In my personalized tutoring approach, I focus on making learning clear, structured, and accessible for every student. I specialize in working with beginners, bilingual learners, and native French speakers who are developing their English skills. Being fluent in both English and French allows me to bridge the language gap effectively, offering clear explanations and comparisons when necessary to speed up understanding. I use an ACE (Accuracy, Clarity, and Engagement) approach to every lesson: Accuracy to ensure students learn correct grammar, pronunciation, and usage. Clarity to break down complex concepts into simple, understandable steps. Engagement to make lessons interactive, dynamic, and enjoyable. My lessons incorporate a wide range of tools, including dictation practice, reading comprehension exercises, speech recognition technology, and game-based learning platforms. Every session is customized to the student's needs, making sure that learning is progressive, real-world applicable, and confidence-building. Whether supporting a young beginner, a school student, or an adult learner, my goal is always the same: to foster a deep, lasting understanding of English while making the process smooth, motivating, and rewarding. Through patient guidance, structured progression, and an emphasis on real communication, I help students move forward with confidence at every level.

Daniel and a learner from UCLA reviewed French A1 concepts, focusing on verb conjugations, question formation, and vocabulary related to daily activities and preferences. They practiced conjugating verbs in the present tense using an interactive platform and described their weekend and vacation plans in French. Daniel assigned additional verb conjugation exercises to reinforce the concepts covered in the lesson.
The Pronoun 'Ça'
Verb 'Visiter' Usage
ER Verb Conjugation (Present Tense)
French Negation (Ne...Pas)
Asking Questions (Est-ce que)
In this calculus lesson, Daniel assisted Fiona in reviewing limits, continuity of piecewise functions, and an introduction to derivatives, covering the power, constant, sum, and difference rules. Fiona then practiced applying these derivative rules and was assigned additional problems for practice. Daniel recommended that Fiona seek clarification from Bridget if she had any questions.
Limit at Infinity
Power Rule
Piecewise Function
Continuity (using Limits)
Derivative of a Constant
Daniel and a student practiced French possessive adjectives, telling time, formal and informal pronouns, and verb conjugations, specifically 'aller' and 'avoir'. The student, who attends Fordham University in The Bronx, worked through practice questions to reinforce these concepts. Daniel assigned the remaining questions as homework and noted that they are progressing towards exiting the A1 level.

Possessive Articles (Plural)
In their recent math lesson, Daniel guided Fiona through the process of evaluating limits at infinity. The core of their discussion revolved around comparing the growth rates of polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Fiona actively practiced identifying these different function types within complex expressions and then determining the overall limit. They tackled several problems from Fiona's homework, with Daniel highlighting the critical role of recognizing function types to accurately predict their behavior as x approaches infinity.
Function Growth Hierarchy
Limits at Infinity (Rational Functions)
Exponential Function Growth
Logarithm Function Growth
Negative Exponents
During their recent math lesson, Daniel and Fiona delved into the intricacies of limits and piecewise functions. They explored various strategies for evaluating limits, including direct substitution, factoring, and rationalization. Fiona actively practiced evaluating limits both graphically and algebraically, paying close attention to indeterminate forms and limits at infinity. For their upcoming class, Daniel tasked Fiona with reviewing trigonometric identities and associated evaluation methods.
Limits
Piecewise Functions
Discontinuities
Limits at Infinity
Indeterminate Forms
During their French lesson, Daniel and Kevin explored various strategies for Kevin to immerse himself in the language beyond the classroom, including engaging with French music and news articles. They delved into the lyrics of a song by Kami, meticulously analyzing its vocabulary and grammar. Kevin also had the opportunity to practice reading a short story in French. As a follow-up, Daniel tasked Kevin with listening to the podcast "Little Talk and Slow French" and selecting a song for review in their upcoming class.
