My comments on tutoring German : I'm from Austria and I'm a Native German Speaker.

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.
I always base my teaching style on my clients needs.

My comments on tutoring German : I am proficient in German, having taken the equivalent to 4 semesters of the language in College.

I work hands-on, using examples. However, I am readily able to adjust to new learning styles!
I have taken creative writing and journalism courses. I have experience in the journalism field, and won an award for one of my stories. I have also done much writing on my own, including writing a full-length novel (in the works of being edited with hopes of publication). I am an avid reader and my reading comprehension/writing scores on tests have always been well above average.

More About This Tutor...

I love to learn and help others do the same, whether it is helping a high school dropout pursue and finish their GED or teaching and mentoring children and young adults in volunteer settings; I love to teach, but more importantly, I enjoy trying to find the best way or creative ways to help others learn, understand and grow as people. My teaching style would be described by others as friendly, firm and yet very creative but thorough.
As a graduate of the University of Saint Thomas, I have an English degree and am a few classes/credits short of a Business Administration degree. At Bethel University I pursued a Secondary Education teaching certificate. Seeing an opportunity to teach high school english in Texas, I pursued teaching and volunteer teaching while living and working in Texas. I have extensive experience in writing business letters, legal documents, and preparing and p ... read more

I focus on conducting my classes solely in the target language. I want my students to feel confident and have fun in speaking French. I am also dedicated to the teaching of correct grammar. I have worked with students from beginners to advanced. When given the opportunity I have designed my class to meet the students specific needs for language acquisition. Patience, creativity in teaching, and positive approach are my 3Rs to teaching French
I earned a BA in philosophy and French literature with a minor in Spanish. I also hold a MA in juvenile law and justice from the Universite of Pau et des pays de l'Adour in Pau France.

I have received a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a Bachelor of Arts in English. I have worked for several years as an electrical engineer. One of my responsibilities as an engineer was to train recent college graduates. I wrote and taught new employees the basics of engineering. I would assist them on their first few projects.
I like teaching by doing. I believe it helps the student when they can see what they are learning put into use. I am very patient and do no mind repeating things or explaining them in another way that the student understands. In my Spanish classes, I would often lead study groups of several students.

Every child and adult learns differently. It is imperative that adaptation to an individual's learning style is addressed. I truly believe that everyone can be successful academically. I want my students to learn within their own comfort zones. I strive to create as many avenues to learn as I can so that each student can be successful.
I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I am enrolled in a doctoral program currently to earn my Ed.D in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. I have a great amount of experience in research and writing and have been teaching at-risk youth for 2 years. Primarily, I teach all Social Studies classes. However, I am very comfortable tutoring and teaching English, Composition, and Science classes such as Biology, High School Genetics, and Anatomy.

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 to achieve this I prefer to use methods such as simulations, group work, and class or small group discussions. Through my experience I find that students are more interested when they are individually involved in the learning process.
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 ... read more

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 ... read more
