Hello! I'm originally from New York City, but have been living in Minneapolis, Minnesota for the past 12 years. I'm thrilled to be back in NYC as a pre-med and Comparative Literature student at Columbia University. I completed my high school career at St. Paul Academy and Summit School, a small prep-school with a heavy emphasis on writing and discussion. I worked as the editor of my high school's national and state award-winning newsmagazine, The Rubicon, and have closely edited hundreds of drafts, worked one-on-one with a staff of 26 editors and writers (ages 15-18), and written a few articles too in between it all! I'm happiest learning and sharing my knowledge with people of all ages.I bring extensive, fruitful editing experience, SAT verbal expertise, as well as fluency in Spanish, my first language. Speaking and learning foreign languages is one of the greatest joys in my life; I'm currently refining French and taking "Intensive Portuguese for Spanish Speakers." It's a life-long process. And yet, I believe foreign languages are best learned in big, joyful leaps, most often with the patient and persistent help of a tutor.I set goals with my tutees and work steadily and optimistically, both with and alongside them, until we have met every goal. Sometimes this happens earlier than planned, sometimes later. I approach the study of language with intention yet flexibility. It loses its beauty and particularity the second discouragement spreads, the instant anxiety kicks in. I believe a good tutor must do more than teach content. She offers positive reinforcement and guidance, discerning aid every step of the way.Outside of academia, I act and sing in musicals and choirs, do improv comedy, visit art museums, and run around the city in pursuit of food. I like to eat. I also love reading, although it's harder and harder to make time for that. I enjoy few things more than helping students achieve mental break-throughs and grow more confident in the process. I'm excited to help you get where you want to go as efficiently and thoughtfully as possible.

I am a recent graduate of The University of Hawaii at Manoa. Go Warriors! I received my Bachelors of Environmental Design and Certificate of French in May of 2014. I have been working with children and young adults for over ten years. My experience counseling in an after school program for elementary aged children has helped me understand the psyche and concentration levels of this age group. I have worked with children who have had ADD/ADHD, and understand and am compassionate about the level of support needed to complete assignments and work towards finishing projects. While I am certified to tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Elementary Math, Essay Writing, and Homework Support. In my experience tutoring these subjects, my students creatively retained information through the multi-sensory approach I try to implement. I am a patient teacher and can motivate a student with out of the box problem solving while instilling an emphasis on the importance of organization. In my spare time, my husband and I enjoy camping with our dog, growing vegetables in our garden, and working out at our local gym.

I spent my undergraduate years at Whitman College, where I focused on dramatic literature. I also have an MA in history from Portland State University, which I used as a stepping stone into a PhD program at the University of Durham in the United Kingdom. A few years after I obtained my doctorate in early modern history, I went through the teacher training program at Lewis and Clark College and earned an MA in teaching.I am passionate about teaching the humanities, especially history, psychology and literature. I am equally passionate about teaching the skills each of these disciplines requires for mastery: critical thinking; reading and comprehension strategies; academic writing and effective research methods. My areas of expertise include American and European history (as well as historiography). I specialize in political and military history, and my interests touch upon issues such as conflict and warfare, colonialism, technology, social psychology and religion. I have taught a wide range of subjects, including British history, Reformation history and Western Civilization at the college level. My secondary education teaching experience includes AP European history, AP Psychology, AP US history, government, economics, global history and 9th-grade history for English Language Learners.I am also fluent in Latin, both medieval and classical, and because of that, I was able to learn French very quickly. I have tutored Latin to both college and high school students, and I have taught French to first year students as well as AP students.I believe that learning is an idiosyncratic process, and I believe every person has the right to an education that complements their individual needs. As such, I try to see my students as a whole picture, so I can cater to their strengths while helping them where they might struggle. With new students, I assess their initial basic knowledge so that together we can map where each student needs to go. This approach results in a plan that caters to each student's distinctive learning style.When not teaching, I love to get out of the city and into the outdoors. You can often find me camping in the mountains, fishing the lakes of the central Oregon Cascades or hiking the trails of the Columbia River Gorge. The city dweller in me does like the occasional day in town, whether its perusing book stores or seeing live music.

