French is one of my top subjects!

I have learned five different languages and am currently working on mastering Spanish. While completing my bachelors in linguistics I gained a keen understanding of the growth and evolution of syntax and grammar. This has given me great benefit in helping students overcome the hurdles of learning a foreign language.
Throughout my academic experiences I have had numerous opportunities to share my knowledge with each one helping me develop a toolset of an efficient educator. One of my first teaching experiences was in my home country, Belarus, when I have taught and tutored English at the Minsk State linguistic University for 4 years. During that time I have practiced my organizational and educational skills working at a children`s activities center as a counselor. Also I have gone through continuous pedagogical practice which included giving individual English lessons as well as ... read more

French instructor for online or in-person tutoring

Thomas Steinfeld Teaching Philosophy I have always had a passion for teaching French, but I must say that I consider myself a student of French as well as a teacher: we never stop learning. Furthermore, I consider myself a conduit; a guide to help my students move from one level of French to the next, while instilling in them a desire to use as many resources as possible outside of the classroom. Keeping students motivated and engaged is key. In my classroom, I always put the chairs in a semi-circle, so that every student is able to see and hear all of the others. I also believe in personalizing my lessons as much as possible. When students have a chance to talk about their own interests and beliefs, their families, friends, etc., they are much more motivated to use the target language and increase their vocabulary. I am also a firm believer in using humor as much as possible. Thi ... read more

Compasionate and understanding. I like to approach the root cause of the problem. All children have the ability to learn, however not all people have the ability to learn using the cookie cutter approach that most schools use. Patience is one of my key attributes. Understanding the child is key to success as a teacher, and I try to follow that rule at all times. I also believe that organization and routine help continue good study habits into the future. I look forward to working with you and your children!
I have a tremendous amount of experience working with children of all ages. My passion is teaching and counseling. I have taught in the Head Start Program and at a DOD school in the special education preschool. I have also worked with parents on parenting skills and helped them to better assist their children in learning. I also have knowlege and experience in foreign la ... read more

I love teaching and helping kids. I have been around a lot of kids all my life, and maybe I am not a people person, but kids seem to love me. I am a very patient person, and I would love to tutor your student. I also believe that kids can excel as long as they get proper help when needed. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.
I am 20 years old. I graduated from high school with honors. I was in advanced english. I also graduated with honors from Madison-Oneida BOCES. I am currently in college for Business Management, and I am also studying Psychology. When I finish I want to work with teenagers. Everyone goes through a hard time when they are teenagers, and I believe I can help. I have an older brother who was struggling through high school, and I helped him to graduate. My younger sister is now in high school, and I help her anytime she needs it.

I went into teaching because I enjoy working with children. I do not think of teaching as a job. It is very rewarding to me that I can help children understand complicated material. I make things simple and use things that they already know to build on to get them to understand the material. I like to teach the children pneumatic devices to help them remember the material1. When I instruct the students, I make sure to teach the different learning styles among the children and abilities. Howard Gardener (1983) came up with a theory that there are 8 different learning styles and Carol Ann Tomlinson (2000) came up with a theory called Differentiated Instruction. This is using multiple ways of instruction to ensure that all students are able to learn by the way you teach them. I use many different kinds of assessment as well. I always try to make my lessons as fun as I can to make the studen ... read more

When helping others, I do it two ways. I tell them how to do it and guide them through it. Other times, I show them how to do it. However, I do not do it for them. I would love to have the chance to help children succeed in their education! It would be an honor!
I graduated high school in 2000 with a local diploma and then went on to college at Utica School of Commerce. I graduated in 2002 with an Associated Degree as an Administrative Specialist. I have worked at a few different jobs and just went back to college again at Utica School of Commerce and got my certificate degree as a Medical Office Assistant.

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my 22+ year career in the insurance industry, I have been involved in the education and training of others. I have also been a member of our Company's "Partners in Education" program, which allows me the opportunity to speak to local area middle and high school students. On top of that, I am a proud father of four children, all of whom excel in their coursework. In my current role as a financial analyst, I work with data and statistics on a daily basis.
I thoroughly enjoy working with children. In addition to help raise my own children, I have coached from the elementary to the high school level for close to 20 years. Also, during a leave from work for medical reasons, I served as a substitute teacher in the local school district. I am a very patient and compassionate teacher, and seek opportunities to help others improve themselves. I truly believe that teaching ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Along with my students, I find that I am always learning better ways to transmit my knowledge, and this openness to adapt and change to the needs of the various students in front of me best describes my teaching style. However, in each lesson, I strive to incorporate both visual and auditory presentations of material. I also strive to incorporate listening and writing activities into each lesson. I love working toward that "ah-ha" moment when a student makes a link, finds a pattern, or even finds new success from new approaches to studying.
Having lived for two, nonconsecutive years in France, I developed a deep sense of responsibility and personal drive. Having taught both French and English in a high school, I have also acquired practical skills that allow me to effectively transmit my passion to both students who want to learn, and to those who face more challenges in the learni ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I really enjoy tutoring. I have been told in the past by students I have tutored that I am able to bring the information to their level, helping them to more easily understand the subject at hand. I believe that anyone can learn and master any topic that they are faced with. With the right techniques and learning styles, I believe that any effective tutor can aid their student tremendously.
As an Honors Student at Utica College, and as a past tutor, I feel very comfortable in the teaching setting. My long term goal is to enter the doctorate program at Syracuse University so that I may teach at the college level in the future. My BS in accounting with CPA concentration has given me the knowledge and skills that would allow me to be an excellent tutor in the specific area. In the last five years, I have tutored math, accounting, macro and micro economics. As a recent college graduate ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My method is very student-centered: learn the student's interests, strengths, weaknesses, and needs, and the way to properly teach them anything will be clear as day. I believe very strongly that people best digest knowledge when it's delivered to them "in their own language," and in ways that they can easily identify cognitively. I also bring in a very patient, nurturing, and encouraging attitude that allows for even frustrating subjects to be learned at a sound and progressive pace without extreme amounts of stress or pressure. Nothing makes a difference in a child's life like education, and I plan on giving the best that I can!
As a recent graduate of Le Moyne College with stellar grades, I have achieved a truly remarkable level of education. Though I have only earned a BA in Psychology, I have a very comprehensive knowledge of English literature, composition, history, Frenc ... read more

My teaching style is parallel to my learning style. I appreciate explanations that are thorough and tailored to my interests. I've learned that concepts and ideas are easier to understand if they refer back to something I can relate to. I aspire to become someone a child can look up to, as well as understand. I want them to be comfortable coming to me with any questions they may have.
During my sophomore year as an undergraduate at the University of Florida, I spent my spare time tutoring/mentoring a third grade student at a local Gainesville elementary school. We spent ample time going over reading and math assignments. I also career mentored eighth grade students in the Richland County School District in Columbia, SC. I have learned strong writing and basic mathematical skills at my current position as a media planner.

A Little Bit About Me...

Understanding each student's learning style is key to providing quality instruction. My background in assessment helps me determine baseline data for each student so that I can track progress toward agreed-upon goals and objectives. I firmly believe that students must be shown good models and that clear directions which clarify their misunderstandings helps them become competent with necessary skills and processes. Parents of students I have taught often expressed appreciation for knowing how their children learned and focusing instruction in that manner. With my wide experience at the elementary, college, and adult levels along with my work with English Language Learners, I know that I can provide a quality teaching style that will support a student working toward established goals.
