German is one of my top subjects! I am native German living in Cathedral City, CA. I am self-employed as a freelance translator. My language pair is English to German and vice versa. I passed the German vocabulary and grammar skills tests through oDesk.com above average. My favorite is creative article writing in my mother tongue.

I gained proficiency through my work as a translator over the last years. I moved to the United States in 2009 and shortly after I began to study for my tests. Among the different online providers I chose ODesk.com since it has the best reputation for translation/writing related employment opportunities. Writing and language has a long tradition in my family. My last name Lies in German is the imperative of -to read- in English. Reaching back to the 15th century, most of the male members of my family tree were printers.

I taught English as a second language to adults and children in Austria and Germany while living there (total 4 years). I speak fluent German and lived in Europe for a total of 13 years. In LA, I taught english to a number of Korean and Japanese young adults. I taught at Inlingua and WIFI Institute in Austria and at a business english school in Hamburg.
We play word games, read out loud, discuss cartoons and ask each other questions/answers. Try to vary up the hour. I am a very patient teacher and try to assess if the student is understanding all that I am teaching. I ask plenty of questions and try to get them to communicate with me and others in the group, if it's a class situation.

At Loyola University, as director of the Writing Lab, I used peer tutoring and computers to assist students in the composition classes. I developed a love for tutoring and remediation -- for the student who needs one-on-one instruction. I allow the student to be successful. Every lesson must end in success and praise. It also helps that I have a good sense of humor and a knack for discovering each student's personal interests and melding those into the lessons. It's imperative instruction be individualized, positive and patient.
After I got my BA and Illinois secondary school certification, I pursued my MFA in Playwriting at the University of Utah. I forged a career as a writer and journalist. My liberal education in history and the arts deeply benefited me. Since 1990, I've been a full-time editor for several daily newspapers and magazines, and I continue a profitable freelance w ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very patient teacher and meet students on their level, speak and relate to them with respect and love---and teach them according to their needs and skill levels. If a student is difficult to work with, I will not hesitate to steer off the subject path for a few minutes to discuss something that interests them--this gains their respect and creates a bond with the student--then I steer us back to the subject at hand. I am a very flexible home-teacher and I meet students exactly where they are at in terms of learning styles, intelligence, patience. etc.
I have 10 years experience with Morongo unified School district as a substitute teacher, a student teacher, and now a home teacher. I have spent 7 years as a home teacher--all grade levels--all major subjects. I work with students that are expelled or suspended or have a mediacl condition that prevents them from attending publi ... read more

As a college graduate, I have been educated on a wide variety of topics which I achieved high academic excellence. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in communication disorders and psychology. These subjects have allowed me to gain knowledge about the basic maths and sciences as well as about people. Moreover, through my college experience, I have extremely sufficient grammatical skills due to the numerous research papers I have written. Since high school, I have mentored 4th and 5th grade students in reading and math, taught Girl Scouts life skills, and assisted many peers in studying the areas of communication disorders and psychology.
I have a talent for teaching and love to help students learn material in a way other than how it is traditionally taught. I believe everyone has a different learning style and it is important to teach in ways that a variety of students under ... read more
