French Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Strongstown, PA

I like to cover the basics right off the bat, even if they may be familiar with them and then focus on whichever areas are most troubling for the student. I began studying french in the 9th grade, became President of my high school's French Club my senior year, and then attended the University of PIttsburgh at Johnstown Majoring in Creative Writing while working on my French certification. I have 40 credits and a 3.0 but am no longer able to afford classes there.

My passion for teaching world languages stems from my firm belief that children must develop a global awareness and become tolerant of different cultures in order to be successful in our world today. I love working with students of all ages and encourage each to reach his full academic potential. Whether or not a student is comfortable with a teacher has a strong impact on his ability to learn. For this reason I attempt to discover what works with each individual and vary my methods of teaching accordingly. I am a patient,persevering teacher with a sense of humor. I believe in the uniqueness of each person and concern myself with having each student I encounter feel accepted and valued. As an educator, my experience includes not only nineteen years in public education as a middle school and high school French and Spanish teacher but also four years experience as a private school Art

I have been very successful in academics throughout my education. I was valedictorian of my high school, and I received the top honors in English, French, and Accounting. I also maintained a 4.0 average throughout my college education. I love working with children of all ages and abilities and helping them with academics. I don't believe I have a specific teaching style. I know that I have to be flexible and creative with each student. Everyone learns differently, and I feel it is my obligation to find what works for each child. I do belive in providing hands on and real life scenarios when teaching.

I believe that every student can choose where he/she wants to go, as long as they are given the tools to acheive these ambitions. I have a heart for children and love watching their minds embrace new ideas and concepts. If I provide the patience, experience, motivation and materials, I hope that every student I have guided (or will guide) will go on to do great things. Working in a French public school taught me more patience than I thought I had. But in doing so, I am now prepared to deal with all types of children. If you show me even the slightest interest in learning, I'll coach you all the way! Let's learn together! I hold a degree in Political Science, but I concentrated in international relations with a fascination for other cultures and languages. Having lived in both England and France, I have been forced to adapt to new ways of thinking, speaking, writing and eventually
