Winnie
AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +23 Subjects
I hold a B.A. in Comparative Literature from Princeton University and an M.A. from Georgetown University in Arabic Studies/Middle East Studies. I'm currently working on my second masters degree in Mass Communications and Journalism at ASU's Walter Cronkite School.I would love to tutor students working on any of the following subjects: PSAT Critical Reading, PSAT Writing Skills, SAT Critical Reading, SAT Subject Test in Literature, SAT Verbal, TOEFL, AP English Language and Composition, AP English Literature and Composition, College Essays, Essay Editing, Grammar and Mechanics, Literature, Reading, Writing, Arabic, and European History.Here's a little bit more information about my background -- I'm currently a Teaching Assistant at ASU, where I work closely with undergraduate students on improving their writing and critical thinking skills. Before coming to ASU, I taught undergraduate humanities and English literature courses. I have also served as an SAT Prep instructor for the verbal and writing sections of the SAT. I really like working with students on the verbal and writing portions of the SAT because I find that, when approached the right way, these sections of the test are a lot of fun.In terms of my teaching philosophy, I like to keep things as active as possible. I think it's important that students feel they are engaged in a dynamic process; I view tutoring much like a conversation. If students have questions, I always want to hear them. I think in tutoring, when both the student and the tutor contribute, there's a great exchange.I'm originally from the East Coast, the Philadelphia area. I lived in the Middle East for four years for my work. In my free time, I like to stay active. I love exercising. Running, hiking, and going to the gym are all great. I am a big believer that physical activity helps clear the mind and restore focus. I also love coffee and going to coffee shops.I look forward to meeting you soon for tutoring. I'm happy to answer any questions about my background and experience.
Nicole
AP Biology Tutor • +15 Subjects
I am a current graduate student at Duke University in the Cellular and Molecular Biology Program, and I am a graduate of Assumption College with a Bachelor of Arts in Biotechnology and a minor in Chemistry. I was a tutor for the past three years at Assumption College. Working with students one-on-one and leading large group reviews has developed my ability to explain complex material to students in a simple and understandable manner. I have always enjoyed explaining material to others, and I find it satisfying when the students finally understand the concepts. I learned that in science it is crucial to be able to articulate concepts to people of diverse backgrounds. I also believe that it is essential to pass my knowledge and passion to others so they can make their own contribution to the scientific community. In my spare time I enjoy being active. I usually swim, run, and attend boxing classes.
Hannah
Conversational Spanish Tutor • +10 Subjects
I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a B.A. in International Affairs and minors in Spanish and Sociology. During my undergrad, I spent a year studying abroad in Spain, where I lived with a Spanish host family and took all of my courses in Spanish at the local university. More recently, I have completed a Certificate in Spanish Translation and Interpretation from Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona. In this program, I received training on medical, legal, commercial, and technological translation and interpretation. As a 2nd language learner of Spanish myself, I have personally experienced many of the common challenges that English speakers face when learning Spanish. Because of this, I am excited to share with students not only my love for the langauge, but also all of the tips and strategies that helped me learn difficult concepts. I tutor the courses Spanish 1-4 as well as professional tutoring for the CCHI Medical Interpreting exam. I like to tailor my tutoring sessions to each student and their individual needs and learning styles.
Monica
Conversational French Tutor • +6 Subjects
For me, learning languages means breaking down the barriers between different cultures and people. I studied French for 18 years in my school and university. I also completed a course of French language and culture in Blaise Pascal University in France.I feel so happy when I share my language experience to others.
Michael
College English Tutor • +7 Subjects
I am a graduate of the Wake Forest University School of Law in North Carolina where I obtained my Juris Doctorate Degree. I also received an bachelor's degree in communications from Brigham Young University. I greatly enjoy working with students who are trying to improve their academic performance. I have previously instructed online developmental writing courses for adults seeking to return to college and sought to improve their writing skills. I believe strongly that everyone has the talent needed to write and express themselves but that they need to learn how to structure and organize their writing so that their ideas can flow. For standardized testing I believe the most important factor in success is becoming comfortable with the test itself; learning the common ways the test makers misdirect a student’s attention and how to properly break down a problem. Outside of the classroom I have a great interest in film; I own hundreds of movies from various genres, eras, and countries. I also write fiction in my spare time.
Christy
Algebra Tutor • +13 Subjects
My name is Christy and I have been tutoring for over 17 years. My passion is helping students to have a light bulb moments. I believe that once the foundation is laid, students are able to learn and build in the way that they learn and build. I am an unconventional tutor because I do not have a specific style or way that I tutor. I listen to my students needs and adjust accordingly because rarely do two people learn the same. I have taught elementary, middle, high and college math for well over 17 years. I am experienced with working with all students from different backgrounds. I majored in Computer Information Systems and received a Bachelor's and Master's degree in the field. I just completed a Master of Library Science in December 2020.
