French is one of my top subjects! Since there are only three choices, "Expert" to me is native mastery of the language. Although not a native, I am very well versed in the French language, thanks to my love of both the language and culture. I lived in France for two years of my university, something that I would very much do again. French is a very complicated language, full of different nuances and grammatical rules that can really discourage a new French student (even advanced students !). Unfortunately there are a lot of programs out there that promise mastery of French in a couple months to even a couple of weeks! This is not correct, it takes time, dedication, and motivation to master a language. That is the beauty of language learning, the journey never ends. My goal with the student is to help the student stay motivated throughout their journey in the French language, to make sure that they stay at it even during the "plateau" phases of language learning. I look forward to speaking with each of you. Bonne chance!

When I taught English abroad, I tended to make sure each student had a general understanding of the idea of what I wanted to talk about, and then helped them work on the context clues so that they could figure out for themselves what is being said in the target language (French). In a one on one tutoring scenario, I will be able to help the student's comprehension and we will be able to focus on details.
I have always had an interest in both the French language and its respective culture since I was a child. When I was in first year of high school I took my first French class and fell in love with the language. I took learning it very seriously until I had the chance to study abroad in college. While attending Stetson University, I was able to have the chance to study in Avignon, France and ended up staying for two years! While studying there I was able to really experience th ... read more

My comments on tutoring French : I have 10 years substitute teaching experience primarily in languages - French being the most frequently offered language after English. I studied French at the Sorbonne and with Alliance Francaise both located in Paris.

For the greater part of my life I have been involved in various facets of education. I have acted as substitute teacher at the middle and high school levels for a total of 10 years, 8 of which were spent at 12 schools in Vermont and 2 at 10 schools in Hernando County FL. I held the position of Senior ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) with a highly reputed language school in Vienna, Austria for a period of 2 years and have offered ESOL instruction as a volunteer teacher at the Tarpon Springs campus of St. Petersburg College and with the Hernando County branches of H.E.A.R.T. and R.S.V.P. I have given prvate English language lessons to individuals from Nepal, Brazil and Puerto Rico. From December 2011 through April 2012 I was employed by "A Quantum Leap" as aa tutor under the SES program. While in the military, I volunteered to instruct Korean Air Force officers in correct ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been working as a private tutor from my home or student's home for 3 years. I have tutored elementary through college level students. I am able to teach a variety of subjects, however my forte is English and Composition. I have the honor of being a published author. I am an expert in MLA or APA style writing. I have also tutored in College Algebra, elementary math, Biology, and Reading. I speak conversational French, and am able to teach up to the secondary level.
It is my belief that everyone is able to learn, and what produces that ability is having support. So many instructors give up on those not favored as "prized" students, and in turn, these students just slide through. I know it takes time and effort to get some students enthused about education, and I make it my goal to help them with this.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a graduate of North Georgia with a passion for language and literature. I have worked on projects that have been, or will soon be, published. I am a talented writer, and love helping others with their writing endeavors. I am able to read, understand, and transcribe French, however, I am not a very good "speaker". I have worked with different educational levels, from elementary to college, in assistance of writing assignments, as well as math, science, social sciences, and history. I have even assisted with graduate research papers, from an Oxford professor, and my students received top scores.
I want to first stress that I am only an assistant on their learning journey, not the protagonist. I will not do your child's work for them, but I will make sure that they complete their assignment, and we, as a team, complete it to the best extent possible. I know that a lot of childr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It seems I have always been involved in education, whether through planning/implementing lesson plans, creating assessments or one-on-one work with a student. I have experience in all areas of education with all ranges of students and have learned from each one of them. All lesson plans and standards are adaptable no matter the need. I have created unique units (such as "Language of the Week") and worked with birth through age 22.
Everyone has always told me that I was born to be a teacher, that I have an innate gift to decipher what a student needs and to promote success and accomplish goals. I am patient, considerate and flexible. Learning occurs through teachable moments every day, and it is how we respond to these moments that determines our future. Student needs and learning styles vary and educational structure should be adapted to the individual needs of the student. I ... read more

