Hello/Bonjour, potential student! I am a former high school teacher of 5 1/2 years that would like to help you with various subjects. I was a French teacher, but I also did official district homebound instruction (for students that cannot attend regular high school for health related reasons) for 2 years as well. I also tutored officially after school for students on campus, again in various subjects. I have been tutoring for WyzAnt for nearly 6 years now and very much enjoy it!

Don S. from Glendale Heights, IL I believe Michelle is an excellent tutor. My daughter was failing Algebra 1 and after one week of tutoring from Michelle my daughter's grade has gone up one full letter grade. Michelle was very patinet with her and very determined to raise her grade quiclky. I believe the upward trend will continue due to Michelle. Thank you Michelle and I hope you will continue to teach her.

Nancy T. from Western Springs, IL Very well prepared. Always on time, flexible with a meeting place (local library or our home), friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you, Michelle, you are doing a wonderful job. I wish we had started the lessons a year ago!

Claudia F. from Arlington Heights, IL Michelle has given Kaitie some excellent strategies for learning difficult lessons. She adapts very well to my daughter's learning pitfalls and teaches her methods to conquer the challenging concepts. Michelle is an outstanding teacher!

Mariajose M. from Aurora, IL Michelle is a gift. Besides being a great tutor, she is extremely flexible with the lesson plans and topics. I had initially requested her help with algebra, but she was just as happy helping my child with chemistry and other subjects, as the need arose. In just a few lessons, my child is showing signs of confidence in her ability to tackle more challenging concepts.

Hillary U. from Saint Charles, IL Michelle was a wonderful tutor! She was always easy to contact. She was patient during the lessons, and her help with correct pronunciation and translation was invaluable. Moreover, her insights into French culture made the learning enjoyable. She gave me the confidence to to continue learning French.

Laura F. from Roselle, IL Michelle is a great tutor, and I am very happy that I had the opportunity to work with her. Although, I had never taken a formal French class, she was very patient with me and tactfully showed me how to approach learning the language in a more organized fashion. She has given me very good recommendations for books and alternative methods of learning that are fun. She was easy to contact, on time, and well-informed of French culture. I would recommend her to students of all ages.

Kathleen C. from North Aurora, IL Michelle was a fantastic tutor! My daughter needed help thoughout this year with French, as her teacher's teaching "style" was not actually helping her learn French. Michelle's patience, and flexibility with my daughter's schedule, was very appreciated, not to mention her vast knowledge of the French language (dare I say she is infinitely more knowledgeable than my daughter's French teacher?)! Even though my daughter has decided not to continue on with a 4th year of French at her school, at least Michelle was here to help my daughter make it through her 3rd year with a terrible teacher, filling in the (many) gaps when needed. Therefore, I highly recommend Michelle, and we will truly miss her!

Marci C. from Glen Ellyn, IL I would not hesitate to recommend Michelle to others. We used Michelle for ACT tutoring, but her skill set seems to extend far beyond standardized test instruction. Initially, I was impressed by her expedient responses to my email inquiries and the clarity in which she answered our questions. Michelle was always on time to the sessions and immediately established a nice rapport with our daughter. The sessions were productive and motivating. More than anything, I believe that Michelle instilled a confidence in our daughter which has been reflected in the consistently high scores she achieves on the practice tests.

Daniel M. from Dundee, IL Michelle is a wonderful teacher. Very patient. Very knowledgeable. Michelle will work at your pace while making it fun to learn.

Anne Mary T. from Geneva, IL Michelle is a terrific tutor. She is prompt, knowledgeable, encouraging, and sensitive to a student's particular needs. We worked on French conversation together and I looked forward to every session. She also went out of her way to find me information about Quebecois French. It was especially helpful that she is comfortable with a more colloquial French style than is found in textbooks. I highly recommend her.

