German Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lakeside, CT

I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I love being able to help students feel comfortable with the material they are studying. I have tutored numerous times throughout college, and would like to get back into tutoring students because I find it to be rewarding. As a student who went from living in Germany and being taught that there are many ways of getting the right answer, to moving to America where everything is taught in one way, I have learned to incorporate my tutoring skills to the need of each individual student. I try to figure out what works best for every individual and help them focus on their strength and improve their weaknesses. My teaching style depends on the student. I am comfortable with trying different study methods in order to figure out why my student is having trouble with a particular subject.

I enjoy teaching and I love languages; language and culture are two sides of the same coin. I believe everybody can learn, but each in different ways. I'm told that I have a way of making people curious and eager to learn, not limited by the ability to transfer my own passion and fascination for languages to others. I am available to help your child find academic success. I believe in a "natural way" of acquiring ability to speak and internalize another languages. I have found that connecting and integrating the real world, actual situations and happenings in the teaching process is preferable and beneficial. I have a bachelor’s degree from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, (major subject: Social Anthropology). Other university subjects are Sociology, Media/Communication, Literature and French. I am well read and I have a wide spectrum of interests. Since the late 80’s I have

I believe that a love of school and learning begins with confidence in one's own abilities. Some find it easy, and others need a certain dose of encouragement and guidance to gain that self-assurance. As a tutor, I think it’s important to provide consistent practice and celebrate small successes so that the student rediscovers how good it feels to do well. In addition to regular exercises, I take the time to explain how and why things work and what their applications are in life outside school. I believe that this helps the student understand the rationale behind their efforts and can spark more enthusiasm to learn. I also try to identify each student’s special talents and incorporate them into my curriculum. That way, they can learn to identify what they are good at and how to apply those skills to any subject. I have always loved to teach – even as a child in front of a tiny blackboar

As a graduate of an intense Honors Program with proficiency in multiple subjects, I have lent a helping hand towards other students as well as those who are younger than myself. From high school on, I served my community as a mentor, and tutor available during my senior year as a PAL (Peer Academic Leader). During college I accumulated many volunteer hours in elementary classrooms and from 2005-2009 worked annually as a summer camp counselor for the City of Milford. Additionally, on top of graduating at the top of my program, I worked at various restaurants full time in college, and worked abroad for five weeks. The most important characteristic in helping a child learn is to not only demonstrate a profound knowledge of material, but channel one's charisma into helping motivate the learner. Making it interesting, teaching in several different planes, and understanding how t

I graduated Rutgers University majoring in Biology and German, and minoring in Chemistry. I have a strong science background, which I will continue to expand by completing a PhD at Yale starting in the Fall. I have experience tutoring students in math during the last 2 years of high school, and 1 year of calculus tutoring in college. In addition, I tutor my 13 year-old sister in all the subjects of her curriculum. My approach is to determine the student's weaknesses, and then formulate analogies to explain the difficult concepts. I study the student's learning style in order to infuse the new material as easily as possible. Additionally, I introduce new ways to understand the material, and then observe the student's reaction.

I taught a computer "cap-stone" class to graduating seniors part-time at the Katherine Gibbs school for 1 semester. There were approximately 14 Seniors in the class and we utilized all of the Office programs from the creation of letterheads to the writing of business correspondence to mythical persons about various subjects. Subsequently I tutored high school seniors for the Princeton Review, an SAT prep business, for about a year and a half. This experience included working with many types of students and was a perfect venue to utilize my extensive consulting experience. As a turnaround management consultant for over 25 years, I was continually "teaching" people to implement the changes required to succeed. My teaching style is a combination of serious, in-depth theory and practical examples to demonstrate such theories, all with a hint of humor, followed by significant practice

I enjoy teaching and have learned that the best way to teach is to listen. I have great patience and find it a challenge to find"the" way to teach a particular student. I learned much of this from my Father who taught for 40 years at college level. In my job I have been teaching my clients for 30 years. While I hold a BA in American Labor History, I have a deep knowledge base of Central Asian, Near East and Asian history obtained from business experience. While my clients have been adults I have tutored children on an informal basis when asked.

I have two daughters, two years apart, but only one grade apart. They both do very well academically and embrace the process of learning. At home we focus more on learning and how to search for answers than on simple memorization. I have found that this has given Emma and Claudia an advantage over their peers, as neither are "hung up" on what they remember, but focus on how to use what they've learned and to apply it as a tool in learning increasingly challenging and rewarding concepts. That written, the paths they travel in the searching/learning process are very different and a reflection of each personality. I am very tolerant and have found that appealing to a child's sense of humor is a very important first step to putting them at ease. Temper this encouragement with a consistent standard for success, I have found that all individuals rise to the challenge. Lastly, I strive t
