I am proficient in German, having taken the equivalent to 4 semesters of the language in College. I have taken creative writing and journalism courses. I have experience in the journalism field, and won an award for one of my stories. I have also done much writing on my own, including writing a full-length novel (in the works of being edited with hopes of publication). I am an avid reader and my reading comprehension/writing scores on tests have always been well above average. I work hands-on, using examples. However, I am readily able to adjust to new learning styles!

I enjoy teaching students of all ages, individually or in groups. I find the Socratic method most useful, and with children this translates into making the subject (i.e. German grammar) seem like a puzzle that, with some effort, can be solved. I think students are best served when they can discover these answers for themselves. I have a BA in English and a Master's and Ph.D. in German (Germanic Linguistics). I have taught English literature as a substitute in junior and senior high schools, college level German, linguistics, English reading and writing and English as a Second language. I have taught and tutored children and adult learners. My teaching experience has been in Germany, California and Minnesota. I also tutored ACT/SAT in Minnesota.

Ever since elementary school, I have known that I wanted to spend my life in the Physics field. Academically, it enabled me to excel in my Physics science courses I enjoyed the work so greatly that I would strive for perfection, and often do more than was required. I have been involved in a number of research projects that allowed me to use the theory that I learned in class in a more practical manner. In addition to the results of the research, I increased my research skills and learned how research projects work, which is aiding me as I pursue my Ph.D. Through my Physics related employment, I learned many aspects of the Physics field that only come from being in the workforce. The work habits and experience I gained there will help me in whatever I pursue in life.

As cliché as this sounds - my favorite part of teaching is the satisfaction of knowing I made a difference. I have interacted with individuals across countless backgrounds and understand the idea of each student needing to hear things in their own terms. The simple concept penetrates through my patient teaching style. Some of my favorite ways to connect with students is to create simple analogies using subjects which interest them. My overall personable nature makes it easy for students to talk to me and I can always be counted on for advice (whether it be academic or otherwise). My teaching experience began during high school when I would help out at my church's Sunday School providing remedial services like handing out papers. Since then I have earned a bachelor's degree in finance and economics with ambitions to earn a PhD. During my undergraduate experience I tutored beginning

My style is one of collaboration - I learn as my clients might. I am patient and love to use examples and analogies. I am never satisfied until "all the lights are on", so to speak, and will find whatever means it takes to elicit student understanding. I have over 40 years of work experience in full-time and contract accounting positions in the Twin Cities. The industries range from large and complex public school districts to small insurance environments to manufacturing and service firms. I taught beginning accounting for a couple of years at a local private college. I also am a published musical composer and have a moderate knowledge of German.

I have had very hands on approach to teaching and tutoring; specifically focusing on college level students, I have employed several different approaches to understanding physical science, biological science, and verbal reasoning. With my students, I often incorporate not only how to understand the material, but how to conceptualize given information and how to deduce that information in various test formats. I have a consistent goal that I will not leave any student behind, regardless of the amount of time and dedication that is required. Since graduation from the University of Minnesota in 2006, I have continued to expand my knowledge in various fields of science, medicine, and education. I have conducted research in the fields of neuroscience, genetics, and neurosurgery throughout my career while enlisting in several community activities that have ranged from collegiate mentor, to awa

Having studied German for nine years, my interest in and understanding of language has definitely grown. Learning different languages has always been a fun and rewarding pastime for me, and it is even more fun and rewarding to help others gain proficiency in a language. This teaching and learning, as well as a number of courses on language acquisition, has really helped me to understand the most difficult problems when learning a language, and the most effective ways to overcome these problems. I believe that, when learning a language, the most important thing for a student is that they feel comfortable enough to have confidence to speak. This confidence can only be reached in a relaxed environment where the student does not feel judged or threatened. Therefore I make it a priority to communicate with the student and be flexible enough to work best with them. Another vital factor in

I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I am enrolled in a doctoral program currently to earn my Ed.D in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. I have a great amount of experience in research and writing and have been teaching at-risk youth for 2 years. Primarily, I teach all Social Studies classes. However, I am very comfortable tutoring and teaching English, Composition, and Science classes such as Biology, High School Genetics, and Anatomy. Every child and adult learns differently. It is imperative that adaptation to an individual's learning style is addressed. I truly believe that everyone can be successful academically. I want my students to learn within their own comfort zones. I strive to create as many avenues to learn as I can so that each student can be successful.

As the grandson of a French immigrant to the US, I have always shared a close connection to France, it's culture, and beautiful language. After falling in love with French film I added French as a second major, graduating with a BA in 2007. During school I had the opportunity to substitute teach middle school and high school students. After graduation I taught underprivileged high school students in a summer program and moved to France the following fall. While in France I taught conversational English to post-secondary students for a year. As you can see from my experience, I am comfortable with working with students of all ages. My goals in teaching are to stimulate interest, provide real life applicable skills, and facilitate cross-cultural understanding and communication. I believe that students can best achieve these goals through interactive and communicative means. In order

My mother language is French. I studied German for 8 years and went to Germany to improve my skills. I studied English for 5 years, went to England and passed the Cambridge Proficiency Diploma. I have lived in France, Switzerland, Germany and England before moving to the States and been travelling extensively. I have taught French to adults evening classes in the German part of Switzerland. Last year I was a long-term full time French sub-teacher at the International School of Minnesota for a wide range of students, PS till HS. I am still a sub-teacher at that school. I am tutoring French and German. Being a French native speaker I love teaching "my" language at any level, from PS to HS and adults. At home I speak French to my children. I am very confortable with German too as I speak German with my husband. Everyone has different learning abilities but I believe that given the right "t
