My comments on tutoring French : I was a French major, lived in France and have taught the language in both classroom and individual settings. I am repeatedly told by native speakers that I sound like one of them.

I believe learning should always be engaging and meaningful. It is critical to address individual student learning modalities and needs so the student can experience great success. I have always been a teacher of best practices, meaning incorporating those strategies and methodologies which are the most effective. They work because they promote high student investment and engagement.
I have been a dynamic, successful elementary, middle and high school teacher as well as college instructor of Art, English, French and History for many years. I also taught in a two way language immersion school ( English and Spanish) for six years so I can teach Beginning and Intermediate levels of Spanish. While teaching, I have always taken courses in the best practices of teaching as well as courses in subject matter content. I have tutored people of all ages, learning styles and needs in a range o ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 convey information to students through several media so they have a chance to absorb the lesson in whichever way best suits them. I also find that young children especially can learn a lot through games, and thus I have always been an advocate of educational puzzles, card games, etc.
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 wor ... read more

Whether the lesson is necessary for academic requirements or for leisure, I have always enjoyed passing my knowledge of the French language and culture to others, adapting my lessons to the level required by the student(s). Not everybody can flourish at the same pace; therefore my patience is an added bonus. I place emphasis on areas that most meet the student need, be it speaking, writing or grammar, and in some cases, culture. I have taught French at exam level as well as casual conversational level. An important part of any first lesson is to assess student need.
I am French born and educated, with an MA in English from the Institut Catholique de Paris. Married to an Englishman, with two grown-up daughters, I have lived in California for the past 13 years, prior to which we lived in the UK. My experience includes work for the language department of Cricklade College, Andover, UK ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It is my goal to provide support for all students striving to learn the academic, social, and emotional skills needed to become lifelong learners. I believe that the teacher and the curriculum must inspire the passion and power to make positive choices throughout life; education is the one and only key to reaching these goals and I consider it my job to make sure each student is prepared not just to meet them, but to exceed them.
I have spent over ten years in the classroom teaching English Comprehension, Literature, Writing and Spelling to students in middle school. I have also worked extensively with struggling readers grades 4-12, and with English Language Learners. I have supervised summer school programs, led peer-tutoring groups, and run a school newspaper. I currently volunteer as a liaison between my school district and my city, sit on the board of a local parenting group ... read more

I believe that education and learning are two of the most exciting and fulfilling elements of life and believe that helping others to learn is a way to give something back to this world. I have a Masters degree in Business. Not surprisingly, my math skills are quite good. Additionally, I possess strong communication skills (verbal and written) and am working on my first novel. In my professional life, I have managed staff and welcomed opportunities to teach and mentor. An intern from years ago recently contacted me and told me that he still fondly remembers us working on a white board to problem solve an issue. I believe that learning and problem solving should be fun, a puzzle that can be cracked if we just approach it the right way.
I love the learning process. Few things in life are as rewarding as teaching and learning. Stylistically, I would consider myself to a patient and ... read more

I don't have a professional experience in teaching. But I am willing to make the environment where I help people to learn Languages comfortable, pleasant, and not boring. I use different methods for different learners. It depends on the age of the learners and their interests.
As a college student, I am very interested in achieving my highest level in my field,meaning to become a future translator and interpreter in English, French , and Arabic. I am fluent in French and Arabic. To me learning languages is not just a process of achieving the ability of speaking and writing them , but it goes beyond this level. It is also learning people's cultures and communities.Learning a language may also help understand, function, and adapt in other environments that are different from ours. During the last four years I tutored French and Arabic to kids, adults; professional and students ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I would describe my teaching style in terms of the activity, belaying. Slack is given to the rope at times so that the climber may advance, or traverse, the face of the mountain. When the climber feels tired, or incapable, the rope needs tightening so the climber stays secure. If the climber falls from the face of the mountain the taught rope will prevent injury or possible demise. I tend to give my students slack when I feel they are advancing in terms of curriculum, yet once I notice their tendency to rest, or falter, I tighten my teaching approach by using more straightforward methods so that they are not confused, or do not wear themselves out with struggle. This is all so they reach the top of whatever mountain they choose to conquer.
My bachelor's degree in English serves as an example for the effort and time committed to education and a service to academia. I learned literar ... read more

I feel I have a personal obligation to prepare and conduct courses that are intellectually engaging, informative, and rigorous. This requires that I prepare detailed assignments and examination study guides.I understand and appreciate my responsibility to provide students with substantive information and practical skills:such as critical thinking and writing…. I encourage a stimulating, safe learning environment to ensure that students are eager and comfortable about their participation. I treat students respectfully. I encourage a marketplace of ideas and always solicit participation . I do not teach at students.
