...your ESL, French, Japanese, or Music Theory tutor! I find that the one-on-one environment of tutoring is truly special because of the tutor-student relationship that can develop over time, and the learning and growth that can happen in such a setting.

When I'm not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy singing karaoke, hiking, traveling, photography, and learning...

I would love to be given the occasion to teach some German, English literature, or composition writing. I've...

...working to engage students to feel as excited and interested as I do towards the material that I teach and hearing my students tell me that they learn more with me in an hour than they do in an entire week of school!

...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 how they teach slang.) My...

...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 dislike. One of the reasons...

...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.

...strengths (in school and tutoring) are in foreign languages including Latin and humanitiesexpect a very enthusiastic tutor especially if we are talking about Shakespeare! I also think it is important to try and frame things in a context students are used to, so if that means watching She's the Man in order to understand Twelfth Night, then that's what we will do (although we do have to read the actual play as well). If that...

...work to master. My focus in teaching is in French and, more broadly, language arts. I 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...

...the summer before starting a Ph.D. program in English literature at Cornell University in the fall. I have a passion for reading, poetry, and learning. I strive to help students read and analyze for themselves, instead of worrying about finding the "right answer." This helps them learn how to think critically about the world around them so that they become more enlightened, aware, and compassionate people. I seek to help each student get the most...

...King had my IQ tested, then set about making sure the school gave me useful and creative outlets. He turned my life around, keeping me from following in the footsteps of my two brothers.

Other people predicted a teaching...
