Hans

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +32 Subjects

Hi, my name is Hans and I am a recent graduate of Northwestern University in Chicago. While there, I majored in Economics and minored in International Studies with a focus in International Political Economy and Development. Beyond these classes, I also had a healthy, eclectic interest in a wide range of subject areas including Multivariable Calculus, Physics, and Film. It is also worth noting that I was able to accomplish all of this in three years, rather than four, due to my focus and success on AP tests.As for my specific tutoring experience, I have been teaching students since high school, and volunteering with local children of lower socioeconomic status for the past three years. These lessons have been for students of all ages ranging from elementary school to college. In high school I also excelled on the SAT (2220) and a plethora of AP tests (4s and 5s across the board), and so would be happy to aid with any test prep you may need.I am a very amicable person, and truly think that I could have a successful tutoring relationship with virtually anyone. I am happy to speak with you more prior to a lesson should you have any questions regarding my qualifications and/or character. Thank you for your time and I hope to work with you soon!

Nicole

Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects

After volunteering on a medical team in Ghana in the summer of 2013, I now aspire to become a pediatrician for under-served populations. I graduated from Emory University with a degree in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology and Visual Arts, but I rather than apply to medical school straight away, I opted to take a few gap years. Currently, I am a graduate student at Columbia University in the process of completing a Master of Science in Human Nutrition, and when I return to Rhode Island this fall, I plan to work in labs conducting clinical research projects. I am excited to tutor students in biology, critique essays for grammar and organization, and provide constructive feedback for any visual art or creative writing pieces.

Wen

Conversational Mandarin Tutor • +6 Subjects

I was born in Sichuan, China and moved to U.S when I was 18. I finished my undergraduate degree at the University of Iowa in double majors of Communication Studies and Japanese. Currently, I am a graduate student in the department of Communication Management in USC. I am specialized in tutoring Mandarin Chinese not only I am a native speaker, also I have four years experience of learning Japanese and one year of speaking basic Korean. I also had tutoring experience in my undergraduate as a hired language tutor.My goal is to create a comfortable studying zone for my students. Depending on every individual need, my teaching technique will also be different. For students who only want to pass the language exam, I will try to meet with them before their exam in order to strengthen their memory. For students who are highly interested in Chinese culture, I will give them some background of Chinese history and culture so as to expand their interests.In my spare time, I like to go yoga class, watch movie, shopping, cooking, and read books. My tutoring schedule is very flexible. I look forward to working with you.

AP Japanese Language and Culture Tutor • +7 Subjects

I graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in international studies, focusing on global health and Japanese language. In the past I have taught kids ages 4-17 Karate, including kids with disabilities and kids from a special program called Kids Kicking Cancer. In my Junior year of college I lived in Tokyo for a year going to Waseda University, and even held a job teaching karate to Japanese students there as well. While I tutor several subjects, including math and english, I am most passionate about tutoring in Japanese. My language journey in Japanese was really rewarding and having achieved fluency in just about 3 years, I have many tips on how best to learn and retain Japanese. I'll give you supplemental resources outside of your classes or personals studies like pop culture, ways you can speak to real native speakers, and fun challenges to make your learning experience fun and memorable. Outside of tutoring, I like to play sports (rugby, basketball) and play the piano :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Verb conjugation is one of the trickiest parts of 7th grade French because there are so many patterns to memorize. The most effective approach combines pattern recognition with repeated practice—students learn that -er, -ir, and -re verbs follow predictable rules, then practice conjugating verbs in context rather than in isolation.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly helpful here because tutors can identify which verb tenses your student struggles with most (present tense, passé composé, imparfait, etc.) and create targeted practice. Rather than drilling conjugation tables, great tutors weave conjugation into actual sentences and conversations, which helps it stick much better than rote memorization.

In a typical classroom, 7th graders get limited one-on-one speaking time with an instructor—maybe a few minutes per class. This is one of the biggest gaps in traditional language education. Speaking practice is essential because it builds confidence, develops pronunciation, and helps students move beyond translating in their heads to actually thinking in French.

When you connect with a French tutor for personalized instruction, your student gets dedicated conversation time every session. Tutors can slow down, correct pronunciation gently, introduce relevant vocabulary on the spot, and adjust the difficulty to match your student's level. This consistent speaking practice accelerates fluency development in ways that textbook work alone cannot.

Passive vocabulary review (like flashcard apps) has its place, but retention skyrockets when students use words in context and across multiple modalities. Research on learning shows that spacing out practice over time and mixing different types of retrieval practice—speaking, writing, listening—leads to much stronger long-term retention than cramming.

Experienced French tutors use a multi-sensory approach: they might introduce new vocabulary through conversation, have students write sentences using the words, then circle back to those words in future lessons. Tutors also help students identify patterns (like common prefixes and suffixes) so they're not memorizing random words but understanding how French builds meaning. This strategic approach turns vocabulary learning from tedious to manageable.

Many 7th graders struggle with listening because native French speakers talk fast, use contractions, and don't always pronounce every word clearly. The solution is gradual exposure combined with guided practice. Students need to hear French from multiple sources—tutors, podcasts, videos, music—but with scaffolding so they're not just passively listening.

Tutors help by speaking at an appropriate pace during lessons, highlighting key words before playing audio clips, and asking comprehension questions to guide listening. Over time, this trains the ear and helps students recognize spoken patterns they've learned in writing. The combination of tutor-led listening practice plus regular exposure to authentic French content builds comprehension skills steadily.

Both matter, but they serve different purposes. Reading builds vocabulary recognition and exposes students to how French grammar actually functions in context. Writing forces students to produce French and internalize grammar rules through application. In 7th grade, students typically need a balanced approach: enough reading to build familiarity with the language, and enough writing to develop confidence expressing their own ideas.

The ideal balance depends on your student's goals and strengths. If your student is stronger in reading but struggles to write, a tutor can create writing-focused lessons that pull from reading they've done. If speaking and writing feel disconnected, a tutor can integrate them—having students narrate their writing aloud or respond to prompts verbally before writing. Personalized instruction ensures your student develops both skills in proportion to their needs.

Language and culture are inseparable—learning how French speakers actually live, what they value, and how they express themselves gives students deeper motivation and comprehension. Cultural context also makes vocabulary and grammar stick better because students understand not just the mechanics of the language but when and how to use it appropriately.

Tutors bring cultural immersion into lessons naturally by discussing French-speaking countries, explaining idioms rooted in culture, and using authentic materials like French news, music, or literature excerpts. This transforms French from a subject to study into a living language connected to real people and places. Even at the 7th grade level, this cultural engagement dramatically increases student motivation and retention.

The best 7th grade French tutors combine strong language skills with the ability to communicate at a student's level. Look for tutors who have experience teaching middle school students specifically—they understand the developmental stage and know how to make grammar engaging rather than overwhelming. They should be comfortable teaching all four skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening) and able to diagnose where your student struggles most.

It's also valuable to find a tutor who understands your student's curriculum and can align instruction with what's happening in their class. Tutors should be encouraging, patient with mistakes (which are essential to learning), and able to adapt their approach when something isn't working. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we match you with tutors who meet these criteria and can provide the personalized instruction your 7th grader needs to build both competence and confidence in French.
