German Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Vista, CA

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.

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 that they have just memorized enough to be able to repeat back what they have been told. 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, et

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 have taught law, German and neurolinguistic psychology. 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 valuabl

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 approach comprehensible and fruitful to the student falls on the teacher; it's what makes the teaching languages interesting. I have followed this method for a number of years, and my successes confirm me in this belief. 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

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 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

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. 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.

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 end in s
