Jeanette
Native French Tutor
Dear friends, I was born in France and later grew up in the USA, speaking both French and English at home. When I was a teenager, I was in love with French music, constantly bringing home the latest record albums from France, much to the delight of my mother. I had my first class of grade school French students when I was seventeen and majoring in French Literature at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I turned our home into a classroom, and my students gathered around the dinin... Read more
Yasmine
English Girl with a Passion for Reading, Writing and Literature
I firmly believe that a good tutor can boost a student's confidence in the classroom, where confidence is lacking.

Whilst not a professional teacher, I have had experience assisting youngsters in their homework and I have found it very rewarding. I believe that often, ... Read more

Break down language knots and complex issues
My students have come to refer to me as their mentor friend and an effective English tutor for foreign visitors and new arrivals in the United States as well as for current students in Chicago's school system.

I break down complex language in their reading passages and assignments into simple, und... Read more

During my four years as an undergraduate, I spent quite a bit of time studying teaching theory, and then implementing it in both ... Read more
