Academic Learning to Standards and Beyond!

In an effort to conjure mutual respect, I approach each student more like a peer rather than a teacher, although they know who is an charge. With my elementary students, I have been known to kick a soccer ball around with them or read them a book... schedule permitting. "Play time" is my pro bono contribution after a good lesson.

A Little Bit About Me...

"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

I grew up and went to school in Munich, Germany. After completing my hotel apprenticeship, I move to the San Francisco Bay Area, where I worked in a hotel for over 20 years. I currently reside near Santa Rosa, CA. With my English and German being equally good, I would be happy to assist with conversational German in a relaxed home setting, while shopping, or just enjoying a cup of coffee.
I am teaching conversational German in a relaxed setting.

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 :)

More About This Tutor...

I approach instruction from the view that “teach[ing] a man to fish, will feed him for a lifetime”. I am committed to building on what my students bring with them, using this as a fulcrum on which to hinge their learning. This approach succeeds in helping students understand that they are capable of and even responsible for teaching themselves?–?a skill I see as a necessity in life, especially once a student can no longer expect formal instruction. In addition to my own experiences with learning several languages, I have benefited from coursework in Behavioral Psychology, which has taught me to create positive classroom atmosphere. My students note my enthusiasm for language and express appreciation for my linguistic explanations.
I have spent 6 years teaching university-level German language courses and reading comprehension & writing courses. Before this, I spent 2 years as a vol ... read more

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.
