Hello, I have experience working as a tutor from my high school French honor's society and continued to volunteer as a French tutor for my first few years at St. Mary's College of Maryland. Since transferring to UMD, I have participated in a couple Intern for a Day programs at local schools where I have visited French classes and helped students during instruction as needed. In addition to my experience as a French tutor and volunteer at local schools, I also have facilitated English Conversation group meetings for students learning English as a second language where I have intstructed ten lessons about various topics including family, nature, films, hobbies etc. My favorite part about tutoring is helping students succeed in developing their literacy skills through interactive lesson plans and personalized instruction.

-Bachelor of French Degree in Spring 2020
-American Association of Teachers of French (AATF) Excellence in French Award in Spring 2020

I have served as a facilitator this past spring semester for the English Conversation Program at UMD this past Spring where I have organized lessons for students interested in improving their English skills. I hope to continue serving as a facilitator for this program in the summer.

I look forward to working with any clients who are interested in tutoring for French or TOESL. I like to adapt my lessons to the student's learning style and have flexible hours. If you have any questions, please send me a notification through this website. Thank you!

ESL/ESOL

I designed a variety of lessons for a small group in-class and virtual meetings that included an agenda and focus questions with links to supplemental material. I made the lessons more personalized by asking students what topics they were interested in learning about and focused on different literacy skills such as reading articles and discussing reflections about videos. I was very patient with my participants and gave them feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and their responses to my focus questions.

French

I have a Bachelor's Degree in French from the University of Maryland, College Park. I joined the French national honor society and received an AATF award for excellence in French. Prior to my experience studying French at the university level, I was a member of the French honor society at my high-school for 2 years and helped tutor French twice a semester for the last two years where I helped prepare students for quizzes and reviewed their written work. I have also volunteered for a day at a middle school and high-school where I observed French teaching and interacted with students to help them complete certain assignments.

Very communicative and knowledgeable

Isabella was very responsive and communicative, provided lots of good materials and tools to help my son improve his French and even suggested a group my son could join to learn and improve his French. She certainly is knowledgeable. My son enjoyed the first lesson, looking forward to more!

Absolutely fantastic!

I wish I could give 10 stars! My daughter has been working with Isabella for a little over a month now and Isabella is just fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind. My daughter enjoys her sessions with Isabella and is energized by the way Isabella helps her with grammar, writing and pronunciation. Isabella is always extremely well prepared, and best of all, very proactive - which helps these busy, working parents - and reaches out to see what my daughter is working on in school, what she needs help in, etc. Thank you, Isabella, for all you are doing!!!

Organized and relevant French lessons!

Isabella is a fantastic French tutor! My son is in high school, and he finds his lessons with Isabella engaging and informative. Isabella always makes an effort to find out what his class is working on, so she can spend time on the most relevant topics. She uses the lesson time effectively and she provides lots of encouragement. Isabella is also great about following up and sending extra practice links if needed. It has definitely been a big help with grades to have a tutor like Isabella!

Restored my child’s confidence in French!

My son has been working with Isabella for several months now. In addition to improving his French grades, she has restored his confidence—and interest in- French which is invaluable!

We Have A Winner!

Polly Voo! I may not know French, but my daughter is loving it. Isabella knows the content and has the talent to teach it. Highly recommended for this challenging subject. Today’s lesson ended way before time due to a power outage at our home. It’s been a crazy week.

Qualified, patient and fun tutor for our daughter

Isabella was a qualified,patient and fun tutor for our 13 year old daughter. We will continue using her, and recommend her. She certainly has the academic qualifications, plans lessons well wit a good agenda and tailors to the experience and learning manner of the student. She is also very responsive to questions prior and after class for scheduling etc.
