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.

My German language curriculum is developed according to the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning. Along with the academic study of the language I apply various communication and interactive assignments. Furthermore I engage the students in conversations on a variety of topics in order to provide and obtain information, express feelings and emotions, and exchange opinions. I develop insight into the nature of language through comparisons between German and English language as well as knowledge and understanding of the the cultures in the German-speaking countries. My goal is to make the German language study a personal enjoyment and enrichment for the students.

Experienced German Tutor in Pittsburgh

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.
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.

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.

Casual and conversational; focused with opportunities to explore the nuances of the language and its usage
I am a highly-experienced speaker and tutor of German with 4.5 years of tutoring experience. As a teenager, I attended the annual Statewide German Competition in San Antonio, TX, competing in various fields such as sight-reading, writing, comprehension, and conversation. I scored in the 90th percentile on the National Exam for three consecutive years; in 2011, I received the highest score in the state of Texas. In 2010, I was able to travel to Schwaebisch Hall, Germany, for a six-month study abroad program, where I lived with a German family and attended school to achieve an immersive experience. My students show marked improvement in their abilities with German. I am projected to receive my BA in German in May 2016. I specialize in translation, conversation, and grammar.

More About This Tutor...

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 participating in solving the problem, as opposed to simply giving them the right answer. I also think I'm able to simplify problems so that students aren't just "going through the motions" and are actually understanding how to solve a problem.
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 i ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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

A Little Bit About Me...

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

I think it's important to listen to what learners and students have to say. I approach teaching first as a learner; I learn what the student's main concerns are and what goals they have for themselves. Second, I teach and leave room for questions, concerns and confusion. This approach to teaching focuses on the major concerns of the student (or parent)rather than focus on an overarching theme like how to read or how to write. If the student's only concern is how to use a comma, then that will be the focus of the lesson rather than focusing entirely on all grammar.
I have earned a bachelor degree in English Writing with a minor in German Language and Literature. While enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh, I also completed a certificate in Public and Professional Writing. I've worked as a writer for national companies, including Orient Watch, Tarte Cosmetics and EcoSMART, as well ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a recent university graduate with a bachelor of science degree in French Education K-12 (major) and a minor in German. I have completed one year of teaching in Howard County Public Schools in Maryland. I have been an active reading, math, and English as a foreign language tutor since 2003 and have completed various student teaching experiences.
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 mak ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 committed to just one teaching style. As someone who developed later in life in terms of academic achievement, I know the importance of patience and passion in the education of children. I believe it is important to communicate without discouraging children. Learning is a process and cannot be rushed or forced upon anyone. I strive to make a difference in the lives of children and I believe I can achieve such a goal by teaching.
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 ski ... 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.

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.
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.
