German Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Houston, TX

I speak with native fluency and a near perfect accent. Communication is the paramount goal, so even though grammar is a bit of specialty of mine (Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, etc.) I prioritize coaching the ability to exchange information and ideas clearly over any major focus on the finer points of German grammar...of which there are many. I generally find that tutoring students do best when I give them a small an digestible dose of grammar at the start of a session and practice homework on this at the end of the session but keep 90% of time dedicated to practicing oral communication and listening skills. In addition to the last four years of teaching high school German, while doing research in Germany and Austria for my PhD dissertation, I worked as a tutor for the Berlitz language company and as a translator of business documents from German into English.

I have a holistic approach that goes beyond just helping a person with homework or test prep. I like to combine tutoring and coaching services. 1. Often students hire a tutor after they are falling behind in school. The first goal is to develop a plan of action and get the student back on track. This helps with relieving stress and feeling overwhelmed. 2. Develop learning skills and strategies for taking tests, memory recall and linking concepts. There is no ones size fits all and must be tailored to the individual. 3. Building confidence in student's learning abilities is critical! 4. The ultimate goal is empowering the student to become an independent learner. I have a special interest in ESL students, having myself experienced what it is like as a child to be immersed in a foreign culture and school without speaking the language. As an adult, I also understand how cr

I currently work as a professional science/health writer, and I have a keen grasp of literature comprehension, grammar, and composition. I have tutored students in English, math, and science. Additionally, I have volunteered as a soccer coach, Sunday school teacher, and "Hands-On Science" instructor in the classroom. I previously taught private swimming lessons and piano lessons for children. I believe the key to academic success is ensuring the student feels a sense of accomplishment and pride in self. My method of teaching focuses on determining the best learning style and beginning with lessons that will bring about success, and then challenging the student gradually. I try to make learning fun, while encouraging questions and an "out-of-the-box" approach to problem solving. The ultimate goal is to develop an independent and motivated learner.

I am a current graduate student in the field of Public Health and policies. I have graduated with a bachelor in public administration, both of these majors allowed me to have a clear understanding on the different techniques required to write a good essay. The diversity in each professor that I have had also allowed me to get familiar with diverse writing techniques and reading techniques. My classes also allowed me to be better acquainted with the world of public speaking and how to make it efficient. My associate degree in science gave me insights on math and science to a certain level. I have been a mentor before and I am currently doing volunteer work that allows me to use these skills to help middle school and High school kids. I believe it is important to determine what kind of learner each kid is (visual, auditory, and hands-on). This allows me to figure out a way to effectively t

Teaching is all about making sure that one imparts the correct piece of information and knowledge in a way as to indoctrinate it into the minds of students, so that they enjoy what they learn and consequently remember all that they have learned. I have taught subjects like Accounting, Operations Research and the German Language to students of upto the level of CPA. I am well-versed with how to tackle them and most importantly, to make sure they learn correctly and fully, what is being taught. With most of my educational achievements in the field of finance and a solid corporate and teaching experience of 3-4 years, I can take on to comfortably explain and teach all subjects pertaining to finance and commerce. Teaching is all about- 1) imparting the right knowledge set 2) making sure that the student has understood the dynamics of a subject and remembers it all ! I believ

Every child can learn but since everyone is different, a different approach is needed to ensure the information and abstract concepts are fully understood. Auditory learners like myself would learn best from an entertaining lecture followed by auditory questions designed for the learner to discover for him or herself what it is they were looking for with myself as a guide. Visual learners would learn best by a movie or re-enactment, and some reading. Kinesthetic learners would need a hands on experience to get a better understanding. In all cases students will realize that they themselves can figure out for themselves the 'hows' and 'whys' of history and show me by answering some questions and re-teaching it to me. I have always had a fascination with the past; as a child I read book after book on dinosaurs and as an adult I studied and received a BA in History with a minor in Politica
