However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a g

In 2009, I graduated from San Jose State University with a BA in German and a minor in linguistics. Long before receiving my bachelor's degree, I instructed classes for foreign learners and tutored individual students of English. Over the years, I have also had the opportunity to gather experience in the areas of translation, proof-reading, and interpretation. It is important for students to become familiar and feel comfortable with the material they are working with. I challenge students to step back and view things from different angles. In working together with them to find solutions and obtain good results from their efforts, their confidence grows and they better learn how to achieve their goals on their own.
