German is one of my top subjects! Native German

I am a native German who was born and raised in Germany (Berlin). I always loved traveling and ended up working in Australia for several years. Back in Germany I was constantly seeking english influences and finally taught an American student German and he on the other hand would meet me occasionally to speak English. I am holding a Master's Degree in City Planning and also attended a few Stanford Continuing Studies like Women in Leadership.
After learning the basics I like teaching everyday useful phrases.

My comments on tutoring German : Majored in German in Beijing University

have worked as a tutor and translator since 2004. Tutored high profile politicians and students. Employee happiness is crucial to business success. It's not just about free lunch, onsite facility, high hourly pay, steady income, those are the basics. Happy motivated employees desire challenging jobs and projects in which they could express their individualism, their independent thinking, their creativity; where they can connect meaningfully with their audience not as a intruder but as a unique contributor, a timely helper, a creative solution provider who can make a significant impact in the process of the project and feeling accomplished seeing it to a effective completion. I have a friend who works at Google and have visited him couple of times for lunch and I truly appreciate how Google is treating it's employees. They are being trusted and treated like true business partne ... read more

My comments on tutoring German : I am teaching German including business language.

Teaching should be fun! For this reason, my lessons are always dynamic and compelling. During the first two meetings, I usually try to understand students’ needs, skills and deficiencies. I am a very open person with several interests thus I tend to include discussions on different topics using multiple sources such as books, magazines, newspapers, blog posts and Internet pages.
I am a qualified Polish-German teacher and translator living in the San Francisco South Bay. I hold a Master's degree in German language from the Warsaw University in Poland as well as a professional Polish-German consecutive translator postgraduate degree. I have more than 9 years of experience in teaching and around 4 years in professional translations. I have been tutoring children and teenagers, in addition to employees of several companies - including Volkswagen Bank Poland, DZ Bank Poland, MAN STAR TR ... read more

"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary" I think that this quote about teaching, in a way, reflects my idea on what teaching is all about. One can be a good teacher, whose characteristics encompass good knowledge of the subject matter, understanding the needs of your students, and the ability to apply this knowledge to students' needs. However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a go ... read more

German is one of my top subjects! Hi, my mother language is German since I was born and raised back in Germany.I was teaching at the German School of Fremont Toddler Class to Elementary Class until September 2013; I do teach only to female and prefer to meet at the Fremont main library for teaching

My studies from Maria Ward School up to University of Mainz in Medical Field was in German. I do volunteer teaching the kids in my Housing community and love sharing my German knowledge and my cultural Background with them. Conversations with some of my German friends are always in German ,so we stay in touch with the language and it is always important to teach our kids as well and being bilingual is essential nowadays :)

A Little Bit About Me...

It is important for students to become familiar and feel comfortable with the material they are working with. I challenge students to step back and view things from different angles. In working together with them to find solutions and obtain good results from their efforts, their confidence grows and they better learn how to achieve their goals on their own.
In 2009, I graduated from San Jose State University with a BA in German and a minor in linguistics. Long before receiving my bachelor's degree, I instructed classes for foreign learners and tutored individual students of English. Over the years, I have also had the opportunity to gather experience in the areas of translation, proof-reading, and interpretation.

A Little Bit About Me...

Although I have a bachelor's degree in Political Science, my favorite subject in school/college was Math and Algebra. I have tutored both elementary and middle school students in Math, Algebra, English, and Science. I also have two kids who currently are enrolled in fourth and sixth grade, and whom I work with everyday. They are both honor roll students.
I believe that every student has a unique way to learn. I am easy going, and passionate teacher, who works well with the kids. With my education and experience, I am ready to take my students to a higher level and actually teach them to love the subject.
