Award-Winning French Tutors in Bucks County, PA

...international affairs. I am passionate about teaching areas I focused on during my four years in Boston including history, government, and French but also have an established background in writing, literature, and English. I believe it is important to identify a unique approach for every student according to their specific needs because as I have learned, each student has individual strengths and difficulties. In my spare time I sail competitively, cook up new recipes, and...

...History with honors, and I received minor degrees in German and Global Studies. Since graduation, I have worked at a historical museum, travelled throughout California and Oregon as the guitarist of a surf band, and have been working at Bloomberg as a Financial Analyst at their Skillman, NJ campus. I tutored students throughout college and high school, working with elementary-secondary students, students with learning disabilities, and ESL adult learners. While I have tutored a broad...

...language acquisition and its influence on language learning in the classroom. My French instruction is differentiated based on students' needs and levels of proficiency, and I value culturally relevant speaking and listening practice above traditional grammar-based instruction. The 10 years I have spent building my instructional knowledge in teaching world languages, has allowed me to significantly hone my communication and student engagement skills. I look forward to working with a wide variety of students!... When it comes to teaching, I believe in maintaining a flexible, creative and above all encouraging environment for my students. Everyone has his or her own preferred learning style, and in order to achieve the best results possible, I encourage my students to participate in developing our lessons together. That way, they not only feel like they are in control of their education, but that they are supported and encouraged to continue growing.

...with a minor in Education. I earned a teaching certificate for German in New Jersey. Since then, I have taught students of all ages, including twelve years in public schools teaching 6th-12th graders. I taught adults in a community course and ran a tutoring center at a community college. I have also volunteered presenting German instruction at preschools and elementary schools on special celebrations for my children's classes. I have used a variety of teaching...

...specifically tutor H.S. and AP Biology and any mathematics up to Calculus III, including elementary and middle school math. There is nothing better than teaching how to build on fundamentals and explaining concepts in different ways until it "clicks" in a student's head! Having also taken a litany of standardized tests through my life, I am also available to tutor for the SAT and ACT. I love passing on the little tips and tricks I...

...Arts in History and Education. While my courses have generally concentrated on 20th-Century U.S. social movements, my senior thesis focused on critiques of the 1931 Paris Colonial Exposition. I have worked as a French tutor at Swarthmore College, helping students of all levels understand problematic assignments and prepare for tests. Although I enjoy tutoring a variety of disciplines, my favorite subjects to work on are French, English, and History. As a tutor, I always try...

...English Textual Studies and one in Philosophy. I am also getting a PhD in Philosophy. I have lived in several different states in the US (PA, FL, MD, CO, CT, and IL), and I have lived in other countries (Peru, Spain, Italy, and Mexico) and visited many more. I have two big dogs (an Old English Mastiff and a Newfoundland) and two striped cats. I love to do yoga and tai chi. I just love...

...more with them because they were fun, knew their country very well and could tell us about what was going on there (we listened to music, watched videos, read books and even performed in mini plays we had to write!). I try to emulate this. I am convinced that getting to know the culture of a country is tremendously helpful when it comes to learning a language. I fell in love with grammar in elementary...

My interest in French language and culture can be traced back to my first prolonged stay in France in 1981. I was placed with a modest family in the Southwestern part of the country, where I learned quickly that there was another way to live other than my affluent background. I was introduced to simple...

...all ages and learning abilities from grades four to sophomore year of college. My goal is to not only teach, but to inspire in all aspects and areas of growth. For this reason, I have worked with special needs children at a summer camp, coached a youth water polo team and a girl's club volleyball team, and have helped to develop and teach a clinical bioengineering program for undergraduate engineers. I am a current 3rd...
