Award-Winning French 2 Tutors serving Westchester, NY

...public school systems, and have worked with kids of all ages. Before joining Varsity Tutors, I began tutoring middle and high-school level Math, French and English to students throughout the city, and while I am comfortable tutoring in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about these three.

...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 - and Im still going to school myself. My background in the arts enables me to take novel approaches to asking questions, while my background in health care gives me a strong appreciation for arriving at evidence-based answers. That combination of discipline and creativity is something that...

...paint and draw, and even had a pretty good conspiracy theory regarding Jack the Ripper. He encouraged me to read the books that he kept beside his chair in the living room, always asking me questions, always pushing me to really think about things the way they are instead of the way we are told they should be. I believe that everyone has the potential to really make themselves into something, however this is an...

...the first time. It can become difficult to understand or comprehend, which then causes the student to shut down making it harder 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...

...sensory methods to help students listen to their own speaking voices and understand the language. I am fluent in French and use techniques such as Cloze stories, Mad Libs, and conversation. My tutoring experience includes my internship at the Alliance Francaise of Greenwich where I helped teach French to young children, and my volunteer work at the Port Chester YMCA where I helped elementary school students with their homework. I look forward to bringing students...

...of psychology, language, and communication to help others to find their voice. I am passionate about learning and communication, and the role that psychology and language play in the learning process. Since high school, I have tutored elementary through college-level students in a variety of subjects (primarily liberal arts.) Everyone has a unique learning style. As a tutor, I identify and utilize study techniques that each student feels works best for them. When a student...

...cultivate a balance between establishing a good rapport with my students while committing to doing hard work together. Finding this equilibrium is important for getting a gage early on as to what method(s) of learning will work best for the student. Considering we are amidst a pandemic and students' normal study habits may be compromised, I strive to be sensitive to each student's situation and accommodate accordingly. In my spare time I enjoy reading, practicing...

...on a daily basis to go to different schools and teach different subjects. Some days I work with a classroom that may have up to 30 students. It could be Primary, Middle, or High school students. Other times I work with one student for the school day. We work on all classroom subjects including math, reading, writing, social studies and others. My teaching style is to encourage participation. I want my students to ask questions....

...mine did not like algebra at all. I showed him how easy it is with 3 effective rules to master in algebra. Read-Follow-Do. Now he is taking calculus and is doing well. My previous experience as a tutor and my daily life as a student has enabled me to develop not only specific skills to be the best tutor, but also to be patient and understanding. This is because I have lived the frustration of...

...lets you tap into another set of human experiences, expression, emotion, history. I think the greatest reward in teaching French and language arts is helping a student connect with a text and gain access to someone else's experience, what someone else thought important enough to write down, and then how this connection can help reframe the reader's thinking - deepening, challenging, or shifting the ways our own thought. Apart from the study and appreciation of...

...institution. While I tutor French and English in addition to Spanish, Spanish is the language I'm most passionate about both because of my fascination for Latin American literature and culture as well as the fact that students are able to begin practicing the language as soon as they walk out the door and into the Spanish-speaking community. This real world application is at the heart of my teaching philosophy, and I have found that students...

...in Biotechnology and English, I recently graduated with a 3.85 GPA after seven years of work experience. My overall approach overall is to make learning as fun as it should be by raising the stakes and let a student's curiosity thrive. At any stage of education, seeing the connection between a subject and the real world is the key to understanding. With perspective, homework practically does itself and school is a breeze!

...adults. French is spoken in 29 different countries, and bilingual students are better able to appreciate cultural nuances and possess a better understanding of different cultures. I have helped students at the elementary school, high school, and university levels achieve their French language goals and vastly improve their vocabulary, grammar, conjugation, pronunciation, and cultural awareness. I'd love to help your kids fall in love with the French language and culture, and achieve their academic goals!

...was a whole different story. However, I battled through these struggles to become a straight A student in college (at Bowdoin, an elite NESCAC school in Brunswick, ME). Because of my personal issues with school, I know better than ever how to work with kids. I promise to never make them feel the way I felt when I just wasn't understanding something. I will stop at nothing to make sure your student walks away feeling...

...different topics and then coming back to them; or by doing creative projects and readings from games, films or media that makes them see links and patterns that they would not otherwise see. Some are visual learners, others respond to hearing concepts and rhythms and are more auditory; some are verbal and learn best by reading about a topic; some are physical doers and learn though experiments and for building and touching a 3-D geometric...

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. I am a native French and Dutch speaker (don't worry - my English is good, too!) but I also love studying and teaching sciences, including physics, general and organic chemistry, biology, as well as math and Latin.

...language are my research areas as well as my favorite topic of discussion. As such, I can work with both the North American and European dialects of the French language, making me a rather well-rounded candidate to assist with your French education.
