Award-Winning French Tutors in Clifton, NJ

Last year, I worked as an English teacher in Tokyo. There, I cultivated a student-centered teaching style, where I serve as a guide for my students. I absolutely love to teach. I'm from Portland, Oregon, and in my free time, I love to read, write, and watch sports.

...a stern master. Regurgitation of facts is not the same as digestion of knowledge; I believe a tutor must set up circumstances for students to genuinely engage with the material as individuals. I specialize in reading, writing, literature, and public speaking. I wholeheartedly believe that reading and writing both happen at the level of the sentence, and nowhere else. Recognizing this fact renders comprehension and composition obstacles far more manageable. Furthermore, the two activities are...

...the following three years working as a French teacher for Chicago Public Schools. I then lived in Paris for a year and obtained my master's degree through New York University in Paris. This experience inspired me to continue my education, and I am currently a PhD candidate at Northwestern University. I am writing my thesis on 1930's French film from New York City. Before moving to New York, I spent two years teaching Beginning and...

...Health in environmental health sciences. For my undergraduate, I attended Fordham University and received a Bachelors degree in both biology and anthropology. I know how difficult advanced science and math classes can be on top of other studies, and I am really looking to work through these issues with potential students. I am available for sessions in biology, chemistry, physics, as well as a range of math levels. I am also available for SAT, PSAT,...

...believer that true passion for what you teach is essential to being a great tutor. It's sometimes easy for students to forget what learning means to them in an often stressful and frustrating world of standardized tests and and final exams, but a helpful tutor can really make the difference by presenting the material in a way that is simple and clear and by approaching it with methods that meet each student's needs. I know...

...about language processes in the brain. During my undergraduate studies, I learned that those who cultivate multiple languages show greater activation in their left hemisphere, the seat of language production, than monolinguals. For this reason, I am particularly excited about passing my knowledge in French to students of all levels, helping them to discern the principles between their native and second languages. Personally, I studied in a French curriculum until the 9th grade before moving...

...International Affairs. I focused my studies on 20th Century European History and Global Security Policy. During college, I spent a semester in Brussels, Belgium, where I honed my French and ate far more chocolate than is ever advisable. After graduation, I moved to China, where I taught English to high school students and started a tutoring business for kids from ages 5-17. While I tutor on broad range of subjects, my favorites are history and...

...completed Columbia University's Certificate program in Business, and earned a Master's degree in Finance from Claremont McKenna. Currently I am working towards a JD at NYU's School of Law. Starting in college, I tutored students in economics and statistics, and also work with clients on subject test areas for the Advanced Placement exams, as well as standardized test preparation such as for the SAT I and II, GRE and LSAT. I especially enjoy helping students...

...student with extensive tutoring experience. I have helped elementary and middle school students improve their overall academic performance and their grades on state tests, in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. I am fluent in French and I enjoy teaching tricks on handling French grammar and literature. My goal is to help students overcome their apparent weaknesses, and support them in acquiring a sense of mastery of the subjects they are interested in. I strongly...

...intermediate students, as well as students in advanced levels of French. I enjoy tutoring one-on-one, because I am able to focus solely on the needs of one individual. As a school teacher, I have been amazed at how effective one or two private extra help sessions can be for the student who has been struggling in the larger class environment. I believe that I explain language concepts clearly and in a way that students of...
