German (Deutsch fuer alle)

I am a graduate of the University of Warsaw located in Poland, where I earned a master’s degree in German with a specialization in teaching as German second/foreign language. I spent many years in Germany improving my German and later teaching it. I have been teaching for four years in many settings such as schools, tutoring and church based curriculum. My teaching experience has afforded me the opportunity to assume various responsibilities at multiple levels, such as preparing students for examinations, directing an after-school language programs (immersion), counseling students, teachers and families, classroom management and lesson planning.
I believe that understanding the learning style of a child or an adult can provide a map to success and a key way to avoid frustration. Each person seems to have his or her particular blend of techniques for mastering educational subject ... read more

My comments on tutoring German : After learning German all through grade and highschool I then spent a semester in Freiburg, Germany where I breathed, ate and slept all things German. Since then I have been back several times and continue my passion for the language and culture.

I have always had a strong passion for languages and perhaps because of this have done extensive traveling. I have lived in several countries and speak several languages. In my adventures I have found time and again that the easiest, most effortless and fastest way to learn a language is to immerse oneself in that culture. Why? Because it is not enough to remember that "arrivederci" translates to "goodbye." Rather, to really know the inside of a language one must also know and understand its people and the culture it comes from.
I truly believe conversation is the best way to learn a new language. There are many people who study grammer and vocabulary on paper for years, but when they are finally put in a real situation in which they are required to speak the language, all of their training fails them because they never did the most basic and important thing, which is to practice m ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Beginning my foreign language education at the age of seven instilled in me a determination to master the French language and then use it to help others. I have earned a bachelor degree in French and graduated summa cum laude in three years. The year after graduation, the graduate school selected me to participate in an exchange program in Paris, France, where I taught university-level English conversation and took classes on medieval and 19th-Century French literature. An extensive exposure to literary analysis taught me excellent grammatical, proofreading, and critical thinking skills. I have experience tutoring students in French and substitute teaching in general education.
Every child should have the best educational experience possible, and I want to provide that for your child. I strive to teach each student why, not just what. A complete understanding of how something ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I taught Constitutional Law and American Politics at Marquette University, and tax law at the University of Wisconsin Law School and at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. I have also taught at IRS and KPMG programs, as well as at numerous seminars for state and local bar associations, voluntary legal associations, and the UW-Extension. I have taken courses on elementary education at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. My hope to become an elementary school teacher was thwarted when I becamse seriously ill. I have four years of high school German and five courses in college.
As an instructor, I believe it is my responsibility to help students develop as complete, well-rounded persons. This means insuring not only that the students learn the knowledge contained in the course syllabus, but also how to think critically, to communicate effectively both orally and in writ ... read more