My teaching style is to ensure that the student excels at learning and I will accomplish this by actively inviting questions at any time, no matter how insignificant the student may feel the question may be. I will treat each and every student with respect and my success should be measured on how well the student demonstrates learning the subject matter by being tested independently at a future date. My personal goal is to provide the very best education possible and I do so by showing patience, being easy going and considerate. My goal is simply to serve the educational needs of the student.
I hold an MBA degree from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University in Chicago, IL and a BS degree from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. Both degrees are in finance, however, I had numerous courses in accounting. I have over thirty-five (35) years o ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I possess 10+ years of experience in the field of school psychology. My current dual Florida certification includes the instructor of Foreign Languages (K-12 Spanish) credential. I pursued direct hands-on experience as an instructor of non-traditional (GED for under 18, adult, and bilingual) students and as a college level adjunct professor. In the latter position I was trained as a distance-learning instructor. This experience expanded my “bag of tricks” in the development of ideas using technological applications to assist struggling students and the teachers that serve them.
Education is one of the best tools anyone could have to build a fulfilling life. It is my experience that students that require that extra boost through tutoring succeed when a role model that demonstrate the skills demanded for their grade level is demonstrated step by step. I emphasize on showing stu ... read more

Studying French and Russian Studies at Stetson allowed me gain more than a grasp on those two languages, but insight to the cultures, an appreciation for and ability to interpret literature and poetry, a deeper understanding of history, geography, and politics as well as a desire to share all of this with others.
I believe that children need to find a reason to have a goal of being educated. Coming from a small town and having such a global perspective, I love helping children see their place in this vast world and that they are an important global citizen. I try to show them through energetic discovery, that all this "boring stuff" leads to much more interesting and and fun stuff. Children need to know that they are important assets to us all and that they are more than capable of over acheiving whatever they set out to do.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Speech Language Pathology field as an Assistant. I graduated 11 years ago from University of Puerto Rico Medical Science Campus. During my bachelor's degree I took some curses of American Sign Language. From 8/1998 to 2/2002 I worked in Clinica de Terapias Pediatricas working in one on one basis with students to get them improve in the areas of speech, language and comprehension. While I was working with them I used to help the students in all school matters like math, language arts and sciences. After that time I took some time and started giving tutorials at home to students of elementary school having them improving every single area seeing results from D to B.
I love teaching and working with children. I believe for my experience that all kids can learn but in their own ways and time. This means that there are approximately three kinds of lear ... read more

My BA degree is in Business Administration. I worked as an accountant and a paralegal before becoming certfied to teach. I have strong math skills and am currently tutoring a freshman in Algebra. My Florida certification covers grades K-6. As a kindergarten teacher, I was one of two teachers out of eight that was able to get my entire class on grade level by midyear according to the DIBELS standards. My experience as a paralegal focused on my writing skills. I was often consulted for my grammar and vocabulary knowledge.
I like to use fun and innovative strategies to intrinsically motivate my students. Children learn in many different ways. One of the benefits of the tutoring process is that I can find the strategy that works best for each student. I want to help your children be successful students and instill a confidence and love of learning that will serve them for the re ... read more

I would describe my teaching style as very patient and child-oriented. I believe I am good at meeting the child where he or she is at and then taking them to the next level quickly. I do not believe in wasting time if there is mastery of a subject and this includes being willing to devote more time to the true areas of difficulty. I am very praising and positive and believe in showing a child not just how to succeed in a sepcific subject but how to develop skills that will help them succeed in all areas including life!
I graduated in 1981 with a French Degree and proceeded to work in Community Centers and YMCA-type facilities doing program development, coaching, after-school and summer camp activities as well as hands-on childcare and some tutoring. I always loved working with kids and recently decided take things to the next level and become a teacher. I relish the idea of he ... read more

I'm a French native speaker from the Dem. Rep. of Congo, central Africa. I left my country and moved to Kenya (an English speaking country) as soon as I graduated from high school. I spent four years there, learning English and tutoring French. Later, I moved to Ivory Cost (French speaking country) where I staid for a year and half translating French academic documents into English. Finally, I moved to USA in 2002 to go to school. I started tutoring college level French, Biology, and Math when I was in college. Tutoring has been part of my life for awhile.
Although I have tutored all ages, I mostely enjoy tutoring children or youngster. The reason is that they have fresh mind and have a very good ability to the learn languages easier than adult. However, adult tutoring can also be a lot of fun and easy depending on the learner's motivation.
