Benjamin

ACT English Tutor • +14 Subjects

I'm from a small town in southeast Michigan, where I went to high school before moving to Nashville for university. I just graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Bachelor's degree in neuroscience and Russian. During my time in high school and college, I tutored in a volunteer capacity on a wide range of subjects, from English and essay editing to calculus to ACT prep. I am hoping to spend the next year traveling (I am currently living in Bucharest, Romania!) before applying to medical school. Aside from tutoring, I would be happy to commiserate with you about the stresses of applying to higher education.

Kimberly

Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects

Igniting a desire to learn in my students drives my passion for working with them. I have supported Kindergarten through college-level students in their pursuit of academic success. I have taught and tutored students in all subject areas and ability levels; working with both neurotypical and neurodivergent students. I have worked extensively with students in math and language arts. I am a proud alumni of the University of Pennsylvania (MS in Education/concentration: Special Education and Urban Education), and Kent State University (BS in Education). I especially love working with students in math and language arts (high school English) because these two subjects are the bedrock of all other learning. Once a student gains knowledge and confidence in language arts and math, they master the material in their other subjects quicker.Because I know that all students learn differently, I work with students to determine their learning style and teach them from an asset base approach. In other words, I start with what they do well and build upon that until they reach the objective they need to grasp.When not teaching or tutoring students, I am an avid sports fan. I enjoy embarking on adventures with my daughters; exploring new sites, experiences, and restaurants.

Asta

ACT Prep Tutor • +98 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my undergraduate degree in political science. Right after graduation, I worked as an academic and test prep tutor as well as admissions consultant in Hong Kong. For the past two years, I worked with a number of students to help prepare them for college in the United States.Even though I tutor a wide range of subjects, I enjoy teaching English and standardized test preparation the most. I love helping my students find beauty in the English language in addition to helping them achieve their college goals. I also love working with students on their college essays because that's when I feel I get to know my students the best, as we talk through dreams, aspirations, and life experiences. I view education as a skill; education is not around to help us learn specific things, but rather education teaches us how to learn.Outside the classroom, I'm a well-traveled certified SCUBA diver who enjoys spending time kayaking and weightlifting. I also played ice hockey through college and performed as a classical pianist on campus and in Europe. When I'm not feeling so active, I can be found knitting, crocheting, reading, writing, and daydreaming about where I want to travel to next. I'm working on becoming a true Renaissance woman.

Irene

AP Psychology Tutor • +15 Subjects

I graduated from Columbia University with my BA in Neuroscience and Behavior as well as having completed the premedical track. Gaining this rigorous science background allowed me to pursue my love of science and medicine, and it also gave me a thorough understanding of what it takes to study and learn efficiently. Effective study strategies, dedication, patience, and some sheer persistence are things I am very familiar with and share with those I tutor.Learning is a process that doesn't stop in school. For me, one form that continued learning has been conducting an extensive amount of scientific research at prominent research institutions on topics ranging from the causes of obesity to kneecap pain to why mosquitoes are attracted to some people and not others. Continuously asking questions is a major component of research, and I encourage the students I tutor to not just memorize content, but ask questions until they really understand what they are learning. When working through concepts, problems, and test-taking strategies, I make sure my students ask questions until they know why they are solving a problem a certain way or how a specific concept fits into the bigger picture. This strategy boosts student confidence and facilitates long-term academic success!

Frequently Asked Questions

Seventh graders typically find present-tense verb conjugation challenging, especially irregular verbs like être, avoir, and aller. Vocabulary retention is another common hurdle—students need to absorb 800+ new words across topics like food, school, family, and daily routines. Many also struggle with gendered nouns and adjective agreement, which have no English equivalent. Speaking and listening comprehension can lag behind reading and writing because classroom time is limited for conversation practice. A tutor can target these specific weak spots with focused exercises and real-world context.

Speaking is critical at this level—students need to move beyond written exercises to actually use French conversationally. Most classrooms can't provide enough one-on-one speaking time for each student to build confidence and fluency. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction gives students dedicated conversation practice in a low-pressure environment where they can ask questions, make mistakes, and receive immediate feedback on pronunciation and phrasing. Regular speaking sessions with a tutor accelerate progress far more than classroom instruction alone.

French pronunciation has several tricky elements for English speakers—nasal vowels, the guttural 'r' sound, and silent letters confuse many 7th graders. A tutor can model correct pronunciation repeatedly, listen to your speech in real-time, and give specific feedback on which sounds need work. They can also explain the rules behind French phonetics (like why certain letter combinations sound particular ways) so you understand the patterns, not just memorize sounds. This personalized attention is especially valuable because pronunciation errors often go uncorrected in large classrooms.

The best approach combines both. Understanding grammar rules—like verb conjugation patterns and adjective placement—gives you a foundation and helps you construct sentences intentionally. But natural usage comes from hearing and using French in context, which is why tutors often weave grammar explanations into real conversations and authentic materials. A tutor can explain why you say 'Je vais à l'école' (not 'Je vais au école') and then have you practice using it in different scenarios, so the rule becomes intuitive rather than just memorized.

Spaced repetition and using words in context are far more effective than memorizing lists. A tutor can introduce vocabulary through conversations, stories, or real-world scenarios relevant to your interests, which creates stronger memory connections than flashcards alone. They can also help you organize vocabulary by theme or function (how to order food, describe your day, ask for directions) rather than random lists, making it easier to recall words when you need them. Regular review sessions with new contexts keep words from fading.

Listening comprehension improves through repeated exposure to native-speed French and guided practice identifying key words and context clues. A tutor can play authentic materials (songs, short videos, podcasts) at appropriate levels, pause to explain unfamiliar phrases, and ask comprehension questions to build your skills gradually. They can also slow down their own speech strategically and teach you active listening techniques—like focusing on verb tenses or listening for specific vocabulary—so you're not just passively hearing French but actively processing it. This targeted practice bridges the gap between classroom listening exercises and real-world understanding.

Absolutely. Understanding French culture—holidays, traditions, social norms, and how language reflects values—makes learning more meaningful and memorable. For example, knowing that French greetings vary by relationship helps you use 'tu' versus 'vous' correctly, and understanding meal culture helps vocabulary about food stick. A tutor can weave cultural insights into lessons naturally, explaining not just what to say but why and when you'd say it in a French-speaking context. This approach builds both language skills and genuine appreciation for the culture, which increases motivation.

Look for tutors with fluency in French (ideally native or near-native proficiency), teaching experience with middle school students, and familiarity with 7th grade curriculum standards. They should understand common learning challenges at this level and have strategies for building confidence in speaking and listening. Experience with different learning styles is important too—some students need more grammar structure while others learn better through conversation and immersion. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have proven experience helping 7th graders build real French skills across all four language domains.
