"Achieving Duolingo Level 25 for L'anglais, L'espanol, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese makes me appreciate even more with what my former German professor, Frau Carolyne Wragge, once shared with me—that I am a natural grammarian." ~ Marie Valarao ‣ Golden Owl Hall of Fame ‣ Level 25 Hall of Fame ‣ Unofficial Duolingo Hall of Fame for users with 100,000XP+https://www.duolingo.com/MarieValaraohttps://www.duolingo.com/ProfMarieValarao

The Little ConservatoryLos Angeles, California

I tutored students who were having difficulties in French studies. I covered areas such as grammar, spelling, vocabularies, pronunciation and idiomatic expressions. My students were also taught how to study effectively based on various considerations, like, outlining, strategic highlighting of notes, filtering outside noises, lighting (study environment), scheduling, nutrition, tools and resources, multiple intelligence, and others.

Taught Business Law at the Los Angeles Mission College in Sylmar, California. I introduced my students to a variety of course subjects ranging from basic court procedures to the more demanding concepts such as tort law, product liability, intellectual property and internet law, the principles of contract law, corporate law, consumer law, and real property law. My overall objective was to enhance my students' analytical skills as they interfaced with case law and contemporary legal issues. Also taught Business Management. My students were taught the principles of management. The textbook used was the "Fundamentals of Management" by Irwin/McGraw-Hill Press, which has been identified by management faculty as one of the best management textbooks in the country. The core concepts taught were: management and the environment, managing work and organizations (planning, organizing, controlling), managing people in organizations (leading), managing production and operations; and special management topics on entrepreneurship and careers in management.
