German is one of my top subjects! I hold a BA degree in German and an MAT as well as having lived and worked in Germany. In tutoring, I will work with any text with which the student requires assistance. When the choice of text is left to me, I prefer the Deutsch Aktuell series. Supplemental reading of children's books, like Charlotte's Web in German, is available if desired, in order to provide grammar and vocabulary reinforcement. I also make extensive use of German language websites such as the German versions of Sesame Street and Yahoo as well as Deutsche Welle.

12 years of one-on one tutoring Latin and German, 5 years of teaching high school German (I have also lived and worked in Germany), and 18 years as a Latin teacher. While I have taught a wide range of subjects and ages, German and Latin are my current preferred subject areas. I have tutored, or classroom taught, language students from ages nine through adult, including married couples, and currently teach a German four hours per week teens' class.
No, absolutely no pressure at any time. Patience, patience, patience. And there can't be too much encouragement. I aim to foster a love of learning and a genuine interest in the subject matter. It really should be fun, and if it's not, I wouldn't be doing my job.

German is one of my top subjects! I have taught German for many years now, having studied in Munich and lived there for almost 15 years. I am at the level of a native speaker regarding proficiency. I use a modern teaching method based on scientific evidence that children learn 60% of their native language by listening, 30% by speaking, and only 5% each by reading and writing. Learning should be fun, so although grammar is important, the ability to understand and be understood should remain in the forefront.

Although grammar is important, languages are acquired overwhelmingly by listening (60%) and speaking (30%), whereas only 5% each by reading and writing. I view myself more as a coach than a "teacher", using a modern didactic method also known as accelerated learning. Learning should be fun, otherwise, something is not right, and I always try to find out what that "something" is.
In the past 30 years, languages have been my passion. I have worked as a teacher, proofreader/editor, and also as a translator. I have taught everything from classes to private lessons, children to senior citizens with success and enthusiasm. I always try to find out what my students love, and start working from this to help them achieve their goals.

More About This Tutor...

Because of my experience in teaching my own children, I have discovered that no child is too young to learn. Often people will not consider an infant or toddler a "functioning human being" until the child can speak. This is so inaccurate! I taught one of my daughters to read at age four. My teaching style is to engage the student on a personal level through cheerful conversation and sharing of interests, then to assess learning styles, strengths, and challenges. Children perform well when expectations are complimentary to them, and when they are given the tools and nurture to accomplish their dreams.
I graduated from high school as number eleven in rank out of 248. I often assisted other students in both high school and college. Later, as a homeschooling mother of four, I taught all of my children all subjects through the eighth grade level. I just returned from the island of Saipa ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have trained students in a laboratory, restaurant and in the home. I graduated from college with honors and have succeeded in statistics, algebra 2, calculus 1, biology 1, chemistry 1, English literature, professional writing, civics, sketching/painting and classical guitar
It's imperative to listen and understand a students challenges. Reviewing their previous work and giving a current test is a good indicator of the situation. I believe in practice and examples as the clearest path to success. I don't hand deliver answers and I make the process towards answers engaging. I make sure the time and place are conducive to active and non-distractive learning. I relay the importance and relevance of the material. I recap previous lessons and try to integrate them into current assignments. I always value and respect people and expect the same of my students.

A Little Bit About Me...

As native French with excellent writing skills and strong bases in French culture and literature. My experience as an assistant in arts and crafts in French elementary school and a recent internship in foreign languages classes in French middle school helped me to build self-confidence in teaching French. My recent experience in one-to-one tutoring with adults made me confident in teaching French to adults as well as children.
I encourage learning by using a number of different fun and immersive activities based on the use of real French documents. My goal is to make each lesson a mini adventure in the world of French culture.

I believe in constructivism. Students learn more when they make their own learning. They need to see the real world application of the material and how it applies to them. I try to create tasks that are hands-on, use authentic materials, and encourage students to collaborate with others and think outside of the box.
I have taught high school in three different countries: Germany, UK and USA. I am passionate about foreign languages and social studies, and I care about my students. It is my intention to broaden their horizons and help them reach their potential as students and as human beings.
