenagers at three different summer camps, one of these camps being the Penn Hills YMCA. I am also a professional musician and a statistical consultant.

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 students' lives and social realities. I love sharing my expertise and love to see that my students are learning a lot. I like to not only teach but positively impact. 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 s

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 love teaching is being able to relate the subject to each individual in a personal way. By having students produce language and create written and spoken assessments about themselves, they are more likely to put information in their long-term memory. It is my goal to make students enjoy the learning process. I am a recent university graduate with a b

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. 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 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.

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

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

In the past, I have tutored other students, usually my peers, off and on, and it never fails to provide satisfaction at helping others learn. As a 2009 graduate of Allegheny College, I earned a BS in Biology with a minor in French. I served as a "Peer Leader" for incoming freshman, where I acted in the capacity as a teaching assistant and made myself available to the students if they needed help writing papers, doing research, or with any other academic aspect not directly related to that class. I have helped with English grammar, writing papers, and informally, I have aided others with Biology and French. I have a love of learning, and there is nothing better than teaching others to love it, too. I am very patient, organized, and considerate of your child's needs, learning pace, and abilities. I believe that anyone can do well if they have the proper guidance and help. I've been t
