...bachelor's degree in French and Francophone Studies, for which I wrote my thesis on the international art exchanges between Paris, New York and Dakar, Senegal.

Since graduation, I have worked at a public school in Harlem as the College Counselor working with students from grades...

...range of subject areas during college, including languages (I have native fluency in Chinese and French - and have also tutored beginner to intermediate Spanish, Arabic and Russian), math (through calculus), intro micro- and macroeconomics, Statistics, and test prep (ACT, SAT, GRE, APs, and select IB subjects). I also have experience tutoring graduate students with ESL. I love getting to know my students and understanding how they study best. I tailor my teaching style and...

...and middle school students as a math tutor. I am passionate about tutoring because of my own life long love of learning, and because I believe that all children are capable of accomplishing amazing things if they have a committed support system. I tutor reading, writing, math, economics, french and test prep. Over a broad range of subjects, I particularly enjoy tutoring reading and writing. In my spare time, I enjoy practicing yoga and exploring...

...degree in Linguistics and in French, with a minor in American Sign Language. While a student at NYU, I took advantage of America Reads, a fantastic work-study opportunity where I was able to work as a classroom tutor and student teacher in several classrooms around Manhattan. I was also lucky enough to complete a semester abroad in Paris, where I took courses (taught in French) on culture, politics, and literature taught by professors from partnered...

...since I was old enough to read and I have a Russian heritage that can help out with colloquialisms and grammar. Languages and linguistics are fascinating to me and I don't get to speak mine enough, so please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced calculus). Yet, I've also been reading since I was old enough to hold...

...be to learn, and especially speak, a foreign language. But not only did I learn French, in my last job I used French often to speak with foreign government officials and even briefly interpreted for a Member of Parliament. So no matter how frustrating you find learning French to be or preparing for a standardized test or learning math to be, I can assure you if I can do it, you can too!... One of my...

...avoid falling for the tricks they like to put in the answers. Once we've gone over that, it's simply a matter of doing practice problems until you've got it. Every test will have different strategies, but you can expect this general approach for the ACT, SSAT, and any other standardized test. English is the subject that I think most students struggle with because it's very open-ended. The most important thing for students is to learn...

...that must be conveyed in an essay. An author utilizes these same focal points to craft a powerful written work. When an assignment comes along, the anxiety to perform that it creates can nullify the student's mastery of these three basic ideas that will make for a great essay when used correctly. My job as a tutor is to teach that structure and allow the student to see how easy it can be to efficiently...

...writing struggles. Having studied a foreign language for more than ten years, I am very attuned to the English language as well. My teaching style primarily includes a lot of visual presentation, and putting knowledge into practice through questions and activities. I am constantly striving to adapt my teaching methods for all students. My availability is very flexible, so please contact me even if your schedule doesn't appear to work with mine.... My philosophy of teaching...

...conceptual framework behind these problems, so that they learn to find solutions by whatever means they prefer. As indicated by my degrees at the beginning, I am incredibly passionate about film and film studies I am a huge movie buff. But perhaps the most important thing I can say about myself is that I don't believe that any subject is out of reach for any student. It's just about finding a way through the jargon...

...concentration in French and Francophone Studies. At Carleton, I gained experience teaching critical thinking and writing skills through my work at a summer writing program for high school students. After graduating, I taught English at the middle school and high school levels in Lyon, France, while simultaneously improving my conversational French. I will be living in Washington DC for the summer before starting a Ph.D. program in English literature at Cornell University in the fall....

...school in technology policy. I began tutoring in high school, and have since continued enjoyed helping my peers to see a puzzle in a new light. From four summers as a leadership camp counselor, I have gained confidence working one-on-one with a student to help them consider new perspectives, and from four years of discussion sections in college where I presented solutions to the class I have learned to present my work cleanly and comprehensibly.

I am a student at the University of Kansas majoring in Political Science and minoring in French. I am qualified to tutor for many AP Courses (U.S. Government, U.S. History, and French Language) in addition to ACT and further language and English tutoring. I am not far removed from these courses and tests and am therefore able to help students uniquely as I remember being in there situations.

...involved in STEM academics and research mentorship as well as a translation program from and to English outside of class. I speak Japanese and French, and I have taken the PSATs, SATs, 10 APs, and the GREs successfully. I would be willing to help with any of these subjects, with math, science, and languages being more of my strong suit, and I would be willing to drive to a location as well as do online...

My main areas of speciality are French and English writing, reading, and grammar. In addition to scoring perfectly on the SAT Writing and Verbal sections, I have completed graduate-level coursework and an honors thesis at Northwestern University.

I believe strongly in assessing strengths, and using these areas of strength and confidence...

...beginning to work with Varsity Tutors in August of 2014, I worked in a K-8 school as an intervention math teacher. There, I tutored elementary- and middle-school students in math in small groups. Working in that setting taught me more about how to explain abstract concepts simply and creatively, and about how to use quizzes and evaluations to track student progress. During college, I helped my peers learn French both individually and in small groups;...

...teach. The key to my tutoring approach lies in my experience with teaching (and learning) a broad range of subjects. Each student has a totally unique mental approach, and each approach is well suited to certain subjects more than others. To a student who is more humanities-inclined, a science subject may appear challenging at first, but can be made much easier to understand if the student can first be taught to think like a scientist....

...honors thesis in Geopolitics. Although I approach most subjects with enthusiasm, I have always been especially passionate about the humanities. Back in University Park, I tutored students in English, French, ESL, and I was the teacher's assistant for three years for Geography 495B, a cultural geography course. I also worked at the CIU-10 Development Center for Adults, where I taught lessons in geography, English (reading/writing), and test preparation. I spent the first half of 2014...

I have a passion for helping others find...
