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.

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 began learning German as a child, learned throughout intermediate, high school, and college. Having hosted a German foreign exchange student in high school really boosted my conversational proficiency as well as improved my accent. Having visited Germany 3 times also has helped to boost my fluency.

I have been fluent in conversational German for 27 years, having first learned as a child, continuing my learning formally through all measures of schooling having studied the language for 9 years in all. While I was in still in high school I began helping other students with their German assignments, translations, dialects pronounciations, and grammar. I tutored throughout college as well. Since that time I've been involved in educating the Pennsylvania Dutch (really Pennsylvania German) as to words in Standard German that they have lost over time in order to facilitate a cultural farming exchange of information and ideas. The idea is to allow German organic seed companies to be able to work directly with Amish farmers in order to help minimize negative environmental impacts. I've also privately tutored those wishing to improve upon their German skills at every level - from novice to ex ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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

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.

I have a strong business background, with an MBA, CPA, and CIA. However, as a student at Susquehanna University, I also volunteered at least 2 days a week at a local preschool where I helped teach the students. In addition, I worked at a local elementary after-school program 2 days a week. I am currently pursuing my teaching certification through Drexel University.
While I enjoy business, working with children is my passion, hence why I am pursuing my teaching certification. I believe the best way to teach students any skill is to let them have hands on experience with it. As an example, in order to learn business skills, students need to practice the skills and understand their relevance in the real world.

More About This Tutor...

After growing up with both parents in the teaching profession I received my undergraduate degree in business from the University of Delaware. After working in the field of business, I realized the business world was not for me. I felt my calling was in education, just like my parents. That is when I decided to attend Drexel University to pursue my masters in education.
Being positive facilitates healthy relationships and ensures that students are comfortable in the classroom. A solid and healthy rapport with the student breeds a sense of belonging and allows the students to open up to the teacher. A positive atmosphere also makes students want to succeed and meet expectations set forth for the class.
