Samantha

Elementary School Tutor • +8 Subjects

I received my Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education from The Ohio State University. Additionally, I am licensed to teach PreK through third grade.I have had the wonderful opportunity of teaching in a wide variety of classroom settings. No matter where I am teaching, I am passionate about building a relationship with each of my students. I uncover their interests, strengths, and weaknesses, and use those things to nurture a love of learning and self-confidence while helping them grow.I enjoy teaching all core subject areas, including Math, Reading, English/Language Arts, Writing, Science, and History, for students PreK-3rd grade. However, I am most passionate when teaching Math, Reading, and Science. I believe that the excitement and positive attitude of the teacher is crucial in helping students succeed in the areas they find most challenging. Being able to share my love of learning with others and grow students' perseverance and self-confidence through helping them master a challenging concept is so rewarding. As an educator, I want students to persevere in learning, remain curious, and see that education plays an important role in their life.When I am not in the classroom, I love hiking and camping, reading, baking, and playing board games. I hope to travel to all 62 National Parks someday too.

Justin

ACT Prep Tutor • +31 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

While memorizing conjugation tables has its place, the most effective approach combines pattern recognition with repeated use in context. Tutors help you identify the logical patterns within verb families (regular -er, -ir, -re verbs and common irregular verbs) rather than treating each conjugation as isolated information. The key is practicing conjugations in meaningful sentences and conversations, which reinforces them through retrieval practice—a proven learning technique. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on the specific verb tenses you struggle with most and integrate them into dialogue relevant to your interests.

Speaking is often the most neglected skill in traditional classroom settings, where students may only speak a few minutes per class. Consistent speaking practice is essential for developing confidence and fluency—research shows that 1-on-1 instruction provides dramatically more speaking opportunities than group classes. With personalized tutoring, you get dedicated conversation time focused on your proficiency level, whether you're working on basic introductions or complex discussions. Tutors can also provide immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and natural phrasing, helping you develop an ear for authentic French and build the muscle memory needed for fluent communication.

Vocabulary retention improves dramatically when words are learned in thematic groups and used repeatedly in varied contexts rather than from isolated lists. Spaced repetition—reviewing words at increasing intervals—is one of the most effective retention strategies. Tutors can help you organize vocabulary by topic (family, food, travel, emotions) and weave new words into conversations and writing exercises, which strengthens neural connections far better than flashcards alone. Personalized instruction also allows tutors to identify which words matter most for your goals, whether that's mastering classroom vocabulary or preparing for specific situations like travel or speaking assessments.

Pronunciation matters because it affects how well native speakers understand you and your overall confidence in speaking. High School French often focuses on written French, leaving students uncertain about proper pronunciation. Tutors with native or near-native fluency can model correct pronunciation and help you adjust your mouth position, breath, and intonation patterns—aspects that are difficult to self-correct. Regular practice with real-time feedback helps train your ear to recognize subtle differences (like French 'u' vs 'ou' sounds) and your mouth to reproduce them naturally. While you won't achieve a perfect accent overnight, consistent personalized instruction accelerates improvement far beyond what self-study or classroom instruction alone can provide.

Absolutely. Language is inseparable from culture—understanding French expressions, humor, customs, and perspectives helps you grasp why native speakers say things the way they do. This context transforms memorization into meaningful learning. For example, understanding French social norms (like the formal 'vous' vs informal 'tu') makes grammar rules click instead of feeling arbitrary. Many tutors incorporate authentic materials like French films, music, literature, and current events into lessons, which exposes you to natural language patterns and keeps you engaged. This immersion-style approach also prepares you for real communication, since language in cultural context is how you'll actually use French.

Effective tutors start by understanding your school's curriculum, textbook, and specific learning objectives—whether you're in French I, II, III, or AP French. They can then target the grammar rules, vocabulary, and skills your teacher emphasizes while filling gaps that classroom instruction doesn't fully address. Personalized tutoring also works at your pace; if you need extra time on subjunctive mood or conditional structures, a tutor can dedicate sessions to those topics rather than moving on with the class. Additionally, tutors can supplement classroom learning with speaking practice and cultural context that many textbooks lack, giving you a more complete foundation for success on quizzes, tests, and speaking assessments.

The best tutors combine strong language proficiency with genuine teaching skill and an understanding of how high school students learn. Look for someone with native or near-native French fluency, since they can model natural pronunciation and explain cultural nuances. Experience teaching high school French—or at least understanding typical curriculum and student challenges—matters significantly. Strong tutors are patient, adaptable to your learning style, and capable of explaining grammar clearly while also making lessons engaging through conversation, media, and real-world scenarios. They should ask thoughtful questions about your goals (whether that's passing exams, improving speaking confidence, or preparing for AP French) and tailor lessons accordingly rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
