More About This Tutor...

I am a fluent French-speaker from Burlington, VT. I lived in Paris for a year, where I took care of two young children helping them with their homework. I have extensive tutoring experience in a variety of subjects and have tutored children as young as 5 and worked as a teaching assistant in university classes where I lead study groups and tutoring sessions.
Relaxed and casual. I will go at whatever pace you require/want. Lessons will take place in my home (or in a public place, if the person is more comfortable with that).

French is one of my top subjects!

Many factors have combined in today’s society to make it difficult for some people to thrive in our traditional school systems. Increasing class sizes, parents’ or students' busy work schedules and technological distractions have created an environment in which students can easily fall behind. I am a qualified, dedicated personal tutor which can assist in achieving good academic standing, lessening frustration with the learning process, and developing the study skills which will be useful throughout life. I gain great satisfaction in providing that assistance, while making learning enjoyable and rewarding for everyone involved. The English language is my specialty, in particular teaching English as a foreign language, enhanced by my extensive knowledge of English and American literature. I also am fluent in French and Italian, and have taught and tutored in all three languages from be ... read more

French is one of my top subjects!

I have taken French for over 5 years now and am currently pursuing a minor in the subject at the University of Vermont. I have been to France multiple times for both vacation as well as for building business connections. This following semester I will be attending the Grénoble École de Management (Grenoble School of Management) in France where I will be taking business courses in addition to french language courses. I have received A's in all of my french courses for the 5+ years that I have been taking the language. French to me is very important as I intend to use it after graduation in the business/professional realm.

French is one of my top subjects! I have a MA in French and 14 years of teaching experience. I was a middle school and high school teacher, and most recently a college professor.

Interactive immersion. My students enjoy a safe, comfortable, and fun learning experience. In the classroom, I apply the "flipped" classroom teaching methodology.
Since the year 2000, I have taught and tutored middle school, high school, college, and adults in the public school systems, the private sector and most recently at the University of Vermont. I have attended ACTFL (American Council on Teaching Foreign Language) conventions around the country to stay on top of the latest teaching technologies in order to provide optimal learning opportunities for my students. I have designed French courses for innkeepers, executives, and for travelers. I enjoy teaching and tutoring students of all ages.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and helping others. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best help possible. Up until now, i was a student just like them and i feel that the approach and help of someone of the same age generation will not only inspire and motivate them to pursuit higher education.A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education.
As a SUNY graduate, I have earned a BS in Biology/chemistry, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last 4 years I have tutored students in french, mathematics, and sciences.

I am a certified teacher in the area of middle school social studies. I am now also qualified for high school certification. I have been working as a long-term substitute in Burlington area schools in social studies for the last 5 years. I have also been working as a paraeducator in special education. I have worked in all subjects. I have a high interest in math, and successfully advanced to, and passed, Calculus two in college. This past year I have been helping several students one-to-one in geometry, algebra, and algebra two. I have also taught small group and one-to-one reading and writing at the high school and middle level.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an experienced Remedial Language Specialist, I have been responsible for designing and implementing individualized programs for students with a wide range of learning styles. In addition to fostering reading proficiency, vocabulary acquisition and strategies for passage comprehension, I am also an expert at teaching the writing process from brainstorming to outlining to final revision. I am passionate about language and empowering students with tools for academic success.
My teaching approach is to be direct and explicit, as well as facilitative. When working with students, my goal is that they internalize concepts and strategies that will ultimately enable them to perform independently. Then, when teaching reading and writing, I emphasize underlying structures and organization of text and the steps in the writing process. Breaking down barriers by pulling out language and ideas ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

It is difficult to describe my teaching style because I try to adapt to the student. Students learn differently and therefore it is my belief that you must observe first and then you have to adapt to the student, especially in a one on one situation. Some students may learn better if you play a game with them, others if you read them a passage. I try to learn as much as I can about the student and adapt to their individual needs, especially for those with learning disabilities and special needs.
I have had a deep interest in helping people since I was a young child. Seeing someone succeed because of my help is one of the greatest motivators for me, especially when it's "against the odds". As a college student I tutored the students who really wanted to learn but couldn't through no fault of their own--those with learning disabilities and non-native English speakers. I have tutored ... read more

Students reproduce a specific set of outcomes on cue. The teacher makes the pre-impact, impact, and post-impact decisions. There is also a direct and immediate relationship between the teacher’s stimulus and the learner’s response. . Strength – One of the strengths of using this style of teaching is that it is a quick and efficient way to get through a certain task. Weakness – A weakness when using this teaching style is that all of the students must do a task at the same proficiency level. Also the teacher is tied up and not available to give personal feedback.

I love working with people, and have a lot of patience. I work hard to let the student work through problems themselves before assisting them. A lot of students I have spent time with just need a small amount of encouragement and are very capable of completing their work. I enjoy working with different types of people, and adapt my style to fit their needs.
I started tutoring in 9th grade, and continued until my freshman year of college. I tutored middle school and high school students in math, sciences, and social studies. In college I tutored in Level 1 and 2 French, Psychology, and College Level Algebra. I have tutored both male and female students, and have worked with people with reading and learning disabilities.

I think Math is the most beautiful subject and the highest form of human expression. A lot of times people are turned away from it due to a high school math experience that they perceive as dry and boring. When I tell people I love math, I too often hear "well, better you than me!" I think part of the high school math experience should include turning students on to mathematical discovery. Confronting confusion and working through to develop an understanding that feels personal and thorough. I believe that everyone must learn in an individual way at their own pace and I am prepared to put in the necessary effort to give my students that opportunity. Sure, there is certain material that just needs to be learned, but even what seems dry can be presented in such a way as to generate enthusiasm and interest in the subject. I think inspiration and excitement about mathematics is the mo ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My approach when teaching children is child centered. The activities I provde are needs driven and geared toward the child experiencing success as he works to increse skills in the target area. I teach the child to use strategies which will help him in the area of organization and learning. When appropriate, I encourage the child to use calming techniques or engage the child in activities to promote alertness, the assist the child in focusing on the activity at hand.
I have taught pre-school and elementary school in Canada and in the USA. I have taught French K-8. I have worked with adults with disabilities in a habiliitation setting. I have worked as a COTA in the school districts where I provided OT services for students with disabilities, aged 4-21.
