Education

Bachelors in French Studies from Calvin College

Career Experience

After completing a bachelor's degree in French, I received my teaching certification in French and Social Studies. I went on to study French Literature in graduate school, where I taught undergraduate French classes. Then I taught English as a second language and did some substitute teaching. I also had some private clients I tutored in French. After the birth of my first child, I began doing freelance editing work so I could work from home. I now have 4 children who are in school full-time and am looking forward to tutoring again.

I Love Tutoring Because

it's wonderful to help someone understand a concept or learn to think in new ways. It's a blessing to see a student who may have been confused and frustrated at the start of a session learn a "trick" or tip to figure something out such as how to conjugate verbs in the imperfect tense or which adjectives come before the nouns they modify in French, or even just what the definition of an adjective is!

Other Interests

Badminton, Cooking, Digital arts, Foreign language learning, Gardening, Reading

My tutor was named Carrie S. and she was beyond helpful. It was my first time using tutor.com and I believe this is a wonderful resource for students who do not have access to go to campus.

Really great for getting fast answers to questions, however not enough options in the subject section when choosing what type of tutor I needed. I connected with a grammar tutor who was extremely helpful however she informed me that I actually needed an essay tutor and there was not an option for that when I chose the subject I needed.

She was very good with grammar, but went a little overboard in explaining. I felt stupid.

This is a great service. I am taking a course at an online college and sometimes the professor is not available for quick questions. This is perfect.
