...grade students at The Lycee Francais of New York, The Spence School, The Nightingale Bamford School, and LaGuardia High School. For the past 4 years, he has tutored hundreds of students one-on-one for the SSAT, ISEE, and SAT II Math Subject Tests (I and II). He also advises students applying to performing arts conservatories and coaches students on their college application essays. Johann is a proud graduate of Northwestern University, Choate Rosemary Hall, and the...

...studied French Literature at New York University because of my passion for literature, creativity, and expression. Learning a new language opens up more than just a new literary world but also 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...

...and help you through the process can make a difference. Having been fortunate enough to have dedicated teachers and mentors help me through my own education, I want to do the same for you! Whether it be test prep tricks and tips, working on college essays, formatting resumes, learning to interview well, or just getting academic help in your classes to make sure you get the best grades you can get, I want to help...

...I believe in the power of fluid conversation to reinforce grammatical concepts and facilitate thematic investigation. I am an editing enthusiast, and I love collaborating with students and empowering them to convey meaning in more compelling and polished ways. I feel most proficient when engaging with high school students and the nuanced subject matter they address, but my experience tutoring children at elementary and middle school levels enables me to interact comfortably with students of...

...outgoing "people person" and that has helped me to make my students feel comfortable and to gauge how they learn best: by repetition on a regular basis or by going over 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...

...test-taking thanks to tutoring. I also believe that tutoring a subject area is the greatest way to maintain and develop understanding of its material for both the student and the tutor. I was an active tutor in high school in mathematics and history and as I take more classes in college, I look forward to tutoring students in those in which I understood the material really well. In my spare time, I enjoy reading about...

...and grew up in France and I've always loved tutoring students my passion and my knowledge. I have been tutoring for over 10 years now to different age groups (from 7 to 45 years old) and have always adapted my tutoring approach according to the individual student. I believe each student is different and requires an individualized tutoring. Business, finance, economics and accounting has been a passion of mine for some years now. I love...

...Media Studies and Psychology. Since graduation, I have been working in Television while remaining passionate about French and helping others achieve their language learning goals. I'm a proponent of education in languages and cultures beyond one's own, as I find learning to understand and communicate with one another to be an particularly valuable and global skill. As I tutor in French Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Grammar, I strive to impart this acknowledgement and appreciation to...

...a degree in Advertising and Theater. I have been a teacher's assistant on and off for over five years now. In my opinion and through my experience over the years, I must say patience is one of the main ingredients to successful tutoring and/or teaching. With patience comes a more acute sense of observation and, consequently, learning how each pupil absorbs and retains information. And the next important ingredient is to keep the exchange engaging...

...in high school before going on to teach my college team, as well as wedding dances to private couples. I am also a freelance writer and am working on learning a fourth language, Spanish. In my observation, languages and writing skills are poorly taught in many schools, leaving students frustrated and unprepared for further learning. The improvement I see in my students, however, is immensely rewarding. With a little guidance, everyone has the ability not...

...curriculum, if necessary, or I can help in completing French homework. I have a unique way of combining discipline with fun. You can expect a high energy class where I support my students to achieve their goals and guide them toward success. I am also a certified medical interpreter in French, so my knowledge of the French language is deep and extensive, being able to each all levels. Although I do not tutor sciences, I...

I love traveling, dancing, and reading. But, what I am most passionate about, is learning.... Each one; teach one.... Introductions. Then, find out what the student knows and what the student needs help with.... By asking the student to explain how they get to their answers. That way, they get a chance to test if they really understand a concept.... By keeping the student engaged.... I would take the time to figure out what exactly is...

...living in Brooklyn and applying to PHD programs. I have a deep passion for French-the culture, the sounds, and even the grammar! I love to teach it and speak it. In addition, I've been studying art history for around nine years, in high school and in college. My current research combines 19th century French literature, history, and art history, and I couldn't be happier to be able to use my interests to teach!... Find the interest!...

...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 classes and I'm familar with the rigors and stresses of these classes. I work...

...a serious advanced student of French. My achievements in French led me to win first place in the French language competition le Grand concours de la Maison francophone de Cleveland. I have extensive experience tutoring privately in French, Spanish, Chinese, English as a second language, and mathematics. I also participated in a training course for teachers of English as Second/Foreign Language in January 2014 at Oberlin College and will return to brush up on my...

...and English at Barnard College from 2005-2009. While attending Barnard I studied abroad in Paris at Columbia's Reid Hall program and at The Sorbonne. I trained and worked as a Barnard Writing Fellow, editing college-level papers and tutoring fellow students in essay writing and public speaking. I also volunteered as a tutor for NYC fifth graders. To this day, I am still an avid reader and I volunteer as a tutor for children in my...

...a variety of subjects for middle school and high school students in London. I've taught adults too: I brought my passion for, and training in, landscape architecture to the New York Botanical Garden, where I was an instructor in the History of Landscape Design. I find tutoring so worthwhile that I also do it on a volunteer basis: I'm currently teaching English as another language to new Americans. I've been told I'm a good listener,...

...and ACT math. While these are the subjects most students dread, I find that this is where a good tutor can induce the most "Ah ha!" moments because there are so many patterns that can help you ace that test if you know where to look. Helping students conquer these subjects (and become "math people") by identifying and breaking down the methodology is very rewarding. My philosophy for tutoring has always been: Some people teach...

...are, where they came from, discovering what makes them tick. This helps me in my teaching process - there is not one mold of teaching that fits everyone...it's important to be flexible in your teaching style without losing the underlying pedagogy of the subject matter. I have a great ear for languages and know four fluently, with another two at a basic level. Once you know one language, it's easier to learn another, once you...
