Award-Winning French Tutors serving Chatham, IL

...studied political science at Brown University, but I enjoy reading about subjects as diverse as astronomy, sustainability, and literature too. I had some study tactics that worked for me, especially for high school subjects and standardized tests. I can share these with you but also try to help you with tactics that you've already developed.

...I have spent time implementing successful approaches on a classroom scale. My love for languages started long ago, and I really enjoy helping others to learn them. In college, I studied for a semester in the south of Spain and lived with a family there. It was there that I learned the true power of...

...chemistry, programming (python), french, and writing courses. Additionally, I took many AP classes throughout high school which enabled me to enter college with over 30 credits already completed. I have spent two years tutoring in the past and have gained experience learning how to work best with struggling students. I enjoy teaching and helping others...

...gladly connect my students to any college admissions departments I am familiar with. Although my tutoring specialty is test prep -- SAT, ACT, PSAT, SHSAT, and GRE -- I particularly love tutoring writing, and creative writing is a hobby of mine. My philosophy is that even when we are preparing for a standardized exam, we...

...teaching because both the student and I can simultaneously improve in a process that never ceases to make us better. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy pretty much any activity that gets me outside, especially if that outside happens to be in the woods or near the beach (I am from Florida after all...). While...

...math, and psychology. My approach to tutoring is to meet the student where they're at and go from there. I find that this way we can build a productive tutoring relationship where I can help individualize learning to each person's particular learning style. Outside of academic interests, I enjoy cooking, being with friends and family,...

...I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to teach French for 2 years while earning my Master's.

I look forward to working with you to help you strive for success in all that you pursue.... I believe in teaching from the ground up - if you're struggling with a concept, I'll help you find out what foundational concepts need...

...mentors. Education is a field that I hope to pursue as a career and there is nothing more crucial to the project of education than fostering positive relationships with students. Tutoring is a great way to begin to do that. I also have a real passion for the subjects I tutor, History, English, and French....

...Arts or ESL for the past seven years. I have a lot of experience working with students of various backgrounds and have had a proven record of success with my classes.

...called Reading Friends. After graduating college, I joined Teach for America and began teaching at a middle school in Nashville. Last year I taught Social Studies, and this year I moved into teaching literacy. I will continue in this position next year as well. Not only do I have extensive experience tutoring and mentoring, but...

...spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not working or studying, I love playing volleyball (indoors or on the beach!) and spending time outside, canoeing or hiking with my dog. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

...For that reason, I target my tutoring to each individual student, trying to give examples the student can relate to, and assigning challenging work the student will be interested in. A student who loves history will not learn to read from a passage about molecular biology. Practicing on history-focused passages can impart the necessary skills...

...for ten years, including theoretical research in college. I'm extremely interested in modern language, and how to turn mechanical textbook understanding into fluency and contemporary usage. (Sometimes textbooks age poorly in how they teach slang.) My pedagogical style is process-based and goal-oriented. I like students to set a goal (or several), collaborate with me on...

I therefore am an incredibly flexible teacher, who can adapt lessons to a range of ability levels and content areas, which contributes to the success my students have achieved on their state tests, ACT, and AP Biology exam. It is important to me that my students are engaged because from that engagement, we can...

...am working on a thesis in discrete geometry and combinatorics, as well as doing research for UCSF where I design machine vision software. I am well positioned to motivate and justify nearly every aspect of math education as being crucial for a future career in science, engineering or education. I bring this emphasis on real...

...at Johns Hopkins. I have been tutoring high school students outside of class in college and involved in STEM academics and research mentorship as well as a translation program from and to English outside of class. I speak Japanese and French, and I have taken the PSATs, SATs, 10 APs, and the GREs successfully. I...

...regain the confidence to tackle any problem put before them. I found it very important to not only help the children I tutored to rebuild their confidence, but to also let them know that success is dependent on how much effort they put into their studies. I often asked students how they felt after the...

...it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way. In my free time, I love playing piano, running, riding my bike, and learning languages. My...
