German is one of my top subjects! Hi, my name is Evelin and I am a native German speaker and trained teacher for German as a foreign language. I provide excellent German lessons for all age groups, proficiency levels and focus points (e.g. business German, holiday German, conversational German, ...) in your preferred surroundings. I am a certified German and English teacher with a university degree and 10 years of teaching experience in online teaching, tutoring and classroom teaching. I have a very unique and simplified way of explaining grammar and making you feel confident speaking German after the very first lesson. I pick learning material appropriate to your learning style and interests, and provide several first-hand insights to German culture, food and people. We will look at grammar, read authentic texts, discuss stereotypes, learn idioms and listen to authentic German audios.

Hi, my name is Evelin and I am a native German and trained teacher for German as a foreign language. I was born and raised in East Germany, ion Dresden, where I studied at the local university to become a secondary school teacher for English, German and philosophy. During my studies, I also added the qualification to become a certified teacher for German as a foreign/ second language. Since the beginning of my studies, I worked in various tutoring and teaching institutions to improve my teaching skills. Throughout the years, I have created playful language contact courses for kindergarden children, worked with refugees and foreigners in Germany to improve their everyday communication skills or prepare them for a certain job, helped teenagers to improve their grades in language lessons, taught adults in evening classes English and German as foreign languages and worked in public schools ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I was trained well by the Literacy volunteers of America. I believe that my style is to help the student with repetition, while still making learning fun, via conversation and connecting the importance of what is being learned to every day life.
Practiced for years as an attorney for NYS. Semi-retired now. I have also been a tutor with the Literacy Volunteers of America (LVA) in Albany, NY. I met with a Korean graduate student at U. Albany and helped him learn English. I am also able to help in foreign language tutoring with German and French.

I believe in the "practice makes perfect" approach, especially when it comes to math, science, and language study. That said, I also believe that practice can be interesting, fun, encouraging and reinforcing. I would hope to help a student figure out how to learn and approach new challenges with confidence and enthusiasm. Sometimes what a child needs most is to simply understand that he or she is capable of achieving. Instilling self-affirmation is an extremely important part of teaching, and that would be my goal in working with your child.
I began teaching as a college sophomore at MIT. For 9 years, I taught primarily Multivariable Calculus, but also single-variable Calculus, Linear Algebra, and several writing courses. Since graduating, I have been involved in various volunteer tutoring efforts. My minors are in Math, German, and Writing. I happen to be a black female, the fi ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am very open and affable. I have a strong sense of humor and am in no case a hard disciplinarian. What's important is that I believe in sharing knowledge with as many people as is possible. I believe that knowledge belongs to everyone who seeks it. And I believe anyone is capable of acquiring it.
I have obtained my Master's Degree in Philosophy and Critical Thought from the French University "Paris VIII". My primary experience has been in politics and philosophy, and has contained, as non-academic experience, involvement in small political groups dealing with specific issues affecting society at large. Learning philosophy has meant a strong knowledge of the English as well as French languages, including a strong background in European history dealing primarily with the period slightly before the French Revolution in France up to the present day, including spots of history i ... read more
