More About This Tutor...

I love teaching children and opening them to the fun and interest of learning a language. I break down the lessons into chunks that build on one another, making certain that the student(s) acquire a solid base. I am encouraging and respectful, as well as friendly and on their side. I have taught students of many nationalities and abilities, and I am attuned to discovering individual difficulties and solutions to these obstacles in learning.
I am fluent in six languages: French, Russian, Spanish, Italian, German, and English. I attended local schools and lived in those countries as a child, as well as worked overseas for seventeen years. My degrees are a BA in Comparative World Literature and an MA in Russian Literature and Linguistics. I worked as Coordinator and Trainer of the Language Tutorial Lab, training and overseeing tutors as well as tutoring in all six languages. I w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching comes naturally to me and I have the patience, dedication, warmth and concern that this profession requires. When a student recognizes that you sincerely care about their progress, they are more apt to apply themselves and feel confident in their ability to achieve. I believe in encouraging critical thinking skills, learning by doing, and learning through discovery. Education should be approached with a balance of seriousness and fun!
I earned a Bachelor's degree in Public Health Nutrition, which required me to take many science classes, including anatomy/physiology and chemistry. I have had a career as an ESL teacher overseas and in the U.S. For the past ten years, I have gained extensive experience teaching primary and secondary students as well as college students and other adults in classroom and tutorial settings. My classes have included reading, writing, grammar ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My experience in tutoring began in high school when I volunteered for my local library, in a program aimed towards improving students’ reading ability. Having had considerable difficulty learning to read myself, I felt it was important that I attempt to pass this on to others. When I entered Knox College I was focusing on English, and ended up helping my fellow students with writing and editing their papers.
I have always sought to lead rather than force something upon the student by rote. Most important is to present the information in a way that is both interesting and memorable. It is my experience that people remember things better when they truly understand the process, and have reason to listen to the explanation.

Read More About Christiane H...

When I came to the U.S. I was very happy to get the opportunity to improve my English as well as follow my passion in researching environmental problems. I learned in multiple classes and my research group how important team work is in accelerating knowledge, solve problems, and share what I learned with other people. As a undergraduate student I had the opportunity to tutor multiple High-school students in Chemistry and Math.
I am patient and love to work with children. I believe that every child has a natural drive to seek knowledge. However, classes at school are often too big to allow for different approaches to teaching.

Learning starts with learing about oneself and how you best perform. It is very similar to sports, you start off learning the techniques and then you must learn how you best apply them, and yes it takes practice. I have gathered many tools in my life and they came from all the different activities I have done. One must only keep the eyes open and mind focused to absorb the world around them. I believe that if given the answer the lesson is lost. Sometimes it is frustrating, but training wheels must never be confused with pushing the bike. The 'Ah ha' moment can only be earned not given. All children are different and more they learn about what makes them different, the better prepared they are to know and deal with their strengths and weaknesses.
Although I have no formal teaching experience, we all learn and teach everyday in our lives. I am very intelligent and want to pa ... read more
