In the last three years I have taught and tutored German, English, English as a Second Language, and standardized test preparation (including SAT, ACT, GRE, and TOEFL) in a variety of settings, including a public high school, a private Saturday school for heritage speakers of German, a small music college/tutoring center, and at the large state university SUNY Stony Brook. I have successfully helped students from ages nine to adult achieve their goals in whole-class, small-group, and one-on-one tutoring settings.

As a passionate of the french language, I am proud to say that I speak fluently the version used in France and that I can tell the difference among many other countries'. As a native speaker, I passed the CLEP examination with a score of 80/80 towards my degree. I speak french at home and my 14-year old daughter does, too. I have about 8 undergraduate college credits and 8 graduate credits. I have about 24 undergraduate college credits in Bio, Inorganic Chemistry, Sciences for Allied Health. I also studied high school organic chemistry. I would certainly prepare each session in advance and adapt to each individual's learning style. My teaching style is to catch up mistakes and correct them but my priority is in teaching by showing examples or patterns, by practicing repetitions, by having learner write. For instance, when I took the initiative of teaching french to my newborn (now a tee

To teach is to tie refinement of respect, unity of thoughts, sentimental attachment and truth by trusting each and every approach for coaching and highlighting the innovative ideas and inventions of students by your own creative and thought-provoking guidelines. I feel that students should be involved with their positive learning environment. In the classroom itself, the teacher needs to make the best utilization of the time allowed and must transmit the lesson to the students in the most palatable way. I want to teach and train the students. I would like to built in them the character which enables them to run the country progressively. Being a student of English Linguistics and Literature, I always wanted to excel in my field of English. I have graduated in English literature and Masters in English Linguistics and Literature, which has polished my skills to teach Englis

I have always loved to teach – even as a child in front of a tiny blackboard in my living room, playing school with my sister. Since then, I have continuously sought opportunities to teach outside of my daily school and work life. As an undergraduate at Middlebury College, I volunteered to teach beginning German at a local elementary school. After college, I taught seventh-grade Faith Formation at my church and also led monthly, 3-hour Confirmation preparation classes. My college coursework helped me develop excellent reading, writing, and language skills, but I am also competent in math and could easily tutor that subject on a grade school level. I believe that a love of school and learning begins with confidence in one's own abilities. Some find it easy, and others need a certain dose of encouragement and guidance to gain that self-assurance. As a tutor, I think it’s important to provi

As a Boy Scout I worked to help my fellow Scouts advance through the ranks and learn the skills that would help them become better Scouts and better young men. As an ESL teacher in both Germany and Spain I worked with a wide variety of students; from German civil engineers to Spanish middle schoolers. I also taught subjects such as Civics and Art through the medium of English. As a volunteer at my local library I have helped immigrants from diverse backgrounds gain a better grasp of the English language. At Huntington I work with students of various ages, from six to seventeen, on improving their skills as students. The key to a good teaching style is creativity and adaptability. It is the job of the teacher to adjust his teaching style to fit the needs of the student. Some students respond well to visual cues; such as drawings in the case of teaching English as a Second Language. Oth
