Your DOWNTOWN Tutor

Jeanne
LaVallee

personal statement

I am a seasoned Educator! The journey began a few decades ago in Paris, as an Intern Instructor at the Ecole des Beaux Arts Appliqués, and continued at private schools in New England. Later, in Germany, I taught ESL. After re-locating to New York City, I pursued teaching positions at public and private middle, high, and test prep schools. I worked as a professional tutor for Central Park Tutors and privately for several years. I taught remotely throughout the pandemic, and in a hybrid format at a private high school.

In addition, I have several published pieces of writing, including:

“The Impress of Heinrich Zimmer’s Teachings on C.G. Jung’s Profession”, in Quadrant,

Journal of the C.G. Jung Foundation for Analytical Psychology (non-fiction);

and So Far from Story Street: A Novel (historical fiction).
