Award-Winning French Tutors in Gainesville, FL

"Teaching makes me stay in a sort of state of enlightment." I have been a language facilitator for over 20 years. I hold a PhD. in Philosophy in Spanish from Florida International Unversity and a Masters of Arts from The University of Florida.... Since not everyone studies language or literature for the same reason, nor learns in quite the same way, I have found that the most effective motivational tool for students is to tailor each...

...American senior student at the University of Florida. I'm currently majoring in Biological Sciences. I'm hoping to mainly tutor both French and Maths (Up to Pre-Calculus) with an interest in also teaching World History. Tutoring all of these subjects is both fun and easy for me, as I have previously tutored them in France with...

...knowledge of a subject. Students are able to help other students on a convenient and personable level. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy kayaking with friends or spending a day at the horse farm. On the rainy day, I prefer to stay inside and work on my graphic designs. I enjoy finding a balance between exploring...

...French and Russian specialization. Though I have tutored in many different subjects, as a fluent speaker, my specialty is French. I have spent 6 years studying French, and I have taught French to ages 7-17 through immersion at a French immersion summer camp, Lac du Bois French Language Village. I am passionate about imparting French...

...year old girl. French came to me when I was in high school and I needed to take a foreign language. It was either that or Spanish, and they always said the Spanish classes were full. That didn't bother me, since I always loved European culture and French was at the top of the list....

...and learning new things. I especially love being able to pass this knowledge on and help students gain confidence and be able to perhaps map out their futures and understand what their strengths are and what subjects they may be the most interested in. I'm a rather relaxes and easy going person, so I think...

...helping others to learn them. In college, I studied for a semester in the south of Spain and lived with a family there. It was there that I learned the true power of being able to communicate in foreign languages. Whatever your goals may be - whether it's improving your grades in a course, or...

...fluency and contemporary usage. (Sometimes textbooks age poorly in how they teach slang.) My pedagogical style is process-based and goal-oriented. I like students to set a goal (or several), collaborate with me on a process to achieve it, and then put the plan into action with individualized methodology and assessment. In my spare time, I...

...to meet the student where they're at and go from there. I find that this way we can build a productive tutoring relationship where I can help individualize learning to each person's particular learning style. Outside of academic interests, I enjoy cooking, being with friends and family, traveling the world, and looking as ridiculous as...
