Award-Winning French Tutors in Pasadena, CA

...French students both formally in a classroom setting, and informally in private settings. I am most excited to be a tutor in Biology and French because they are my two favorite subjects. My tutoring style tends to be tailored to the individual student as much as possible, and I prefer to adjust my methods based on the students learning style. My regular hobbies include reading and collecting books (I love finding books in foreign languages!),...

...imagine that I would use it to teach...abroad! For one academic year, I taught English to middle school and high school students in France; the experience proved immensely enriching. Not only was I able to immerse myself in a culture that I was passionate about (I had also been a French minor), but also I returned to the United States with a new sense of self: I wanted to teach. My philosophy for teaching is...

...my peers in college, and I use a variety of creative methods to appeal to each group. For children, I realize that a strict, but also fun and laid back atmosphere makes them most receptive to learning! As for people around my age group and teens, I find a way to find what interests them and connect the material to that. In this way, I effectively help the people I tutor with whatever they need....

...awarded the Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française (French equivalent of the TOEFL) and am now completely fluent in French. I am uniquely situated to teach French grammar, pronunciation, conversation and oral/written comprehension, having painstakingly learned each aspect of this marvelous language during my time in France.

I am a native French speaker, have been a tutor with kids after school to assist them with their homework, created some activities in French for schools (singing French songs, cooking lessons). I used to work also with French adults when I lived in France and in London to guide them in finding a job and an apartment too. Friendly, I love working with people and help them to achieve their goals.

...a teaching fellow. Every student has the potential to excel, but for whatever reason of stress or self-doubt, they do not succeed. I would like to help change student perspectives of their own mental capacity to succeed by showing them *simple*, but extremely effective, studying methods to begin mastery of any subject area. I tutor SAT/GRE test prep, as well as writing in general, biology, and French. However, my favorite subject to teach is ecology...

...smile on a student's face when he or she finally understands a problem. I have tutored Math, Science, English, and GED prep, in addition to spending two years throughout my time at Cornell as an Introductory Psychology Teaching Assistant. I have spent a lot of time working one-on-one with students, getting to know various personalities, and learning the best ways to facilitate comprehension. The connection between teacher and student is what I find to be...

I graduated with a BA in English from UC Irvine, and I am currently a graduate student in English Literature at UCLA. I love history, literature, and language, and helping others to experience them! ... Learning happens when students feel empowered - the job of the teacher is to empower them and provide direction.

...literature, grammar and composition, math from elementary school through Algebra 2 and Geometry, and ISEE preparation. My expertise in Spanish and English comes from years of translating and especially editing translations (nine years). My expertise in math comes from me being a bit of a nerd (ok - maybe more than a bit). I first tutored algebra and geometry while I was still in high school. More recently, I have been tutoring my own daughters...
