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.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Stanford graduate, I have worked in a variety of capacities teaching students, including as a classroom teacher for English Composition in Africa, as a German tutor for high school students, and as an editor and proofreader for a variety of essay types. I am confident tutoring and advising in a broad spectrum of humanities and liberal arts subjects, including English and other languages, writing, etc. I am available to assist both with classroom studies and with test or college prep.
Whether I am working with a single student or a classroom full of students, my teaching style focuses on ensuring that my students understand any key work we are doing before moving on.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 writing career. I taught for Loyola University, New Orleans, and two business colleges, and currently teach the composition, computer applications, and speech requirements for a local branch of Kaplan University -- a private business school.
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 en ... read more

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.
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.
