German is one of my top subjects!

This is your time and your money so you shape the lessons, but I do have a few things that I insist on. - Grammar is very important and needs to be the cornerstone of all lessons, I will try to make grammar as painless as possible, but it is very necessary and frankly, I love it. - I will try to do the lesson in German as much as possible, you may struggle a bit, but don't worry, It will help you grow much faster - Homework is optional, but we can't move very fast if you don't practice outside of lessons
German I have studied German for 7 years. I began in the 8th grade, from there it quickly became a hobby of mine. After freshman year of high school I spent 3 weeks in Holzkirchen, at a language school. When I returned I skipped a year of German. Finding that not challenging enough, I skipped yet another year over winter break. So, by spring of my sophomore year, I was in AP Ge ... read more

My comments on tutoring German : Conversationally fluent in German. German is my 2nd language; I've been to Germany 12 times to visit my mom's family.

The process is just as important as the product. If a student can come up with the correct answer, but he or she has no idea how or why it is correct or how they got it, I feel like their learning is incomplete. Especially in Math, but also in many other subjects, concepts build upon each other. For this reason, I like to explain not just *how* to get there, but also *why* we got that answer; then students have a firmer foundation for the trickier concepts. I love seeing the lightbulb "go on," when kids finally "get it."
I have been a teacher for 7 years. I have taught in a small-town private, Christian two-room schoolhouse (K-8); I currently substitute teach for OPS, and have been to all but one school in the district. I have also tutored on and off over the years, both individually and in small groups, both privately and through school district or companies. I enjoy working with ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Most of my experience has been as an engineer. I have worked on projects in Europe, Asia, and all over North America. I got involved tutoring high school students while my sons were in high school. Recently, I completed an MA in Education, and taught science and math for about a year and a half in a couple of Louisiana High Schools. I have a broad background for providing real-world examples of implementations of math and science.
I enjoy seeing expressions of accomplishment when students truly grasp various concepts. I expect and demand "excellence," recognizing that "excellence" is a term relative to the student. It seems to me that students retain information most successfully when it has been presented so as to be personally relevant, so I attempt to tailor examples to the student's background.

I taught recitation for Honors Differential Equations, Differential Equations, Calculus 3, Calculus 2 and Introduction to Computer Science as an undergraduate at Georgia Tech and physics and astronomy labs as a graduate student at the University of Tennessee. I was consistently rated highly as a teacher by students.
I see teaching as a dialog between teacher and student and adjust the speed and depth of my teaching to best help the student succeed. Most importantly I want to the student to leave with a greater understanding of the subject than when they entered.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am confident that my college education at the University of Nebraska, interpersonal skills, direct work experience and passion for education and further learning make me a great candidate for this exciting opportunity. I am a former student-athlete at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I was a member of the Husker Tennis team. During those five years I tutored English to a wide range of multi-national students, helping them on a wide range of areas from grammar to rhetorical writing. I was a spokesman and representative for the Student Athlete Committee and engaged in numerous school visits helping children learn the fundamentals of English writing and successful presentation. My duties as a SAC representative included proofreading elementary level textbooks for English classes in Nebraska.
I am passionate about helping children engage in education. My previous experience o ... read more
