...of the sentence, and nowhere else. Recognizing this fact renders comprehension and composition obstacles far more manageable. Furthermore, the two activities are inseparable: to write is to learn to read, and vice versa. Similarly, speaking bolsters facility with language on the page, and vice versa. For several years, I was the lead Writing Tutor at Bennington College, a school renowned for its literature department. While a student at Bennington, I studied literature, music, and French....

...of Baruch College. I received my Bachelor of Business Administration in Operations Management, with a minor in Spanish. Since graduating, I've tutored people of all ages, with varying levels of proficiency (i.e. beginners, etc.) In addition to grammar and literature, I've helped my students improve their conversational Japanese in everyday situations. My lessons also incorporate elements of Japanese culture, especially pop culture and anime/manga, and history. In my spare time, I enjoy playing piano, painting,...

...born and raised in Paris, France. And I lived in several countries including Spain and the United States. I also have a Masters in Translation FR-EN-SP. Yes I love foreign languages. With me you will learn native French in an interactive and positive environment in order to develop confidence in your oral capabilities. Learning French can seem daunting at first, but with a teacher patient like myself and clear explanations, it really gets easy.... I believe that there are many ways to learn and that the teacher has to adapt to a student's way of learning. After explaining a point, I like to use interactive exercises such as role play. I like to illustrate the point with a specific context so that what the student learns remains concrete and memorable.

...peer tutoring in the subject during my college years. When tutoring in Italian, French, or Psychology, I like to break down concepts into terms that are easy to understand and that incorporate examples and analogies so that they are easier to grasp.

I grew up in Belgium before moving to Los Angeles in 2010, and now I live in New York. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Bioethics and Natural Sciences and recently was accepted to medical school.

...born in California, but have lived all over the world including La Paz, Bolivia, Vanuatu, and Guam. I am fluent in Spanish and English and come from a Bolivian background. I am a sophomore at Columbia University and a double major in English and Creative Writing. I currently hold a 3.9 GPA. I am an avid reader and writer. I love to spend time with my family, especially with my four nieces and nephews.... I focus on fostering a relationship with my student that is easy-going and based in fun. I believe that a student will not be able to push themselves if they do not trust the tutor they are working with. Since tutoring sessions are outside of the classroom, they can be less stressful and more in-tune to the needs of the student than inside the classroom. I also believe in games as means of practicing memorization and time management, especially with younger students.

...has been struggling in the larger class environment. I believe that I explain language concepts clearly and in a way that students of all skill levels can understand. My students have told me over the years that I am a patient and encouraging teacher and that I make learning French fun. I love helping students realize that they CAN in fact learn French, even if they thought they couldn't! One of my 9th grade students...

...a year during my previous life as a Historian. When I'm not tutoring or working on my dissertation, I do some freelance writing. It's a cliche to say that my writing informs my teaching while my teaching improves my writing, but it's also true: the constant effort to improve my own work helps me to understand what my students are going through, while my work as a teacher and tutor gives me a fresh perspective...

...to learn. As a language tutor I want to help eliminate that stress and anxiety that students go through and make it a more pleasant learning experience. Languages enable us to speak with a diverse number of people and at the same time learn a bit of the culture that comes along with it. I not only want to help others speak other languages properly but understand the meaning in which certain things are said....
