Chris: SAT Subject Test in French test prep instructor
…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 pedagogical style is process-based and goal-oriented. I like students to set a goal (or several), collaborate with...

…the most effective study strategies for you to keep your learning fresh. As a tutor, my main goal is to provide answers to any questions you may have, to clarify confusing ideas, and to challenge you to grow in the subject. In my free time, my favorite activities are songwriting, Pilates, and baking. I also read, enjoy nature, and like to dabble in various art forms. I look forward to getting to know you!... In my eyes, every student is an individual with a unique learning strategy. Because we have the luxury of working together one-on-one, I like to take advantage of the opportunity to tailor my teaching to each student's specific needs. Usually this involves figuring out which learning methods work best for you, helping you to determine which areas you need to develop most, and designing the most effective study strategies for you to keep your learning fresh. I also believe strongly in the value of your questions. While studying, you may find that certain principles are more challenging for you, and my goal is to provide an answer to any questions you may have, clarify confusing ideas, and challenge you to grow in the subject.

I love traveling, dancing, and reading. But, what I am most passionate about, is learning.... Each one; teach one.... Introductions. Then, find out what the student knows and what the student needs help with.... By asking the student to explain how they get to their answers. That way, they get a chance to test if they really understand a concept.... By keeping the student engaged.... I would take the time to figure out what exactly is causing the difficulty, and work on it with the student.
