I'm from Austria and I'm a Native German Speaker. I always base my teaching style on my clients needs. Hi everyone, I was born and grew up in Austria, and my native language is German. In order to improve my English, I spent ten months as an au pair in Minnesota, and in August 2010, I moved to Minneapolis. Learning a second language can be hard and I think the best way to learn a new language is to listen, speak, and read it as much as possible. My experience includes my knowledge of German simply through daily usage. I didn't study the German language, but I tutor for over 3 years and I thought and learned a lot about the German Grammar.I will be able to help with expanding your conversation skills and increasing your German vocabulary.

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 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.

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 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

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

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.

I like teaching by doing. I believe it helps the student when they can see what they are learning put into use. I am very patient and do no mind repeating things or explaining them in another way that the student understands. In my Spanish classes, I would often lead study groups of several students. I have received a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a Bachelor of Arts in English. I have worked for several years as an electrical engineer.
