I'm from Austria and I'm a Native German Speaker. I always base my teaching style on my clients needs. Hi everyone, I was born and grew up in Austria, and my native language is German. In order to improve my English, I spent ten months as an au pair in Minnesota, and in August 2010, I moved to Minneapolis. Learning a second language can be hard and I think the best way to learn a new language is to listen, speak, and read it as much as possible. My experience includes my knowledge of German simply through daily usage. I didn't study the German language, but I tutor for over 3 years and I thought and learned a lot about the German Grammar.I will be able to help with expanding your conversation skills and increasing your German vocabulary.

The best validation I have for my teaching style is to watch my students. They are well-rounded in their knowledge and confident in their performance. I believe in enabling my students, showing them skills that will help them become independent learners. I believe that every person has strengths. When I meet my students for the first time I find out what those strengths are, and we start from there. My teaching approach is very much centered on the person I am teaching, and starting from his/her level of understanding, building confidence at each step along the way. I love teaching all ages, and delight in each stage of learning. I have been a piano teacher for 29 years, teaching privately in my home studio. I am insatiable in my pursuit of knowledge, and have wide interests. My first degree in history and philosophy influenced me in how I approached all other fields of study. I

I have over 40 years of work experience in full-time and contract accounting positions in the Twin Cities. The industries range from large and complex public school districts to small insurance environments to manufacturing and service firms. I taught beginning accounting for a couple of years at a local private college. I also am a published musical composer and have a moderate knowledge of German. My style is one of collaboration - I learn as my clients might. I am patient and love to use examples and analogies. I am never satisfied until "all the lights are on", so to speak, and will find whatever means it takes to elicit student understanding.

Being a French native speaker I love teaching "my" language at any level, from PS to HS and adults. At home I speak French to my children. I am very confortable with German too as I speak German with my husband. Everyone has different learning abilities but I believe that given the right "tools" everyone can meet his/her potential. I can teach from books as well as have conversation courses. My mother language is French. I studied German for 8 years and went to Germany to improve my skills. I studied English for 5 years, went to England and passed the Cambridge Proficiency Diploma. I have lived in France, Switzerland, Germany and England before moving to the States and been travelling extensively. I have taught French to adults evening classes in the German part of Switzerland. Last year I was a long-term full time French sub-teacher at the International School of Minnesota for a wide

I have a BA in English and a Master's and Ph.D. in German (Germanic Linguistics). I have taught English literature as a substitute in junior and senior high schools, college level German, linguistics, English reading and writing and English as a Second language. I have taught and tutored children and adult learners. My teaching experience has been in Germany, California and Minnesota. I also tutored ACT/SAT in Minnesota. I enjoy teaching students of all ages, individually or in groups. I find the Socratic method most useful, and with children this translates into making the subject (i.e. German grammar) seem like a puzzle that, with some effort, can be solved. I think students are best served when they can discover these answers for themselves.

I believe that the purpose of tutoring is to help students help themselves, or to assist or guide them to the point at which they become an independent learner. I know that the content knowledge is an essential ingredient for a tutor; however, to be truly effective, i believe a tutor must combine content knowledge with empathy, honesty and humor. In addition I demonstrate a caring attitude. Caring consists of being organized for the tutoring session, being punctual and gaining the students trust. I studied post secondary in high school and graduated in the top ten of my class. I was on the deans list every year of my college career. I was a teachers aid at the University of Minnesota for three years in the anatomy department. I was a the lead embalmer for the University and worked for the Anatomy bequest program.

Ever since elementary school, I have known that I wanted to spend my life in the Physics field. Academically, it enabled me to excel in my Physics science courses I enjoyed the work so greatly that I would strive for perfection, and often do more than was required. I have been involved in a number of research projects that allowed me to use the theory that I learned in class in a more practical manner. In addition to the results of the research, I increased my research skills and learned how research projects work, which is aiding me as I pursue my Ph.D. Through my Physics related employment, I learned many aspects of the Physics field that only come from being in the workforce. The work habits and experience I gained there will help me in whatever I pursue in life.

My goal is to provide the best educational experience possible for any student I would teach. I would do my best to vary my approach for different subjects, and to provide a variety of experiences and settings. My desire would be that the student would enjoy learning as much as possible, because the more they enjoy it, the more motivated they will be to learn, not only when I am with them, but also on their own. I am very relaxed and friendly, and although my style is somewhat informal, I would still expect excellence from my students. Ultimately, I want every student of mine to be successful, as defined by them and their parents. I have shown that I am both an excellent student, and very well qualified to teach others. I have two bachelor degrees, a BA in German and a BSN in Nursing, which has provided me with a well-rounded education in both the liberal arts and the sciences. I d

As the grandson of a French immigrant to the US, I have always shared a close connection to France, it's culture, and beautiful language. After falling in love with French film I added French as a second major, graduating with a BA in 2007. During school I had the opportunity to substitute teach middle school and high school students. After graduation I taught underprivileged high school students in a summer program and moved to France the following fall. While in France I taught conversational English to post-secondary students for a year. As you can see from my experience, I am comfortable with working with students of all ages. My goals in teaching are to stimulate interest, provide real life applicable skills, and facilitate cross-cultural understanding and communication. I believe that students can best achieve these goals through interactive and communicative means. In order
