Tutoring Style and/or Experience

Hello to my future students of all ages!


First and foremost, I naturally love learning, so when I tutor, I get to learn, too; therefore, tutoring is never viewed as a job by me.


I am very friendly, very patient and relaxed, and very knowledgeable in my fields of expertise with over ten years experience. My method is tailored to your learning style: every person is different, but I will know what's right for you, be it a visual, deductive, inductive, audio approach or other, or any combination thereof. I assure you that I will make explanations and answers as clear as clear can be during your session (not matter how abstract something is, I play with it until I can get as much grey area out as possible). And I never let my students walk away until they've mastered what needs to be mastered -- that's a promise!


Regarding my skills, I am a linguist who knows the intricacies of both the English and French languages, making me ideal for helping those needing skills for test preparation for the GRE, SAT, GMAT, etc,(I actually take them for fun all the time, particularly GRE verbal tests.) Any tutoring in academic writing, grammar, reading comprehension, and TESOL (certified) is highly welcomed. Also, I give great instruction in French pronunciation for native English speakers (native English speaker myself), and can easily accomodate those needing help in German and Russian grammar/pronunciation.


You've probably inferred that I am a world traveler, and how right you are. That in mind, I can be of utmost assistance in geography and world cultures lessons (lived in France, Australia, UK, etc).


Finally, I am always available to tutor algebra with crystal clear methods for a subject often disliked and poorly taught. Let me reverse your feelings toward it!


I hope to hear from you soon!