Sarah
ACT Prep Tutor • +73 Subjects
I have 6 years of classroom teaching and 10 years of tutoring experience, including more than 2500 hours of private and small-group instruction. I have taught classes from 6th grade to university and tutored from age 11 to adult.I have an undergraduate degree in English from Amherst College, and a Master's degree in Geosciences from the #1 graduate program in the country. I scored in the 99th percentile in the SAT and GRE, and previously worked for private test prep companies as a tutor, teacher and essay grader.My teaching style is encouraging, clear, fun, and flexible. I love figuring out how to customize a lesson in order to best cater to an individual student's needs. I can work with classroom teachers to come up with a plan to help you or your child through the semester. I also love helping students to build confidence that extends far beyond one subject or one test. As a teacher, it is important to me that students make fundamental and lasting progress as a result of our time together. One of my favorite things to do as a teacher is to convert students who are shy about math, into math heroes!

Frequently Asked Questions
Verb conjugation is one of the trickiest parts of 7th grade French because there are so many patterns to memorize. The most effective approach combines pattern recognition with repeated practice—students learn that -er, -ir, and -re verbs follow predictable rules, then practice conjugating verbs in context rather than in isolation.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly helpful here because tutors can identify which verb tenses your student struggles with most (present tense, passé composé, imparfait, etc.) and create targeted practice. Rather than drilling conjugation tables, great tutors weave conjugation into actual sentences and conversations, which helps it stick much better than rote memorization.
In a typical classroom, 7th graders get limited one-on-one speaking time with an instructor—maybe a few minutes per class. This is one of the biggest gaps in traditional language education. Speaking practice is essential because it builds confidence, develops pronunciation, and helps students move beyond translating in their heads to actually thinking in French.
When you connect with a French tutor for personalized instruction, your student gets dedicated conversation time every session. Tutors can slow down, correct pronunciation gently, introduce relevant vocabulary on the spot, and adjust the difficulty to match your student's level. This consistent speaking practice accelerates fluency development in ways that textbook work alone cannot.
Passive vocabulary review (like flashcard apps) has its place, but retention skyrockets when students use words in context and across multiple modalities. Research on learning shows that spacing out practice over time and mixing different types of retrieval practice—speaking, writing, listening—leads to much stronger long-term retention than cramming.
Experienced French tutors use a multi-sensory approach: they might introduce new vocabulary through conversation, have students write sentences using the words, then circle back to those words in future lessons. Tutors also help students identify patterns (like common prefixes and suffixes) so they're not memorizing random words but understanding how French builds meaning. This strategic approach turns vocabulary learning from tedious to manageable.
Many 7th graders struggle with listening because native French speakers talk fast, use contractions, and don't always pronounce every word clearly. The solution is gradual exposure combined with guided practice. Students need to hear French from multiple sources—tutors, podcasts, videos, music—but with scaffolding so they're not just passively listening.
Tutors help by speaking at an appropriate pace during lessons, highlighting key words before playing audio clips, and asking comprehension questions to guide listening. Over time, this trains the ear and helps students recognize spoken patterns they've learned in writing. The combination of tutor-led listening practice plus regular exposure to authentic French content builds comprehension skills steadily.
Both matter, but they serve different purposes. Reading builds vocabulary recognition and exposes students to how French grammar actually functions in context. Writing forces students to produce French and internalize grammar rules through application. In 7th grade, students typically need a balanced approach: enough reading to build familiarity with the language, and enough writing to develop confidence expressing their own ideas.
The ideal balance depends on your student's goals and strengths. If your student is stronger in reading but struggles to write, a tutor can create writing-focused lessons that pull from reading they've done. If speaking and writing feel disconnected, a tutor can integrate them—having students narrate their writing aloud or respond to prompts verbally before writing. Personalized instruction ensures your student develops both skills in proportion to their needs.
Language and culture are inseparable—learning how French speakers actually live, what they value, and how they express themselves gives students deeper motivation and comprehension. Cultural context also makes vocabulary and grammar stick better because students understand not just the mechanics of the language but when and how to use it appropriately.
Tutors bring cultural immersion into lessons naturally by discussing French-speaking countries, explaining idioms rooted in culture, and using authentic materials like French news, music, or literature excerpts. This transforms French from a subject to study into a living language connected to real people and places. Even at the 7th grade level, this cultural engagement dramatically increases student motivation and retention.
The best 7th grade French tutors combine strong language skills with the ability to communicate at a student's level. Look for tutors who have experience teaching middle school students specifically—they understand the developmental stage and know how to make grammar engaging rather than overwhelming. They should be comfortable teaching all four skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening) and able to diagnose where your student struggles most.
It's also valuable to find a tutor who understands your student's curriculum and can align instruction with what's happening in their class. Tutors should be encouraging, patient with mistakes (which are essential to learning), and able to adapt their approach when something isn't working. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we match you with tutors who meet these criteria and can provide the personalized instruction your 7th grader needs to build both competence and confidence in French.
