My comments on tutoring German : I lived in Germany for seven years before emigrating to Michigan in 2011.

As I speak 4 languages I have experienced many styles of teaching (and learning), that is why it is easy for me to teach what I know using the techniques I have seen in Germany and France.
I have experience teaching English and German (I am a Spanish native speaker though). My best talent is the writing and that is of a great help when it comes to teaching a language. I taught English in Colombia and Spanish in Germany which gave me the experience necessary to transmit what I know in the best way possible. I learnt German in Germany to an extend that I helped my friends to improve theirs. I know the difficulties of the German language and based on my own learning experience I can teach that language knowing how to tackle those difficulties.

German is one of my top subjects! While I am not a native speaker of German, I do speak it fluently, and anytime I have spoken with a German they have remarked that my pronunciation is nearly on par with that of a native speaker. I learned German at the University of Michigan, where I took 3 years of German classes, but have supplemented these classes with countless hours of self-study of German literature and film. Furthermore, I have intensely studied linguistics, focusing on the history of the Indo-European languages. Although, my primary discipline at the University was music composition, a creative pursuit about which I remain passionate, I have nurtured a parallel interest in linguistics for years, and will pursue a masters and doctorate in this field. I believe that my understanding of the grammar of German, as well as the structure of language in general, allows me to peer into the language with much greater insight than those who learned it through instinct. Essentially, I am able to bring the best of both worlds to the table; speaking the language with the ease of a native, and grasping its structure with the perspective of a linguistically trained foreign learner.

I think it is very important to meet the student at their level of interest and need. If the primary goal is simply getting enough experience to do well on a test or excel in a class, I focus on nemonic aids or other techniques (depending on the students learning style) to ensure success with this shorter term goal. If the student has a thirst for knowledge and wishes to explore the language in more depth, I am also very willing to take them on a journey through all of its intricacies. The point is to not force my own interests and expectations on the student, but to meet them where they stand. I also believe strongly in presenting new information in plain language, often employing the use of easily relatable metaphors to explain abstract concepts. Despite my love of grammar, I also find hands on experience with the target language to be indispensable. For example, when drilling ne ... read more

I have had a variety of teaching experiences since graduating from a small teacher’s college with strict requirements. I have taught geography, physical education, piano, keyboarding, and coached high school sports. Hard work and dedication led to success in my coaching career with a runner-up state title in girls’ basketball. I mention this because it shows I have a good rapport with students as I am able to motivate and set goals successfully. I also have taught all subjects in a one-room suburban school, grades 1-8. It experienced such success growing from 19 to 27 students, that we added a second teacher after the first semester. This all demonstrates the wide range of flexibility and experiences I bring to the table.
I draw on a variety of teaching experiences that contribute to my success with students. My most recent position was teaching all subjects to grades K-4 in ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a native German speaker, living in the US for over ten years, I fluently speak, read and write English and German. I worked in the travel department for the US Department of Defense in Stuttgart, Germany. I am currently working as a translator/interpreter. I enjoy translating and switching from one language to another. Because of many cultural aspects of learning a language, I have the knowledge to explain the differences of both languages and countries to enhance the learning experience and I am certain to be able to assist any student who would like to improve their skills in learning German.
