I am a native German speaker who has tutored German students in English while living in Germany. I know German poetry and songs.

I also have experience in tutoring German students in English . I have a very laid back approach to teaching which I custom tailor to each individual student and his or her need and requirements.

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. I am a patient teacher, but I do not allow students or tutees to "slack off" or "just get by." I will hold my students' feet to the fire until I am sure that they truly do understand what we are working on, and not th

I have Bachelor's Degree with Honors in Chemistry from Dartmouth College. My college experience has provided me with a well-rounded education and the skills to tutor a variety of subjects. Throughout high school and college, I have tutored students in various levels of math, chemistry, and writing. I also speak Vietnamese, German, and Spanish. I thoroughly enjoy helping students succeed in academics and achieve their full potential. Not only am I knowledgeable in the subjects I teach, but I am also talented at explaining concepts in a variety of ways until I find one that fits with my student's learning style. Students find my approachable, patient, and positive attitude something that makes me a great tutor who can relate well to those who struggle in school. My goal is to boost their confidence while inspiring a passion for learning, whatever the subject may be.

I love teaching children as well as adults. Having experienced that education can be fun and exciting I am dedicated to motivating students and to assist them to find their individual access to even the driest or most complex material. I believe that a sound education is the best and most valuable gift we can give to children and to adults. As an Attorney at Law licensed in Germany and the US I have been dedicated to excellent academic achievements as well as communicating within both continents and legal systems. I also explored the Healing Arts as well as advanced communication skill by becoming a licensed Holistic Health Professional and Master Practitioner within the field of Neurolinguistic Psychology. As a Court appointed Special Advocate for children and volunteer with "Voices for children" I feel very well equipped to teach adults and children of all backgrounds. I have taugh

I have extensive teaching experience at all levels from my years spent in Germany. I taught at the level of technical colleges (Technische Hochschule Bremen) high school and grade school (Schulzentrum Obervieland). I have exzperience in teaching both a specialized form of language instruction (English for electrical engineers) and general languages. I have found teaching beginners to be extremely rewarding because there is no basis to build on. Everything they can write or say was taught to them by me, and it is extremely gratifying if they feel challenged and motivated to continue to learn the subject I taught them in. As far as teaching languages goes, I believe in immediately beginning in the language and doing all instruction in that language. Translation should be minimized at the start, although it will have its place much later at an advanced stage. The challenge of making this ap

I believe that the key to learning is a good explanation. If you explain the material well to a student he has more chances of remembering it for long time. When I tutor I try make the environment as relaxing as possible, so that the student doesn't feel fear. I try to be attentive and pacient, because I realize that each person has different capabilities. I would really like to share my knowledge with others and hence contribute to society. During the last year in College I began tutoring German Language. I was also a VP of the German Club and was pursuing a minor in German. I have studied in Germany several month, and believed that I have learned enough grammatical rules in order to deliver them to others. I am also able to converse in German. Tutoring was very interesting for me, because I felt being useful to others. It's a feeling that motivates me to continue tutoring. Apart from G

Although my primary academic interests are languages and literatures, I have also enjoyed studying in many other academic fields. When an undergraduate, I intended to become an engineer; as a result I studied quite a lot of math and science (which later proved useful, enabling me to manage NASA grants for a university engineering school). Still, the liberal arts are my favorites; and I've found that as a educator (I've taught university, high school and middle school classes) I am most passionate and effective when teaching languages, literature, history, European art. Still, as a math or science teacher, I can be pretty convincing. I have always worked to make a difference in the life of each of my students. I love teaching and working with young people. Although most of my student evaluations state that I have high classroom standards and expectations, they also observe that I

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 writing
