Award-Winning French 2 Tutors serving Norwalk, CT

...culture, political theory, and geography. I also follow international events very closely. I see these subjects as different facets of the great story of human history. It is impossible to truly understand the modern world without a grasp of centuries of history as well as the political theories that inform our view of society. Furthermore the history of a culture is written in its language. Without a knowledge of geography there is no way to...

...in underprivileged spaces for the full 2016/2017 academic year. I am excited to have this opportunity, because I can use my love of learning to impact students in spaces that lack the necessary resources. Varsity Tutors is another stepping stone to complement this experience. The more exposure I get to mentoring different types of tutees, the stronger and more prepared I am to be a top tier mentor--a skill I will most definitely need for...

...I have taught students from the 7th to the 12th grades. I have always had the motto Be the teacher you would want your child to have This motto has served me well. This philosophy has allowed me to excel as an instructor. Seeing my students improve through the the years is something that gives me great joy and pride. There is no better joy as a teacher than to see a student succeed.

...I began privately SAT tutoring in the local area a few months ago and was reminded of how well suited my personality and my intellectual curiosity are to teaching. I always loved taking standardized tests; I thought of the problems as fun puzzles. And I love sharing that outlook and enthusiasm with students who are trying to improve their SAT performance. I find it completely invigorating to see students grasping the concepts that underlie the...

...the help of an older sister who was studying it in college. (Thanks, Sis!) As a graduate student, my advisor asked me to teach a year-long course in electronic music, a subject that at the time I didnt know well at all. (Thanks, Dr. Stokes!) Thats when I really learned how to learn and how to teach - fast. Since then, I have taught a variety of subjects to everyone from preschoolers to adult learners...

...by earning my master's degree in Language Sciences and French Didactics. I am a native French speaker with nearly four years teaching experience within the language. I have worked with students of all ages. My philosophy for teaching is to tailor my lesson to the needs of the students I tutor.

...and writing. The study of History is my passion, and there are few things that I enjoy more than getting the opportunity to share this passion with others. As part of my History Honors program in undergrad, I was able to help tutor other students in these subjects, including preparing for exams. I also have experience in providing peer reviews and constructive critiques in graduate level writing in multiple fields. Coming from a family of...

...subjects. I bring a unique way of approaching the subject that is meant to keep the student engaged and learning ranter than forcing them to recite a bunch of uninteresting facts over and over. I tutor a wide variety of subjects that I'm personally and professional passionate about. I was a comparative literature/religious studies dual major in college so I'm very familiar with history, writing, and literature analysis. In high school I took 8 AP...

...business in high school, and I've been tutoring students for 5 years now. I've worked with students at all different levels, from 2nd grade reading to 12th grade physics. Most of my students were in junior high or high school, and I focused especially on math and English. I also have experience helping with standardized test prep: I'm a national merit scholar, and I'm happy to work on ACT, SAT, SAT II or PSAT preparation.

I believe what makes me a great tutor is my considerable patience, as I know that French can be an almost-nonsensical language to learn at times, but also that it is possible to master it with time and a lot of practice. Moreover, I'm friendly and open and willing to find new, practical ways to help people speak, read, write - and even enjoy the beautiful complexity of the French language.

A good tutor is one who helps a student enough that he or she may catch his/her own fish. An outstanding tutor will create a student who can surpass the tutor.

I consider myself an interactive yet patient tutor who will adapt to each student's needs and pace. I am eager to help students of all ages improve their language skills in Spanish, English and French!

...John's University. Throughout my academic career, I have found that I enjoy helping others succeed, and that is my goal for all of my students!

I believe students are capable of whatever they want to achieve, and I would like to help them...

...worked with these methods diligently and they were so effective that in college I won the Prix D'Honneur in the category of "Spoken French." Today, many years out of college, most of the French people that meet me either think that I am a French native or that I was born in a French-speaking country which brings me so much joy! It is this love of the language and these methods that I hope to...

...medical school in the fall and have experience in the application process. I enjoy providing advice and feedback to individuals who are on a similar track. I am the oldest of 4 children, therefore I have a lot of experience with helping young students learn, as well as a lot of patience. Most recently, I worked as a STEM instructor at Launch Math and Science Centers in NYC on the Upper West Side. That experience...

...teaching license. After that, I taught 3rd and 4th grade where my students earned best in state scores on their end of year state test. In fact, my students in my final year of teaching were ranked #1 and #2 in the state of Massachusetts on their Math and ELA state tests, respectively. In addition to teaching, I have spent the last 1.5 years working on ELA curriculum design and teacher development for a network...

...the personalized guidance of great tutors in my past and I really enjoy seeing students push themselves and develop an appreciation for subject areas or even the mental exercise of test-taking thanks to tutoring.

I was an active tutor in high school in mathematics and history and as...
