German is one of my top subjects! I hold a Master’s degree from a German University and a diploma from a German language high school with all instruction in this language, provided by native German-speaking faculty. I have ten years of work experience teaching German language to children, students, adults and professionals as well as translating and interpreting. I have four years of experience as a distant learning program developer in German language. As a German language specialist and curriculum developer for the National Network of Digital Schools, I developed the German curriculum for all levels for several US cyber schools, including the PA Cyber School. I was responsible for creating, preparing, and uploading the online lessons, assignments, exams, exercises and voice recordings. Furthermore I have ten years of scientific work using exclusively the German language, as well as one year working on various Google projects in German.

Experienced German Tutor in Pittsburgh

I'm a German American who was born and raised in the US, but studied in both countries. I've studied German at the University, completed an intensive language course in Bamberg, and passed the final language examination for university acceptance. I've tutored people before ages ranging from 11-60, and of all different levels.
I like to teach german both by the book and conversationally. I always open up with conversation in every session, and use the book to help guide the lesson.

German and English ESOL Tutor

I studied the German language for 4 years at the University of Pittsburgh while I double majored in German and Linguistics. During these 4 years, I studied abroad for two summers in Germany, Berlin and Augsburg respectively. After I graduated, I received a Fulbright scholarship, which allowed me to live in Germany and teach English to German students for 1 year.

More About This Tutor...

As a law school graduate, I am well trained in writing and communication skills. While in law school I was awarded a position on the legal journal of Health Matrix: Journal of Law-Medicine. My duties as a member of the executive board were to manage the staff and tutor the other editors in writing skills as they developed articles worthy of publication in the journal. In addition to my experience in law school, I am currently clerking for a federal judge in downtown Pittsburgh where I write legal opinions and edit the work of other law clerks and interns. I believe that my experience in editing the work of others at a high level will prove to be a valuable asset in the tutoring of children in writing and reading skills.
In addition to my desire to practice law, I have a passion for the education of children. I believe children learn in many different ways and I am not committ ... read more

After completing a year as a teacher I realized that what I liked about teaching is the actual teaching part. Unfortunately for me, most of what was involved with being a teacher for me included tasks other than teaching, which was not what I had expected. I do very well with 1-on-1 tutoring and small group tutoring. The 11-15 age group is what I am especially interested in, but I have had experience with all ages from 4-25 years old. I have a lot of patience with students and passion for my subject (language), and what really makes me love teaching is being able to relate the subject to each individual in a personal way. By having students produce language and create written and spoken assessments about themselves, they are more likely to put information in their long-term memory. It is my goal to make students enjoy the learning process.
I am a recent university graduate wi ... read more

As a private tutor, I give lessons to students whose ages range from thirteen to adult, and whose level varies from beginner to advanced. I teach mostly conversational, and as we progress, I introduce basic grammar. Those who are already taking French in school or in college and need to come up to speed on their current curriculum can also benefit from my tutoring. I work with the textbook and help with the understanding of the lessons through various exercises.
I am a French native and have been living in the Pittsburgh area for 18 years. I have been a French Teacher and private Tutor since 2000.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching art is one of my favorite ways to apply my abilities. I am particularly passionate about comics and giving children the tools to express themselves through art and self-publishing, skills I hope they apply on their own after I am finished teaching them. I believe in giving children the same respect as adults whenever possible. In my experience, developing an authentic rapport with children is more effective than talking down to them.
I have volunteered teaching grade-school age children in theater at Sweetwater Center for the Arts in Sewickley, PA and teaching creative writing to fifth-grade students at the William H. Ray School in Chicago, IL. I have had paid positions teaching a workshop in comics to middle-school students at Sewickley Academy and teaching drawing and basic self-publishing at an after-school program in West Lebanon, NH. My education at CCS has included n ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As a high school German exchange student and subsequent German major, I have more than textbook knowledge of the German language. My fluency comes from real-world interactions as well as attending a German high school. I taught courses at the University of Richmond for students of German wishing to practice their language skills, yet whose competency may not have been to the standard for a traditional literature class. Furthermore, I received an International Baccalaureate Diploma with high marks for my high school subjects (concentrations in Music History and Theory, German Language, English Literature, and European History). The IB program is more rigorous than many college programs, and with this experience, I feel that I would be qualified to tutor any student in high school courses.
As a young college graduate, my own school days are not far behind me, and I remember acade ... read more

From high school to graduate school I have enjoyed being a scholar of many disciplines. In the last year, I took it upon myself to take what I know and teach it to young enthusiastic scholars, and it has been immensely rewarding. I only have a years worth of experience in tutoring mathematics, but I have tutored students in courses as advanced as Analytic Geometry and Calculus III to early college-level courses such as College Algebra.
I have enjoyed tutoring math students who are advanced learners and students who are beginning their study of college-level math. No matter their capability, each student's success is very important to me. I have often met with students outside of tutoring sessions to explain a problem, and had e-mail conversations with several students to ensure they're understanding material. In tutoring sessions, I like making sure each student is actively pa ... read more

My philosophy of teaching has been built upon my personal experience as a student, upon my theoretical education in Second Language Teaching Methodology class, and most importantly upon my teaching experience. For me, successful teaching of a second language implies: • Meaningful learning • Professionalism • Positive atmosphere in the class
I graduated from my Master´s at West Virginia University in May 2010. Spanish Literature is my main area of concentration and Linguistics is my second area of concentration. I am a native speaker of Spanish but I am also fluent in German, English and French. I graduated in May 2008 with my bachelor’s degree in Translation and Interpreting at Universidad de Valladolid, Spain. During this period, I studied abroad for four semesters in France and Germany, and also worked as an English instructor.

After assessing the individual's current knowledge of a particular subject matter, a review of the topic's basic rules would follow. The next procedure would involve passage reading and comprehension followed by implementation by putting "pen to paper". As with all cases of subject matter retention, repetition is the key to memory, closely accompanied by an understanding of the material and need for the application of the writing rules for student advancement.
Since graduating from college, I have engaged locally in the areas of insurance and financial services, selling and servicing all available products to a growing customer base. This was accomplished by active communication combined with advanced product knowledge dealing with a range of clients from various ages and backgrounds.

I have a BS in business and can tutor in any business related fields. In addition, my original college major was physics. I can and have taught physics, math, (up to differential equations) and physical sciences. I have also been an ameteur astronomer for 40 years and can teach courses in this dicipline. I am currently employed as an airline pilot and have earned all teaching certificates from the FAA.
My approach to teaching is more of a "why" approach. It is more important for students to know why something is or works rather than just how. This approach works well for middle and high school students. It allows students not only to understand the ideas taught but to apply them to other areas as well. I also like to use visual aids as well as conversation. I have found that many of us vary widely in learning styles. Some are visual learners, others are audio learners, and sti ... read more
