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.

My teaching style is mentoring, or sharing of knowledge, in combination with promoting the understanding of consequences. I strongly believe that learning can and should be an enjoyable experience for student, teacher and any other involved parties, such as parents. While some subjects may require rote memorization, I always try to explain the underlying reason, purpose and benefit of the material being taught. I also recognize the importance of listening and understanding the student's learning style in order to most effectively and efficiently obtain the desired learning outcome. I am an accountant by occupation, and my tutoring experience is primarily as a volunteer, because I love learning and helping others to learn. I gave beginning piano and music theory instruction to a student who went on to become a professional flutist. I also taught beginning piano and music theory lesso

I am very excited to be working with children and young adults in a field that I am continuously learning more about. Every child can learn and it is my job to understand what works best for every child. I am very patient, flexible but I do have high expectations for every child because every child deserves to have the best expected from them. I am currently student teaching as an English as a Second Language teacher through the Masters program at Hamline University and will be applying for my teaching license in March, 2010. I have extensive experience working with non-native English speakers both inside and outside the classroom. I also have spent over 10 years studying French and spent a semester abroad in France, so I am familiar with all the aspects of language learning both as student and as a teacher. I have volunteered at Weaver Elementary in Maplewood,MN with ESL children in

I have two goals in teaching french as a foreign language. The first goal is to make my students proficient in the french language. I incorporate sound pedagogical methods in my instruction to meet the learning objectives of each course, and make use of modern technology in order to keep instruction interesting and efficient. The second goal is to instill the same joy of learning about a foreign language and cultures as I have experienced myself during the course of my education. Iwish to show my students the benefits of linguistic and cross-cultural knowledge: open-indedness, cultural sensitivity, entertainment and personal gratification. I transmit my knowledge, my curiosity and enthusiasm to my students and colleagues.

I have a very communicative teaching style with languages, where it is important for the student to hear and speak the language as much as possible to learn it better. I also actively teach memory tricks (mnemonic devices, songs, etc) to help with memorization. I am very patient. I am always working to find ways to teach to students with different abilities, in my own classroom, as well as during my year's experience as a teaching assistant in a Special Education department of a local high school. I am a licensed MN French teacher. I speak near-native French. I taught ELL to French children and adults in Paris for 4 years, and in the US have taught ELL and French to kids from the ages of 5-18, and also have taught adults in community education programs. I am happy to work with your student to target speaking, writing, memorizing vocabulary, understanding grammar... I offer the advan

In a one-on-one teaching situation, I like to begin with a needs assessment followed by setting up an individualized learning plan with student and parental input. This would include specified milestones and learning objectives. I am patient and organized, and I like to incorporate a variety of teaching methods to accommodate different learning styles. Learning another language can be fun and rewarding given the right circumstances. Following five years of teaching high school Spanish, I continued teaching others by volunteering as an English as a Second Language tutor and later transitioning into corporate learning and development where I now design and deliver customized training to adults. I've continued to use Spanish as our daughter attended a Spanish Immersion elementary school, during which time we hosted three teaching assistants from Latin America.

I believe that, when learning a language, the most important thing for a student is that they feel comfortable enough to have confidence to speak. This confidence can only be reached in a relaxed environment where the student does not feel judged or threatened. Therefore I make it a priority to communicate with the student and be flexible enough to work best with them. Another vital factor in learning language is that the student is interested. Therefore, my lessons are not just filled with boring explanations and impossible problems, but I give the student interesting facts and plenty of opportunity to see the progress they make. Having studied German for nine years, my interest in and understanding of language has definitely grown. Learning different languages has always been a fun and rewarding pastime for me, and it is even more fun and rewarding to help others gain proficiency i

I have 15 years of experience teaching English to expatriates and their families in Michigan. I have worked with students from Germany, France, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Japan and China. I worked with individuals who came to the United States to work in the auto industry and related fields. I taught employees at their place of business and their spouses and children at their homes. I also studied several languages while I was in school so I understand how challenging it is to learn a language and adjust to a new setting while working and raising a family. I enjoy working individually with a student so I can get a sense of their learning style and what their needs and goals are for improving their English. I work hard to find the right materials for each student and make sure that each student is being challenged enough. I also think it is important for a student to enjoy their classes

I like to interact with people from different backgrounds from children to adults. My experience in Japan as a teacher at three public secondary school was extremely challenging but also exciting and rewarding. I am very friendly, patient and considerate. I emphasize the value of integrity and respect different cultures and people's background. As I believe the culture and society are strongly attached to the language acquisition,I would like to teach the culture of Japan as well to support the language acquisition. I am a bilingual speaker of Japanese and English. For the past seven years I have been employed as an English High School teacher in Tokyo, grades seven through nine, and I have found this experience to be not only challenging and exciting, but also extremely rewarding. Since I have relocated here in Minnesota permanently, I am now teaching my native language Japanese. I have

I embrace a unique passion for teaching children, especially for working with students on a one-on-one basis. I thrive on connecting with each student as an individual, and enhancing their academic lives in ways they may not get in other environments. I strive to "find" every child's gift, and celebrate it. I observe the strengths and weaknesses of each student, and work with the teaching team and parents to determine steps in building on each identified success and/or challenge. My dream is to forever work with children in an effort to provide them knowledge, safety, consistency, and love. I designed and taught a first-ever prekindergarten program at St. Anne School in Somerset, WI. I also directed and taught children's programs with the YMCA for children age birth through prekindergarten, having received the YMCA Focus Award for Excellence in Children's Programs.
