My comments on tutoring German : Conversationally fluent in German. German is my 2nd language; I've been to Germany 12 times to visit my mom's family.

The process is just as important as the product. If a student can come up with the correct answer, but he or she has no idea how or why it is correct or how they got it, I feel like their learning is incomplete. Especially in Math, but also in many other subjects, concepts build upon each other. For this reason, I like to explain not just *how* to get there, but also *why* we got that answer; then students have a firmer foundation for the trickier concepts. I love seeing the lightbulb "go on," when kids finally "get it."

German is one of my top subjects!

This is your time and your money so you shape the lessons, but I do have a few things that I insist on. - Grammar is very important and needs to be the cornerstone of all lessons, I will try to make grammar as painless as possible, but it is very necessary and frankly, I love it. - I will try to do the lesson in German as much as possible, you may struggle a bit, but don't worry, It will help you grow much faster - Homework is optional, but we can't move very fast if you don't practice outside of lessons
German I have studied German for 7 years. I began in the 8th grade, from there it quickly became a hobby of mine. After freshman year of high school I spent 3 weeks in Holzkirchen, at a language school. When I returned I skipped a year of German. Finding that not challenging enough, I skipped yet another year over winter break. So, by spring of my sophomore year, I was in AP Ge ... read more
