A Little Bit About Me...

I am a junior at USC-Upstate studying biology. I love learning and love teaching. I am strong in English, math, reading, writing, science (especially biology), and upper level psychology and sociology. I am reliable, patient, and kind. Education is number one and I really want to teach those that need help in certain subjects!

My comments on tutoring German : German native/fluent English professional actress with degree in acting. Specialized in conversation/ pronunciation/ preparation for lecture/ coaching

I am a native German with conservatory training in theatre. Both my training and subsequent career in Europe were of the highest caliber. I studied acting in Berlin at the Ernst Busch Hochschule für Schauspielkunst, and while still in my third year, I was recruited by the Berliner Ensemble, where I worked successfully as a company member for two years. Thereafter I joined Berlin’s Schaubühne, where I worked for another two years, again at the highest level of European theatre.
My approach to teaching is informal and fun, with an emphasis on conversation, including diction and pronunciation, colloquial speech and idioms, as well as public speaking and culture. What I have to offer would be especially useful for anyone with a working knowledge of German who wishes to improve his or her conversation skills, or who wishes to gain a deeper knowledge of the culture--in particular the key ... read more

German is one of my top subjects! I have been teaching German for almost 15 years in various venues: College, industrial settings, individual and classes. Business and technical German are additional fields I cover depending on your needs along with German grammar (from scratch to advanced), reading, listening, writing, and speaking skills. I offer Intercultural Training designed to help professionals in their respective business settings to better interact with their counterparts and become more efficient communicators according to their interlocutor's culture and background.

I have worked for almost fifteen years with students from all walks of life who desire to hone their language skills for many different reasons. My experience goes back to coaching, teaching, and training high-ranking professionals on a one-on-one basis to assembly-line workers in need of foreign language skills to better their careers, to students trying to get a decent grade in college, to privates with an interest for foreign cultures and a love for words, literature, and different lifestyles.The languages I have most often taught are German, Italian, ESL, and Koine Greek. Along with the mere teaching of these languages, I often engage in interpretation or translation as the needs arise among my clientele. Besides teaching foreign language I also offer International Cultural Training for expats from and to the US.
Depending on the needs and skills of the students, I will adjust ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I absolutely enjoy working with students of all ages. I place a high value on education because there is no replacement for this key component in a student’s quest for success. I have several years experience as a volunteer coach and understand all too well the delicate balance that exists between teaching, encouragement and constructive analysis. I am a hands-on teacher and firmly believe that clear instructions unified with connected repetition are vital for material comprehension. All students can not only meet, but exceed their academic expectations when given the right tools combined with positive reinforcement
I have earned two bachelor degrees, a BS in Information Science and a BA in Political Science. My graduate work is in Policy and Management from the College of Information at the Florida State University. I have been a substitute teacher for Hillsborough County, Florida ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I obtained my licensure through NCTEACH in Specific Learning Disabilities. I am Highly Qualified by way of Praxis exam. I have taught grades 6-12 in almost all disability identifications primarily math and language arts; however, have supported various other subject areas.
I believe that all students, regardless of gender, socioeconomic environment or ability, can learn and should be challenged with creative and applicable opportunities to achieve their best. Understanding that not all individuals learn in the same way, at the same rate or retention level, my responsibility as an educator is to create a safe learning environment that facilitates academic, social, and emotional growth that is developmentally appropriate. This enables those students entrusted to me to become active and contributing members of the community and encourages life-long learning.

More About This Tutor...

I am a strong proponent of self-directed learning. The best retention of material and new skills comes when a student finds the subject engaging and is able to relate the subject to their own experiences, passions, and goals. All people learn differently; therefore, it is helpful when a student is able to learn particular methods and study skills that will continue to benefit their future learning. I love asking questions that allow a young person to reach their own conclusions. As a child, I felt very much empowered when teachers and mentors supported my own explorations and created the spaces for me to learn in my own way.
I graduated from Stanford University with two bachelor degrees, BA in English Literature and Creative Writing and BA in Art and Art History. I am extremely competent in reading comprehension, composition, editing for grammar and content, and in constructin ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I strongly believe that the success of education depends on how well it targets a student's learning style and values. Everyone can learn, but individual attention is a vital part of that. We don't all learn the same way or at the same speed, and these differences should be addressed in a positive and creative way to both convey the subject material and strengthen a student's ability to learn in the future.
I received my B.A. in English from Appalachian State University where I also received training in education. Afterward, I became an instructor at Richmond Community College, teaching basic reading and math to adults with learning disabilities as well as a course on PC literacy & business training. In addition to classroom instruction, I've had one-on-one experience tutoring university students in English and Learning Skills.

More About This Tutor...

I have always had a desire to teach and be involved in education. After earning a degree in Broadcasting, I decided to change fields and get into teaching. I earned a CELTA (Certificate in English Teaching to Adults) from Cambridge University in 1999. Upon receiving that certificate I immediately began teaching English to adults. I first worked in an on-site language school environment and then later in a more freelance, corporate environment. After teaching adults for a few years I then began tutoring students in English conversation, grammar, written comprehension and expression and pronunciation.
I love working with children and young adults. My challenge as a tutor is to take something that is difficult and make it fun and understandable. Too often students look at teachers or adults as enemies, and I try to take a very laid-back, conversational approach when tutoring. ... read more
