...and teaching foreign languages, and I hope to share that with my students. In my experience students particularly enjoy (and benefit from) learning and exploring new cultures while learning the language itself. As the child of a teacher I am a strong believer in the importance of education and all of the opportunities it offers to students. I finished my MA in May with a thesis on French fairy tales, but I also enjoy reading...

...planned lessons that my club members and I used to teach pre-school classes. The topics included historical events and science. Working with preschoolers was interesting as you could see the curiosity in their eyes. These lessons gave them a spark, and the importance of this spark is evident in students of all ages. I believe if someone ever lost it, they can get it back when they find confidence in the material they're studying. I...

There I tutored Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Spanish and all high school levels of English.

...level of academic excellence is expected at some of the best universities in the country. All of these courses, with the exception of logic, required students to write essays.

...people achieve their educational goals and succeed in an academic setting. I first began substitute teaching in the 1990s and felt like I was really making an impact on students' motivation to learn. I completed my student teaching in Spanish in 2003 at East Hartford High School (Connecticut). Soon thereafter, I began working for a private company as a tutor for students with special needs, as well as those with English as their second language...

...as a Foreign language. I've had a lot of other odd jobs that involved writing and teaching. Eventually I got a teaching credential in science: biology because this was the subject closest to my B.A. I tutor all the natural sciences, as well as English/ESL. My favorite subjects to tutor will always be Italian, science, and writing. Italian is close to my heart because of the years I lived in Italy. But science is the...

...to learn, and about any passions or concerns the student has. Second, I present a plan of how I think we should go about mastering the needed knowledge, get feedback, and begin to see what teaching tools have optimal resonance.

My content areas are Foreign Language and Music and I love to tutor both. I specialize in Spanish from beginning to advanced...

...In addition to tutoring I work in an active cancer research lab, and have hands-on experience with microbiology and molecular biology techniques. I like to teach with real-world examples, mnemonic devices, and visual aids; making connections and drawing one's own conclusions are lasting tools in learning that far surpass what memorization and rote work can achieve. I am also fluent in several languages, and enjoy teaching Italian, Spanish, and English as a second language, using...

...learning a language as "extra", and sometimes as a chore, but it's a skill that will benefit them for years to come. It's important to get to know what motivates a learner and what interests them to find out how those things might assist in their learning process. I like to spend the first time meeting with a student to find some ways to spark their interest and show them what learning a language can...

I have kept all of my school books, tests, exams, homework and exercise sheets since the 11th grade. I have a lot of experience teaching languages to children and teenagers. I strongly believe that the student must surpass his teacher. Therefore, today, I am proud to say that the eleven-year-old Vietnamese girl and boy that I tutored...

...learning French against my will as a requirement at the University of Minnesota College of Liberal Arts. A funny thing happened there, however, as I discovered all that knowledge I previously deemed useless started to fall into place. I was retaining more than I thought I was.