"Teaching is the greatest act of optimism."And I truly believe that. And for me, that optimism shines through in every lesson helping students build confidence, curiosity, and real-world communication skills.I'm a passionate and enthusiastic teacher with extensive experience working with learners of all ages from curious 4-year-olds to motivated seniors. I especially love working with young children and creating playful, engaging lessons that make learning feel like an adventure.I specialize in preparing students for German language exams at every level A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2, as well as the AP German exam. Whether you're studying for a test, boosting your academic performance, or getting ready to relocate to Germany, I'm here to help you succeed.My teaching style is interactive and conversational, designed to keep learners engaged and motivated. I believe grammar doesn't have to be dry in fact, I'll show you how fun it can be to master even our famous four German cases! I love bringing in real cultural insights about Germany and its people, so you're not just learning a language you're understanding a way of life.Lessons are personalized and goal-focused, with a strong emphasis on exam techniques, confidence building, and real-world fluency. I also provide support in calming nerves before big test days or big moves so you can show up as your best self, every time.

Anything is possible in life as long you put your mind to it. Success never comes easy and the harder it looks, the greater the fulfillment will be.I graduated from Mountain View College in Dallas- Texas with an Associates of Art and I have a TESOL/TEFL certification in English teaching from Global Leadership College. I am a native French speaker but along with my master in the French language, I also speak English, Spanish and Mina( a dialect of a West African country called TOGO). If you want to learn how to be fluent in French and in English, look no further.I love sharing my knowledge with people because knowledge is power and ignorance is death. I love learning in a fun environment so I like making everything I teach fun. See you in class .

Raised in France, I speak, write, and read French fluently. I am an experienced French speaker who is determined to teach students the most effective way to learn French. I have a passion for pedagogy and several different learning methods. This has led me to volunteering with clients from the State Departments and has helped many people from different backgrounds in the Washington DC area whether they have an upcoming exam or they are just visiting a French speaking country. I also tutored students in middle school and high school to improve their familiarity with French culture. I teach French literature and current events using my own materials like games and memory techniques to create an entertaining and enriching environment for students. I believe that there is a unique way in engaging students to learn language.I received my technical sales Engineering degree at the Institut suprieur d'tudes commerciales et de management in Paris, France. This degree allowed me to improve my sales and communications capabilities. I also received an MBA from the Virginia International University.I am detail oriented, creative, inventive, and cognizant of technical details. Furthermore, I am upbeat and enthusiastic. In my spare time, I like reading, running, visiting wineries and following local events.

I am currently a student at Washington University in St. Louis. I'm pursuing a degree in anthropology with a minor in french on a pre-health track. I have 5 years of teaching experience of students ranging in age from kindergarten to high school. I tutor a variety of subjects, but I prefer tutoring English, French, and math.

I am a graduate of Oberlin College and Wesleyan University and I am currently a PhD student at Harvard University. I received my BA in English, my BM in Jazz Studies, and my MA in Ethnomusicology. My PhD research is in West African music. I have many years of experience as a tutor, beginning as a writing tutor for a college writing center, then giving private music lessons, and working as a teaching assistant for undergraduate students in music and African studies courses. I tutor in many different areas, but my passion is in working with students in writing, literature, critical reading, music, and French. In working to prepare students for standardized tests, I can offer a wide variety of strategies for vocabulary, writing, and time management. As an educator, I am particularly interested in the transitions from high school to college, and from college into the professional world. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing and listening to music, hiking, playing soccer, and spending time outdoors.

Education: Wellesley College, Columbia Business School. About me: I'm a professional writer, with experience in speech writing, corporate writing, copywriting for brands and writing for television. Growing up, my favorite time was spent leading school clubs and I mostly enjoyed mathematics, history and literature. I believe that learning is about learning how you best interpret ideas. My goal is to help you find a nonchalant relationship with your passion and talent so that you can take on any subject. I was admitted to 10/11 elite colleges to which I applied and have worked with U.S. presidents, celebrities and leading national organizations.

I am a graduate of Kenyon College, with a Bachelors in Philosophy and a concentration in Legal Studies. I am originally from Montreal, Canada and grew up going to an international IB school, where I received a bilingual education in French and English. I am a native speaker of French, and I spent my time in college working as a Teacher's assistant for the Intro French Classes, teaching classes of students for 3 hours a week. I also worked as a French tutor to Intermediate and Intro students, helping teach them to communicate effectively.I am also an avid reader and writer, and am happy to help anyone in these subjects, having worked on both as a tutor in French and English.I spent my time in High School as a tutor to young students and have experience working with them on a variety of subjects, from math to reading to language. I believe that education is the key to success and fulfillment in this world, and this passion drives me to be the best tutor I can be.
