Award-Winning French Tutors in Washington DC

I recently returned from Paris where I attended law school and worked in a large law firm. My work has involved extensive French translation, and I have tutored many people learning English as a second language. I also used to be a French tutor at the high school level. Currently, I work as an independent consultant in international development, which gives me a fairly open and flexible schedule.

...word genders. For instance, I have lists of French words, categorized by gender, which have a picture of the word with a gender specific article of clothing on it. They range from a picture of a mouth with lipstick, "la bouche," to a movie theater with a top hat, "le cinma." I am also well experienced in how to properly approach timed writings as well as essay writing. In my AICE/AP Language and Composition class,...

I'm an experienced tutor with a myriad of life experience. I am fluent in French, love to discuss literature and have experience in tutoring ESL and primary school reading, and writing as well. I enjoy tutoring students and helping them with their educational endeavors. My goal is to stick with you until we get it right! I look forward to working with you!

...Education in all aspects is my passion, and I believe that students who are instilled with problem-solving skills and a drive to take control of their own learning are those who will succeed. I tutor Chemistry, Physics, Algebra, and Pre-Calculus. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry because I initially struggled as a high school chemistry student, but instead of giving up, I learned valuable critical thinking skills and a sense of perseverance which resulted...

...in Geneva, Switzerland. In my spare time, I like to run, read, cook, and watch sports with my friends (go saints!). My favorite thing to talk about is food and I can make some pretty awesome homemade mac & cheese. I have a knack for languages: I speak French, German, and Italian, and I am learning Spanish and Arabic. I am a French tutor for Varsity Tutors and whethr you are beginner or advanced, I...

...many years now, and I enjoy it because it helps me rediscover and play with language concepts. For the past nine years or so, I have tutored. My first tutoring experience was as a volunteer reading tutor at the Howard University Middle School of Mathematics and Science. It was a challenging experience because of the size of the classes assigned to each volunteer tutor. This helped me determine that I preferred to work in a...

...I have worked as a proofreader for a court reporter, as a departmental assistant editing academic papers for professors and as a pro bono editor of many college essays and cover letters for friends and family. Finally, I have also coached others in Public Speaking, as I was a competitive public speaker for a number of years and also hold multiple degrees from the National Forensics League (the national public speaking/debate organization). I love academia...

...and LSAT. I have significant experience as both a one-on-one high school tutor during college and teaching high school students after college. I find that I am always able to make the material simple and relatable for the student that I am tutoring - it is a question of presenting the material in a manner that is easy to understand. In addition, I am very patient, friendly, and easy to talk to. My tutoring style...

...in college and happy to help other students grow. I am a Psychology major and tutor when asked. I first got interested In Psychology through reading. When we read about these heinous villains committing evil acts we always ask ourselves "why? Why do they feel the need to do this?". And that's when I entered my first Psychology class in high school. We learn not only about mental disorders and psychopharmacology, but to understand why...

...that a student will understand. When a student is having difficulty with a grammatical concept, I begin by explaining it with reference to concepts that they do understand; I then guide them through creating example sentences with the concept until I am confident that they understand the concept and can identify and use it in all of the contexts in which it might appear. I also have experience tutoring writing, biology, ISEE vocabulary, general vocabulary,...

...other options. Within a few months, I found my way to Wall St. as a financial journalist for Standard & Poor’s. While the job had been a thrilling learning experience, I knew that sitting in front of a computer all day hardly made a positive impact on anyone. However, that experience, combined with my many journalism internships, have qualified me to be the faculty advisor of The View. I am now in my tenth year...

...break down complex passages in standardized testing, and is an invaluable skill for any profession. The best learning comes from finding your passion and relating that passion to subjects you may not necessarily like at first. I find that students who are interested in the content of material are able to pick up high level skills very quickly, and are motivated to think about learning in their free time. For that reason, I target my...

...to the lesson, no matter the level of French of the students. I believe in communicating as much as possible in French in order to develop fluency. I can be very animated and creative when it comes to expressing myself so that my students understand the language!

...graduate from UMBC .I graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in Biology, Psychology and a Spanish certificate. I am also a native French speaker. All the tutoring I will be able to do will focus on those main areas. I am a very motivated individual who not only seeks to learn, but also to share my knowledge. I try to adapt to different learning styles because I understand that not everyone learns the same way....

...I also helped with translation of English into Spanish for immigrants from Central America employed by local restaurants and construction contractors. While I enjoy History and American Literature immensely, I am most passionate about tutoring students who are interested in the improvement of their performance in either Spanish or French. I have always felt an affinity for teaching foreign language as my grandfather taught Spanish at Berkeley in California and my mother taught high school...

...of learning a language. An alumna of Smith College, I spent several years in Germany and France as a university student (studying art history and French culture). Simply put, I enjoy exploring languagelearning the nuances of vocabulary, grammar, and phonetics. And, as I often tell myself, learning a language isn't hard: children across the world do it. (I have to remind myself of this, as I'm learning Japanese!) I tutor pupils in both French and...

I hope that's enough to give an idea of who I am and how I...
