German is one of my top subjects! I speak with native fluency and a near perfect accent.

Communication is the paramount goal, so even though grammar is a bit of specialty of mine (Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, etc.) I prioritize coaching the ability to exchange information and ideas clearly over any major focus on the finer points of German grammar...of which there are many. I generally find that tutoring students do best when I give them a small an digestible dose of grammar at the start of a session and practice homework on this at the end of the session but keep 90% of time dedicated to practicing oral communication and listening skills.
In addition to the last four years of teaching high school German, while doing research in Germany and Austria for my PhD dissertation, I worked as a tutor for the Berlitz language company and as a translator of business documents from German into English. In this capacity, I tutored both individual students at their h ... read more

Teaching is all about- 1) imparting the right knowledge set 2) making sure that the student has understood the dynamics of a subject and remembers it all ! I believe that patience is a great attribute while teaching. Along with patience, I believe I can communicate to the level of the student I am teaching, thus making sure that all concepts are well understood at the level of each student. I wish to make a difference in the lives of each student and to create a liking for the subjects I teach in my students. By making a teaching session interesting, I believe that I foster better memory in the subjects involved and make life easier for my students.
Teaching is all about making sure that one imparts the correct piece of information and knowledge in a way as to indoctrinate it into the minds of students, so that they enjoy what they learn and consequently remember all ... read more

I believe the key to academic success is ensuring the student feels a sense of accomplishment and pride in self. My method of teaching focuses on determining the best learning style and beginning with lessons that will bring about success, and then challenging the student gradually. I try to make learning fun, while encouraging questions and an "out-of-the-box" approach to problem solving. The ultimate goal is to develop an independent and motivated learner.
I currently work as a professional science/health writer, and I have a keen grasp of literature comprehension, grammar, and composition. I have tutored students in English, math, and science. Additionally, I have volunteered as a soccer coach, Sunday school teacher, and "Hands-On Science" instructor in the classroom. I previously taught private swimming lessons and piano lessons for children.

I believe it is important to determine what kind of learner each kid is (visual, auditory, and hands-on). This allows me to figure out a way to effectively transmit what I need in manners that would be understandable to the person I am working with. I realize that some subjects might leave little room for extreme creativity on teaching but it is still possible.
I am a current graduate student in the field of Public Health and policies. I have graduated with a bachelor in public administration, both of these majors allowed me to have a clear understanding on the different techniques required to write a good essay. The diversity in each professor that I have had also allowed me to get familiar with diverse writing techniques and reading techniques. My classes also allowed me to be better acquainted with the world of public speaking and how to make it efficient. My associate degree in ... read more

I have a special interest in ESL students, having myself experienced what it is like as a child to be immersed in a foreign culture and school without speaking the language. As an adult, I also understand how critical it is to have strong English communication skills to succeed in today’s competitive marketplace. I had rewarding career in the business world having worked for a top ten Fortune 500 company. I recently made the transition to teaching and work for HISD. I am currently a sub for all grade levels and have +120 hours instruction time in bilingual classrooms and have passed my TeXes EC-4 and ESL supplemental K-12 exams.
I have a holistic approach that goes beyond just helping a person with homework or test prep. I like to combine tutoring and coaching services. 1. Often students hire a tutor after they are falling behind in school. The first goal is to develop a pla ... read more
