Private tutor in Honolulu, HI

Education

I have a B.A in Langage Sciences, majoring in French as a Foreign Langage, to teach french to non-francophone speakers. I have been tutoring for the past ten years to students of all ages and nationalities. I have taught at Marymount International School of Paris for the past seven years. I have lived in Washington DC, and London, but have now been living in Paris for over ten years. I am franco-american, and therefore speak, read and write both langages fluently.

Experience

I tutor students from 10 to 40, teach them english or french. I love being a tutor firstly because a special relationship is built between the tutor and the student. Then, helping students achieve their potential, adapting to kids’ individual needs, building lasting relationships base... But also, it blends several compelling endeavors into something bigger and more rewarding. Tutoring merges education and what is usually called “enrichment.” For some reason, enrichment activities are increasingly seen as trivial or excessive. Our culture’s efforts to improve education through more rigorous standards and efficiency have detracted from the richness of our students’ education. Tutoring can help counteract these forces by infusing lessons with a wider sense of context and humanity. A tutor can combine subjects in interdisciplinary projects, incorporate the student’s interests and creativity, stay constantly attuned to the student’s self-image, and model a broader conception of learning that involves all of our senses, exploration, tolerance, and dialogue. The proximate goal may still be to raise the student’s grade from a B to an A, but the process can be richly constructed to get at something deeper.
