...years at levels ranging from middle school to college. Additionally, I have been a high school teacher of both Spanish and French for the past 2 years. I am trained in foreign language pedagogy and know how students can best acquire foreign languages, and 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...

...abroad in Paris, where I took courses (taught in French) on culture, politics, and literature taught by professors from partnered universities including Sciences Po and the Sorbonne. My greatest passion is linguistics and language in general. French has been my primary language of study 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...

...that with my students. In my experience students particularly enjoy (and benefit from) learning and exploring new cultures while learning the language itself. As the child of a teacher I am a strong believer in the importance of education and all of the opportunities it offers to students. I finished my MA in May with a thesis on French fairy tales, but I also enjoy reading as much as I can, spending time with my...

I am a middle school French teacher in Parker but have taught either Language 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. I have worked one on one before with students, helping both their grades and skills greatly improve. I'm looking forward to meeting and working with you!... I would spend time getting...

...try to apply this method to test preparation, so that students aren't just following a test-taking strategy because they were told to, they are using that strategy because they were encouraged to discover it for themselves and they understand why it works. Ultimately, I enjoy 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...

...great way to begin to do that. I also have a real passion for the subjects I tutor, History, English, and French. The best part about tutoring is helping students to feel the same way about history and language as I do. The tutoring process is of great benefit to me as well, not just the student. I always come away learning a lot both about the relevant subjects and about the best ways to...

...Europe. Since graduation, I have worked at a public school in Harlem as the College Counselor working with students from grades 6-12. In my two years of experience, I have had the opportunity to network with college admissions counselors across the country, and I 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...

...pursuing a Bachelor's degree at the University of Virginia, where I plan to study Business, and I graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in 2015. I have extensive volunteer tutoring experience, having worked with kindergarten and second grade students as a reading tutor and middle school students as a math tutor.

...to graduate. At the Noble Academy, I taught AP Biology ninth graders as well as all of our ninth graders with IEPs. Three ninth graders passed the AP Biology exam and the ninth grade grew 2.18 points as a whole on the ACT science section. 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...

...is important that learning is not just for one assignment or one test, but rather that it sticks with you to build a solid foundation of knowledge and confidence that you can carry forward. My favorite subjects to tutor include English, SAT test preparation, 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...

...tutoring as a senior in high school with a fifth-grade student at a local elementary school. After loving the experience, I continued spending my time mentoring in college through a program called Reading Friends.

I will continue in this position next year as well....

...20 with their English grammar and pronunciation. While there, I took advantage of the school holidays and traveled to several different European countries. After my contract finished, I spent two months traveling through Spain. My favorite subjects to tutor are literature based, as that is where my interests lie. I enjoy discussing books with my students and helping them realize the subtle nuances of the author's language. I also enjoy helping my students with their...

...prepare for the GRE after having been out of school for decades. Whether it's GRE test prep, French, math or economics, my approach to tutoring is to find what strategies work best for the student and work on methods for students to be able to make progress both in and out of tutoring sessions. My favorite part of tutoring is seeing students improve and build confidence in areas they used to be nervous about or...

...up in a little beach town in Los Angeles, which I think has shaped much of my personality. I am currently a senior at GW studying Criminal Justice with a minor in International Affairs. On campus, I am a Peer Writing Consultant, and I've been a tutor for a DC organization working with students who fall behind in their school curriculums. I love interacting with people and watching students overcome subjects they struggle in and...

...to think about learning in their free time. 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 to the student, who can then apply those skills to any passage,...

...Physics due to the diverse range of my passions, and finally settled on the Humanities because it allowed me to study all of them at once. I am most passionate about teaching anything within the Arts (e.g. Literature), French language and culture, and the purer side of Mathematics, where the abstractions of numbers give us the freedom to do with them what we will. I also love helping students work their way through the daunting...
