My comments on tutoring French : I minored in French at my university.

I have four years of experience as a tutor that I obtained throughout my college experience. Tutoring is a personal joy of mine as I witness students who I've worked with succeed in their academics. It has been the most fulfilling job I've had, and I look forward to new experiences with students who desire to learn.
I do not consider myself a teacher but a helper. In my experience, the Socratic method in which I pose probing questions that unlock the student's knowledge is the strongest approach. A student's retention of the material is strongest when the student can teach it, and that's what I aim for. I break down any material the student doesn't understand into terms that are easier to comprehend. Preparedness is expected on the part of the student. I am not a substitute for independent study, and the sessions should not consist of doing homework. I am a resource best use ... read more

I earned my undergraduate degree of History at The College of Charleston. From there I have been teaching various subjects such as math, Algebra, Geometry, World Geography, U. S. History, Economics, Government. I have taught in many middle and high schools throughout SC and NC. During the last five years I have tutored part time while I taught. As a published author, I have extensive grammar skills due to the various publications I was fortunate enought to be part of. I have taught subjects in Algebra, Geometry, U.S. History, and Western Civilization at the undergraduate level
I enjoy teaching very much. I think a strength trying to use a student's active content or prior knowledge to connect to material. My attempts are always to make the student feel empowered by the education process. If you can connect to way what they are into, either cartoons, hip-hop, popular culture, with c ... read more

I have a master's degree in Languages and Foreign cultures, I'm Fluent in French and Italian, I have tutored students in French, Italian, language wise and literatures wise. I’m a multilingual, multicultural professional linguist with experience in translating documents and other materials from Italian and French to English and vice versa. I wrote a final thesis of 100 pages in French and Italian, about the novel “Women of Algiers in their apartment” by Assia Djebar. A courageous Female Algerian Writer. These pieces are located in an almost exclusively female and domestic – ‘restricted’ – setting. The first thing a woman learns, Djebar suggests, is to stay in her place, .
Teaching is not primarily telling. It’s helping other people learn. That means the focus is on the learners, not the teacher. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constru ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Since I acquired language using primarily the conversational method, that is my basic approach to teaching. Of course there are the basics of grammar and syntax, style and such, all of which are necessary, but if you cannot open your mouth and produce an intelligible phrase, then what good is it to acquire another language? I approach this method through dialogue with my pupil - the Aristotelian method, if you will. I ask the questions, they provide the responses and I correct them on the points of grammar that are applicable to the extent situation. This, I believe, frames the lesson in a practical application, as opposed to mere rote memorization. It's the method that worked for me, so I believe in it and I use it.
My love of the French language led me to pursue my BA specializing in the language and culture in college. After college I immediately traveled to France on a very ... read more
