French Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Healdsburg, CA

This thought of Nikos Kazantzakis, Greek writer and philosopher has always reminded me of the tremendous love I have of teaching or tutoring: "Ideal teachers [tutors] are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own." Instead of admiring good thought only, I usually feel concerned doing something about it. Unfortunately, in my home country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the teaching/tutoring profession is not highly regarded, and so I did not go down that path professionally. My decision to go to law school to become a legal professional did not stop me from finding alternative methods of teaching or tutoring. While in high school, I was passionate about sharing the excitement of a good book to classmates; in addition, I was involved in m

According to the need of the student, some students are fast learning, some are slow, this is very important taking in consideration because my philosophy is that "Everybody is able to learn", we just have different learning styles. I' ve been working for about 18 years with students from Kindergarten through 12 grade in the Petaluma Schools District in the city of Petaluma, California. I've had experience teaching English as a second language and tutoring experience teaching math, language and science.

The French language has been one of my passions since I started studying it in high school. I followed this passion into college at UC Davis where I will receive my BA in French next month. I recently returned from a year long study abroad program in Lyon, France where I studied International Relations at the University of Lyon. I will also receive a BA in this subject. My French has improved tremendously and I am proud to say that I have mastered the language and speak it fluently. In Lyon I helped young middle school children with their English at an after school program. At first this was very difficult for me but I figured out the best way to effectively help the kids learn. I found that engaging the students using their own personal interests was key. For example, using video game or cartoon magazines to start conversation topics and to help with pronunciation, spelling, etc. Kids l

As a high school student, I tutored my peers in French, drawing on my life-long use of the language to help others understand the intricacies of conjugation and word order. Now, as a college student, I am continuing my study of French to coordinate the dialect I learned at home with the formal use of the language. My tutoring experience in reading includes work with students at Mountain View Elementary School in Concord. There, I met with students who were struggling with reading at their grade level and helped them with pronunciation and comprehension. As a health educator, I am well-versed in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and pathology. I prefer to teach not through rote memorization or lengthy lectures, but through participatory experiences. Following the theory that some people are audio learners, some are visual learners, and some are kinesthetic (doing) learners, I like to c
