Award-Winning French 3 Tutors serving Westchester, NY

...of mine since I was able to count, and my interest my other subjects of knowledge have developed over the years. Outside of academics, I am a musician. I have played percussion from sixth grade and throughout college, and I hope to continue this passion in a more informal setting. I played snare drum on the drumline throughout high school and college, and that was a major highlight of my educational experience. I also enjoy...

...requires a new, unique approach when tutoring. Whether they want to raise their test score or if they just are not getting the subject, above all, I understand a student's individual needs to best know how as a tutor, I can best help them reach their goals. I graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a bachelors degree in Literature and have lived in New York just over a year. My interests include...

...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 teachers, education has always been a central value in...

I believe that I am a good fit for this tutoring position because I have been a teacher for 27 years. I had the privilege of teaching at all the levels. I was able to motivate my high school students in a way that made them submit themselves to the rigor of the French language and its culture. As a result, I was able to successfully prepare the for the French and Spanish Regents Exams.

...Some examples I am proud of: I taught one adult student good basic conversational and written French in 6 months. Two of my students whom I tutored in a few subjects each for several years in High School went from being B/B+ students to gaining admission to the University of Chicago and Smith College. Just as important to me however are the struggling students who for the first time pass a subject or who simply...

...worked with a sixth grader on math, and continued up through college, where I volunteered at an after school tutoring program for kids in an underserved community. A language nerd, my favorite subjects to tutor are French and English writing skills, but I am equally confident in SAT and ACT test prep and math, science, history, and other subjects at the high school level. Beyond just helping improve students standardized test scores, I strive to...

...advanced levels and can help you improve your AP Test scores. I have also helped adults prepare themselves for trips to French speaking countries. I believe that communication starts with the correct pronunciation in order to understand and be understood. Therefore I make a point of teaching my students how to correctly pronounce words which can be somewhat difficult for Anglophones. I also emphasize on teaching the language and culture using authentic sources to gain...

...easy". I love teaching French because I believe that multilingual children grow into globally aware and culturally sensitive 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...

...in French, I moved to Nice, France for two years to teach university-level English. Prior to this, I taught French in Hoboken, NJ for students ages 5-10 for an academic year. During my undergraduate career, I minored in Spanish as a nod to my Hispanic heritage and worked with the Permanent Mission of the Dominican Republic to the United Nations. I am a strong advocate for an individualistic teaching approach; no one student learns the...

...It is this very same curiosity which I hope to instill in my peers. Trust me, I know that learning about integrals, doing titrations, or reading "Moby Dick" isn't always going to be fun. But there is something innately and remarkably satisfying about LEARNING. It's the same sense of accomplishment and joy that you get when you drop a few seconds off your 5k PR. When you finally play your recital piece at full-tempo. When...

...the underlying rules of grammar that link all languages. I've also traveled a lot, and have lived for chunks of time in most of the countries whose language I speak. Language is not only a form of communication, it's about culture. That understanding of culture I could bring to the student I'm tutoring, to give them more depth of knowledge of the language. I've also been trained in the idiomatic pronunciation (diction) of these languages...

...have always been passionate about the opportunity to explore new cultures and foreign languages. It all began when I was a high school student in my native Germany and became intrigued by the French language and culture after participating in a student exchange program in Aix en Provence. This has remained a constant throughout my life as I have taught French, German and English to students from Pre-K to Adult in a variety of settings...

I am a Manhattan-based tutor passionate about working with students. I lived in Paris, France for over three years where I received a Master's in History and Literature from Columbia University and a Master's in Audiovisual History from La Sorbonne. I also hold a BA in History and Political Science from University of Wisconsin-Madison. I currently work for Bard College as a graduate program coordinator where I work closely with Master's and Doctoral students.

...and painted onto walls. The existence of the Catalan language really set the region apart from the rest of Spain and gives it an autonomous fervor. I also developed an interest for the Catalan language which I would love to further. From reading 'La familia de Pascual Duarte' and from my recent study of ideologies as part of my Politics A level, I have noticed the way in which Jos Cela encompasses the conservative and...

...of both English and French with four years of experience. In both languages, I focus on grammar skills, essay writing, and standardized test preparation, especially the SAT and SAT II. I most often tutor high school and college students, but have found that young children are also some of my favorite to teach! I have additional experience with ESL students and those with learning disabilities, including dyslexia, ADHD and cognitive impairments. Language arts are a...

...While on Colby's campus, I spent much of my spare time working as an assistant to one of my professors on his manuscript, as both an editor and a researcher. During my spare time, I sang in the chamber choir, cooked, wrote poetry, and read (too many favorite books to count, but right up there are Brideshead Revisited, Persuasion, and Love in the Time of Cholera). Since moving to New York, I've added yoga to...

...my arts education from private classes in music, and visual arts, from American Universities in Europe and reputed International institutions. I hold a B.A. and an MFA in Arts, Communications and Certificates in Performance. I tutor in French and Spanish languages, arts and literature. I believe in the power of self-confidence and motivation. Feeling supported by your tutor and believing you can do it are basic foundations to build your skills upon.... If your desire is...

...sometimes hilarious but always memorable, have made me realize how privileged I am to be a French speaker. This honor of speaking French is the result of being born in a francophone country as well as having completed most of my education in this language. Thanks to these years of studies in French, I have mastered the rules and principles of this language such as its grammar, orthography, or conjugation. In addition, I have developed...

...became much more engaging when I understood its use and broader context within the Francophone world. This is the type of knowledge that I plan to share with my own students. What they are studying can actually be exciting and useful. I was lucky enough to study abroad twice during college. Living in France dramatically improved my language skills. I became a much more confident speaker, and developed a sense of spoken French outside of...

I am a recent graduate of Columbia University with a degree in English literature. I have tutored a variety of subjects for the past six years, including English, French, Writing, college applications, and test prep. I think that with the right attitude, any subject can be interesting and enjoyable, and I hope to instill the same sense of passion for these subjects in my students.
