More About This Tutor...

I have worked in both the public and private school settings and have 20 years teaching experience. I enjoy the most the opportunity to work with a child individually because that direct time and attention often makes it easier to assess areas of weakness and how best to adapt instruction to the learner's needs and learning style. One of my most cherished teaching positions was at the Arkansas School for Mathematics and Sciences, a residential high school for gifted junior and seniors. In that environment we were able to do so great learning activities that embedded student performance based learning so that students had opportunities to showcase their learning and language acquisition.
Some students remember best what they see, some what they hear, but nearly all will best recall material that they see hear say and do something with. My teaching style is one that tries to inco ... read more

As a tutor with Webster University's student literacy corps, I worked with individuals, pre-K-adult, on reading, literacy, and writing skills. I held this position for two years along with a summer position tutoring Algebra and French with HEC Upward Bound, which service at-risk youth. I found both programs extremely enjoyable and found that all of my students were eager to learn and improve their skill set.
It has been my experience that each student has his/her individuals needs and that each learns differently. Thus, I make a conscious effort to sit down privately with each of my students so that we can address his/her concerns effectively and put together a constructive plan to improve his/her skill set.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree with a focus in French. I am currently working on my teacher certification in the state of Missouri and also my certification in ESOL. From January 2010 to May 2010 I student taught at the McCluer high school in Florissant, Missouri in the Ferguson-Florissant district. I taught French 2 through French 4 and an advanced French 5/6 class including a francophone lesson unit that I designed.
I believe in differential teaching styles. Every student has the ability to learn, however every student's learning capabilities are all different. I believe that it's important to understand how every student learns as an individual and exposing them to a variety of learning situations. This can be done with lectures, readings, music, and various projects. I also believe that students learn better when they are able to relate to the topic which is why in my classro ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From the moment I began French in high school, it became a passion for me. I took 4 years of courses in 3 years' time, and tested into 4th semester level (highest possible) French upon entering college. I knew all along I wanted to be a teacher, thus becoming a French teacher was perfect logic. I earned my BS in Ed, and having attended a liberal arts college, making cross-curriculum oriented lessons was easy with the diverse studies I had done. While attending college, I worked as a peer-tutor in a program designed to help struggling students. During my first teaching job, I tutored students after school, both at school (part of a state-funded program) and as a home-bound teacher. My second teaching job was in France, which involved a great deal of one-on-one teaching/tutoring. At my current job, I often stay after school, offering tutoring help to my students.
I love teachi ... read more
