German is one of my top subjects! 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

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 en ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a very patient teacher and meet students on their level, speak and relate to them with respect and love---and teach them according to their needs and skill levels. If a student is difficult to work with, I will not hesitate to steer off the subject path for a few minutes to discuss something that interests them--this gains their respect and creates a bond with the student--then I steer us back to the subject at hand. I am a very flexible home-teacher and I meet students exactly where they are at in terms of learning styles, intelligence, patience. etc.
I have 10 years experience with Morongo unified School district as a substitute teacher, a student teacher, and now a home teacher. I have spent 7 years as a home teacher--all grade levels--all major subjects. I work with students that are expelled or suspended or have a mediacl condition that prevents them from attending publi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught and tutored undergraduate science students extensively as part of my Masters degree, in diverse biological and genetic fields. I have taught and tutored elementary school reading, science and math as part of a comprehensive home school curriculum.
My teaching style is geared towards the individual strengths and weaknesses of each student and their ability to absorb and learn new information in the specific format optimized for learning. Incorporating the love of learning new ideas and concepts in a child's life will expose the child to a wide array of opportunities ins his/her future academic development.

More About This Tutor...

I have a talent for teaching and love to help students learn material in a way other than how it is traditionally taught. I believe everyone has a different learning style and it is important to teach in ways that a variety of students understand. My teaching style is hands on and provides visual and verbal information. I like to provide numerous examples and practice problems. I strongly believe that a student must take the initiative to practice outside of the classroom or tutoring session to really grasp the information and promote parent involvement. I strive to be an educator who makes a difference in the achievement level of the students that I assist.
As a college graduate, I have been educated on a wide variety of topics which I achieved high academic excellence. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in communication disorders and psychology. These subjects have allowed ... read more

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, writi ... read more
