Geri
Highly Successful Foreign Language Tutor

TOEFL

elementary (k-6th)
Although I have not taught elementary school on a full-time basis, I am NYS certified to teach nursery school through 6th grade. Furthermore, I believe that my many years of teaching ESL to preschool and elementary school children in a public school setting more than qualifies me to tutor at this level.

Ms. Geri has a very positive teaching style that combines confidence-building with knowledge. My daughter was further behind in French than I realized. Ms. Geri has outlined areas of priority and has set out to prepare my daughter for her end of year exam. She leaves assignments for her to complete during the week to make the most of time she has to tutor. She is no-nonsense, but kind and fair: a combination that works well with a young lady who needs a push to succeed.

Geri comes well prepared to tutor. She is friendly and patient and explains the lesson clearly and orderly. My daughter felt very comfortable with Geri and her first session helped her very much!

Geri accommodated my last minute request quickly, preparing me for an upcoming trip to Paris. She is knowledgeable and was patient during her lessons. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning or brushing up on their French. Merci!

Justice is learning so much from Geri. I think soon he will be learning how to conversate. He received a 90 on the last test and wanted to dive into his homework right away.

Geri is focusing her tutoring on FLACS exam prep just as we asked her to and seems very knowledgeable about the test.
