Award-Winning French Tutors serving New York City, NY

...have been tutoring and teaching students from elementary to college age in French and English for nearly seven years. I have worked as a private tutor for American students, as well as French students when I studied abroad in Strasbourg, France for a semester. I also worked as a French teaching assistant for three years while in college. I especially like helping students learn French. I like to reinforce what they've learned by putting it...

...Pyne, an undergraduate student at Barnard College from Brooklyn, New York. Having always had a love of school and learning, I initially began tutoring as a way to gain community service hours but then realized that it meant more to me. As both a general homework and specialized reading tutor (trained in administering DIBELS and differentiated reading instruction), I have a wide array of experience with different subjects. I can't wait to get involved with...

Hi, My name is Edwina Koch and I am primarily a French tutor. I have lived in France for four years and majored in French in college! I love the language, the culture, and the people and love teaching others about all things French! Fun Fact: On e of my first jobs was working at Build-a-Bear Workshop!

...than one language since I first started to talk. Very young I already knew what I wanted to do as a professional and that was being a language teacher. Languages are my passion and my goal is to transfer that passion to my students through lessons that will allow them not only to speak the language better but also to know much more about that language's culture. Let me help you expand your world!... A language...

...played school because WE had the nun costumes. (Thanks, Mom!) As a high school sophomore, I was asked to teach the freshman German class because I had learned so much of the language on my own, with 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...

...can. I especially love Foreign Languages because every new language means more people you can talk to, more friends you can make, and even more music you can listen to. I am a firm believer that learning should be fun and global and I try to teach that to all my students. In my spare time, I love cooking new recipes in the kitchen, going out with friends, traveling, swimming, playing chess, and listening to...

...or TA help sessions. Here, I would be able to ask questions that clarified topics that would otherwise take me much longer to understand. Often I would relay this information to my friends, and I felt a sense of fulfillment in teaching it. Being able to help someone along to their "a-ha!" moment and share in that experience has been one of the greatest joys of teaching. In addition, doing so not only helped them,...

...have spent almost a year traveling internationally and have tutored in both English and French along the way. I believe that the most critical aspect of teaching a foreign language is getting a student interested and excited to practice it, and I have developed many successful strategies to do this, through tutoring and through studying languages myself. I also have particular experience with ACT test prep—from taking classes as I prepared for the ACT to...

...success. My teaching philosophy is to empower students to be the agents of their own learning. In order to learn efficiently and effectively, tutors need to embrace learning styles. From concepts to creation, students must learn how to ask significant questions and keep asking them. For a tutor, this means modeling good questions and expecting the best from her students. From the moment I sit down with students, they know they are in a safe...

...I moved to the United States to pursue my studies. I am a graduate of John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City, where I earned my second bachelor's and master's degrees with a focus on public administration. I am fluent in French and English. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about French and English. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, and playing soccer.

...those tests I took for practice before I took the real thing. By the time I sat down to the real SAT, I'd been steeped in test-prep culture for years. Even if I didn't intentionally set out to attack the test with "tricks," those tricks were embedded in my subconscious. Now, when I work with students to prepare for tests, I try to make sure they have the same level of preparation and comfort that...

I am a graduate of Harvard College, where I earned my BA, Cum Laude, in Economics and Government. I have also completed Columbia University's Certificate program in Business, and earned a Master's degree in Finance from Claremont McKenna. Currently I am working towards a JD at NYU's School of Law. Starting in college,...

...French Literature and cross-cultural visual arts, and spent my junior year abroad in the City of Lights. I lived with a host family, attended La Sorbonne and wrote for a French fashion publication. It was an entirely immersive experience, and I got to the point where I was not only fluent, but thinking and dreaming in French. The ultimate goal for any Francophile, and one that continues to this day. I am a cultural sponge...

I am a writer and creative individual with a huge passion for teaching! I have a background in the arts, with a major in Drama from Vassar College. I also studied history and creative writing, and am passionate about teaching these subjects.

...Sociology. I work at a climate change think tank and love to work with students and help them achieve academic excellence in their spare time. I am passionate about learning in all its forms, but most of my areas of expertise are centered in math, science, and humanities. While my studies as an undergraduate student ranges from architectural drawing to Marxist thinking, my tutoring interests are much more broad. I have always done quite well...

...adults and children in French. I am passionate about transmitting French language and French/Francophone cultures to students of the French language and my lessons often include music, films, and other cultural productions in order to highlight the diversity of French and Francophone cultures. I also have experience teaching French grammar and syntax at the beginner and advanced levels. The above prepares me to deliver excellent French lessons to students. Outside of teaching and tutoring French,...

...science, data management, statistical models. With over 8 years of experience teaching elementary, high school, undergraduate and graduate students, I specialize in tutoring many subjects, mostly in the humanities and social sciences. I also tutor in Mandarin Chinese. As a native speaker in Chinese, I love to teach Chinese because the language relates to my background and specialty. I can also tutor areas in social sciences, including statistics, biostatistics, psychology, etc. I am looking forward...

...life outside of the classroom. When I was a student, I found that my French coursework 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....

...My goal is to build students' confidence and encourage them to contribute during classroom discussions. When students grasp complex subjects, their attitude toward learning transforms, and they gain a deeper, more meaningful connection to the material. I aim to teach foundational concepts in a way that students can apply them to real-world scenarios. Throughout my educational journey, I realized that every student learns differently, and teachers should meet students where they are. I am passionate...

...skills at the Hunter College Reading/Writing Center. I also work for the DOE as a substitute teacher in New York City public, private, and charter schools, teaching all grades and subjects during the school year. In the Summer, I've taught classes in Summer Camps all over Brooklyn, so I've definitely run the spectrum of youth education in New York City! In my junior and senior years of college, I won English Department awards for playwriting...
