German Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Warwick, RI

Learning, in my experience, is best done in an environment with a minimum of anxiety and performance stress. I develop an individualized learning strategy that builds up student confidence and interest to increase stress tolerance required for testing situations. As interest and confidence increase, the student develops skills, willingness to work harder, and confidence and pride. Every student can learn and succeed. Each person has a unique access to new information based on their personal, social, and intellectual background. I learn more about this from every new student. Taught History and Latin at the high school level from 1984 through 1989. During 1988 and 1989 taught high school Honors classes while attending law school at night. Tutored high school students in Latin and Math while attending Gymnasium in Germany from 1976-1978. Concluded an intensive Polish immersion lang

I teach to a mastery learning approach appropriate for language instruction. I present the material first in accordance with the text presentation, and then drill and quiz to ascertain the level of comprehension over the next several days. I ask all students to answer sample questions, and I am looking to see who does not understand what, and why. When deficiencies are discovered, I represent material in as many different ways as are ultimately needed to ensure comprehension and success. I have been a high school teacher of Latin and ancient Greek, for three school years, and I spent an additional school year as a high school librarian and study skills course teacher. I also have a year of college Latin instruction experience, and a year as a TA for an ancient history professor. Over the years, I have had at least three permanent clients as a tutor, working with ancient Greek, Latin

For the last 15 years or so, I've worked as a professional writer in the travel industry. I've also published a few newspaper articles. Currently, I am studying for my Master's in Journalism at Harvard University Extension School. My professors there will vouch for my excellent grammar skills. As a writing tutor with 826 Boston, I have helped many students write college application essays that do them proud ... and make them stick out (in a good way!) in a crowd. I can also help you write your essay on Pride and Prejudice, Les Miserable, A Separate Peace, Hiroshima, The Hobbit, The Meaning of Life as You See it ... any subject you need to tackle. I believe anyone (this means you!) can learn to write well and enjoy it. I can help you conquer writer's block, say what's in your heart and mind, make yourself understood ... and get good grades. It can be hard work, but I'll make it fun. P

I enjoy seeing the "A ha" moment that students get when a concept becomes clear to them. I am not a big fan of memorization and have encouraged students to not only understand the concepts, but to also link the concepts together into a big picture understanding. Also, I believe that with hard work everyone can achieve their goals and that everyone has their own pace and capacity for learning. The trick is to motivate them into thinking that they could always do more, which they usually can. I am currently a graduate student in Medical Sciences at Boston University. I have taken many biology and chemistry courses during my studies, and I feel comfortable tutoring: molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, general/organic chemistry, and general biology. In addition, I have also taken the entire lower division math sequence for engineers, so I am able to teach elementary math up throug

I truly enjoy breaking down complicated concepts to students. I use a lot of real world examples that they can relate to, rather than abstract problems. I use a lot of repetition, as I think that the more you repeat a concept, the more one will familiarize oneself with it. Also, I redirect questions back to the student that asked the question (or other students). This helps them think through the question and methodically arrive at an answer, without my intervention. In addition, I always check for understanding, by asking follow up questions after we have solved a problem. I love asking students "Why?" , to make sure they get the big picture of what they are learning. My experience in tutoring has been with undergraduate students in their freshman, sophomore, or junior year. I lead study groups of 1 up to 20 students and explain to them concepts of statistics and probability. Throughout

I appreciate higher education and I truly understand what it takes to teach as I myself teach my own children with their homework from their own schools after they come home. I earned the Barbara Allen Woods A

If a child, an adult or a teenager doesn't like you, it will be difficult (impossible?) to have him (her) learn from you. Unless you are very strong and I am "nice": I don't like to be rude. So I would need to be appreciated in order to teach. That is why I focus when available on student that chose literature or that want to learn, not the one the parents force to learn. Then I am trying to make what sounds reluctant easy, attractive... I worked also with Après la classe (“after classroom”) – 16, rue Commines BP 3003 75121 Paris Cedex 3 – as a tutor from November 1999 to January 2000 and had three pupils: a little girl of 6 years old; we did a lot of reading, a teenager of 13 years old (her sister); we repeated her History and a student of 20 years old that was studying to be a midwife and had bad marks in French literature: I tried to make her love to read but I think that today, I wou
