I love teaching German!

I am German (native speaker) and I've been working as a German teacher for five years now. I worked at language schools as well as at Middle and High schools in Italy (German as a foreign language). I lived in Germany until the age of 37 and worked as a journalist for the national televesion channel (ARD) for ten years. Then I moved to Italy and started working as a German teacher. I am now a mom of two (bilingual) children and love to work with children and teenagers as well as with adults.

Learning, in my experience, is best done in an environment with a minimum of anxiety and performance stress. I develop an individualized learning strategy that builds up student confidence and interest to increase stress tolerance required for testing situations. As interest and confidence increase, the student develops skills, willingness to work harder, and confidence and pride. Every student can learn and succeed. Each person has a unique access to new inf ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have over 10 years of teaching experience. I teach languages: English and Russian and have done so in Georgia(E.Europe), Russia, US, Boston. For example, while in Indonesia the students where culturally meek and required more encouragement in contrast to what students in the US would need. Therefore, I elaborated teaching style specific to the needs of each particular student.
I taught languages to students of various ages and nationalities, therefore, find it crucial to consider those specific features when approaching teaching style of any single student.

German is one of my top subjects!

My relationship with the German language started while I was in diapers and has only grown since. Evidence? My first word was "Licht" (light), I first called airplanes "Flieger" (small airplane) and I used to wag my pointer finger and warn those approaching the end of our driveway, "No, no Strasse!" (no, no street!). I was raised in the U.S. and spoke primarily English at home, but I've been exposed to German my entire life. My curiosity of the language kicked in early, motivating me to study German from sixth grade through college, obtain a degree in German and spend a year living in Germany on a government-sponsored fellowship. It was during my year in Germany that I realized how much I enjoyed teaching the language, as I tutored several young adults in Munich who had emigrated to Germany from countries such as Somalia and Iraq. During my work with them, I cultivated a tutor ... read more

If a child, an adult or a teenager doesn't like you, it will be difficult (impossible?) to have him (her) learn from you. Unless you are very strong and I am "nice": I don't like to be rude. So I would need to be appreciated in order to teach. That is why I focus when available on student that chose literature or that want to learn, not the one the parents force to learn. Then I am trying to make what sounds reluctant easy, attractive...
I worked also with Après la classe (“after classroom”) – 16, rue Commines BP 3003 75121 Paris Cedex 3 – as a tutor from November 1999 to January 2000 and had three pupils: a little girl of 6 years old; we did a lot of reading, a teenager of 13 years old (her sister); we repeated her History and a student of 20 years old that was studying to be a midwife and had bad marks in French literature: I tried to make her love to read but I think that today, ... read more

I am currently a graduate student in Medical Sciences at Boston University. I have taken many biology and chemistry courses during my studies, and I feel comfortable tutoring: molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, general/organic chemistry, and general biology. In addition, I have also taken the entire lower division math sequence for engineers, so I am able to teach elementary math up through calculus except for geometry. In addition, I am able to teach statistics and elementary physics as well. I have 1 year of experience tutoring high school students in an after school program in Oakland, CA.I have also tutored students from elementary up through the high school level.
I enjoy seeing the "A ha" moment that students get when a concept becomes clear to them. I am not a big fan of memorization and have encouraged students to not only understand the concepts, but to also li ... read more

My experience in tutoring has been with undergraduate students in their freshman, sophomore, or junior year. I lead study groups of 1 up to 20 students and explain to them concepts of statistics and probability. Throughout the two years doing this, I have greatly improved my communication skills by dealing with students in very different learning stages at the same time. I find leading a study group much more challenging than one-on-one tutoring, as I constantly have to keep up with everyone's questions. My good listening and concentration skills have helped me tremendously succeed in giving students a thorough understanding of the subjects and leaving with a positive feeling from the room. I have tutored approximately 100-150 students.
I truly enjoy breaking down complicated concepts to students. I use a lot of real world examples that they can relate to, rather than abstract prob ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have been a high school teacher of Latin and ancient Greek, for three school years, and I spent an additional school year as a high school librarian and study skills course teacher. I also have a year of college Latin instruction experience, and a year as a TA for an ancient history professor. Over the years, I have had at least three permanent clients as a tutor, working with ancient Greek, Latin, and German, and I have done other ad hoc tutoring and professional translation work.
I teach to a mastery learning approach appropriate for language instruction. I present the material first in accordance with the text presentation, and then drill and quiz to ascertain the level of comprehension over the next several days. I ask all students to answer sample questions, and I am looking to see who does not understand what, and why. When deficiencies are discovered, I represent mate ... read more