For Vanessa T. from Warrenville, IL Although my daughter had a previous tutor for French, she was not understanding what she learned. Michelle changed all of that in a short period of time! She demonstrated expertise in her ability to help my daughter grasp what she was having difficulty with in French to complete the subject that she did not get previously. Michelle manifests such a calming "aura" about her which is certainly an important trait to possess in tutoring a variety of personalities. It certainly is important to us. She was always punctual in arriving for the pre-determined time and day, and very cooperative and professional in her summation of my daughter's progress per session; i.e., what was covered in the session, how my daughter grasped it, and what she could decipher about my daughter's response to her (Michelle's) instruction. She provided details that I like to know about without my having to request it. I would recommend Michelle to anyone needing a tutor for subjects she is offering.

Jaromir K. from Elk Grove Village, IL Having one week to study and get help for my Chemistry final, Michelle was a lot of help. I had no idea what I was doing and chemistry has always been a struggle, Michelle helped me understand all of the concepts and calculations of each and every section/chapter I needed to learn. She is very nice and helpful, I would really recommend her to anyone out there struggling with chem. We met in a library near my house for 3 days and it made a huge difference. I was able to understand way more.

Kathy B. from Palatine, IL My granddaughter has been working with Michelle now for about 6 months. She really struggles with math and ended up the year with an A which she has never gotten before. (She just completed 7th grade) We were thrilled! Michelle also helps her with other subjects as well, including French which is great since none of the family speaks French. We are continuing our tutoring throughout the summer and will be staying with the program long term. I am so glad we found WyzAnt and especially our tutor Michelle. She is personable and makes the sessions interesting. I can't say enough good things about her!!

Stefan K. from Chicago, IL First time I am doing the tutoring service and Michelle has seriously made it a great experience. I am learning french from her and she is very flexible about schedules and lesson plans. For most lessons, we are chatting the whole time in English and french. A few lessons go by and suddenly I am picking up the language. I am able to use more french in my sentences each lesson. But this is how I learn best. I can tell she is an experienced teacher who can accommodate many people's learning styles. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn or be tutored.

Sarah L. from Sycamore, IL Michelle has been great and has helped my daughter tremendously. We will be finishing with tutoring for right now so my daughter can have a break for the rest of summer. Thanks Michelle!

Trish S. from Aurora, IL Michelle has been tutoring my daughter for several months. She has been wonderful, she is patient in helping her review concepts over and over again, until she is confident. She is always quick to respond by e-mail, text, or phone, and will go out of her way to schedule extra sessions when we are in a bind.

Julie T. from Carol Stream, IL We have only had a few sessions with Michelle and my daughter's grade in French has gone up. Our goal is to get it up closer to an A - I think they are going to be able to do that!

George B. from Streamwood, IL I jest! Michelle is not a "professeur," but she may as well be! Michelle has been tutoring me for the last couple of months while I'm taking a CE French course at a local community college. She is very patient and extremely knowledgeable about the French language and culture. What's great about learning from Michelle is that I'm learning the French language from the perspective of a primary English speaking person that is fluent in French as opposed to my French professor who is from France. Michelle is able to navigate me through the rough spots English speakers have trouble with not growing up in the French culture. This is extremely helpful to me and I come away from my tutor sessions learning more than I learn in class. Simply the best French tutor!!!

Sara W. from Glen Ellyn, IL In 5 lessons I feel Michelle has equipped me with the knowledge of pronunciation, key phrases to communicate with politeness in likely encounters and a general understanding of numbers and how they work with currency. I have gained sight recognition of important words for travel purposes and can scan a menu to know what I might be ordering. Because this trip came up quickly and I knew no French prior, I feel Michelle did a great job in helping me to accomplish my initial goal - to feel a little more comfortable with the language while in France. She brought materials pertinent to our study, was patient, encouraging, on time and responded quickly when I sought a tutor. I would highly recommend her.

Gopi P. from Carol Stream, IL Michelle helped my son get his ACT score up drastically. He continually prepared at home, and with the assistance of Michelle, he was determined to get a high score. Michelle is an amazing tutor and I recommend any student in need of help on the ACT to go to her for help because she is perfect!!!
