"I believe in engaging students by tailoring lessons to their needs and personality. Communication, patience and understanding are a must for a successful rapport with the student. I studied at the prestigious Ecole Normale Supérieure in France and graduate Summa Cum Laude with a Master's in Linguistics and Literature as well as a B.A. in English, I taught at Le Lycée Français of Los Angeles and Westlake School for girls high school level before focusing on tutoring all levels from middle schools to adults at Berlitz schools and privately. I find it so rewarding to watch a student relate to a subject and make progress because a different light is shed on the challenges.

There are no problems, only solutions is my motto in life and I apply it to my teaching methods. I'm highly communicative and approachable and believe that you need to build a rapport with students for them to excel. Each student has a different learning style and it is essential to identify what is most suitable for their growth. Providing choices, chunking the work to make it less daunting, positive reinforcement, a creative personalized approach along with patience and unrelenting support are my keys to success.I was born with a high IQ and an insatiable desire to learn and study. I love to share my knowledge and derive great pleasure in nurturing students and watching them progress and shine. I have successfully tutored a lot of students including Chloe Malle (Louis Malle and Candice Bergen's daughter). I have also been an Interactive Art Director for major L.A. ad agencies. I was hired for my conceptual abilities and my hands-on skills to push the envelope on high profile interactive campaigns." less...
