German Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Seattle, WA

It was a round-about path that I followed to the study of German. I've always had an especial passion for Germanic philology, but it was the long-dead or extinct sister tongues of the modern language that I pursued first, spending my time primarily with Gothic and Old English. Over time my curiosity about New High German grew, however, and eventually I decided to try my hand at something more modern. I was fortunate enough to find a delightful little grammar while exploring the nooks and crannies of a bookstore in my hometown, and after working through the volume I opted to supplement it with a German course at college; on the whole the grammar was a far more comprehensive guide, but the class helped to round out my lexicon with a firmer grasp of the language in its more colloquial moods. On the whole I've found German to be a true delight, and over the years I've striven to keep

I often work with students who struggle learning in the conventional classroom. I love to see my students achieve and be excited about what they accomplish. My tutoring style is to listen to the student to discover the root of the problem that is blocking learning. Understanding the student, their frustrations, and their learning style is crucial to assisting them. Discovering what methods work best with each student can become key. Making the subject real and applicable to their world also brings great results. I never under estimate the effect of enthusiasm and a since of self-confidence to boost learning, and strive to bring both to the experience. I have 25 years of experience as a classroom teacher. I have also taught students in small group and 1 to 1 settings. I have a passion for education. My current teaching certificates are in Elementary Education, Physical Education, Remedial

I believe that instilling the confidence to learn is the key to effective instruction. Students need confidence not only in their instructor’s mastery of the subject matter, but also in their own ability to gain their own such master. This is not to suggest that rigor should not be applied, but rather that a student must have an emotional engagement with the learning process and a sense of their own progress, however minimal it might seem at a particular time. Frustration is the primary obstacle to successful learning and overcoming it is the instructor’s chief task. From 2005 to 2008 I worked as a teacher and tutor for a Seattle-based test preparation firm. I taught classes for the SAT and GRE and tutored the SAT, GRE, and ACT. I believe I met and exceeded the high standards set by this organization. In 2008 I worked as a regional field director for the Obama campaign in several states,

I live and breathe learning in my full time position and I am passionate about languages. From my own experience of learning languages the best way to learn a language is in a fun and relaxed way with a native speaker. Trial and error are an important piece of this. I will encourage your child to speak German at all times. Speaking the language with errors will teach you more than listening to the language without errors. With constant, gentle correction, errors will slowly disappear. I believe that the more languages we speak, the more friends we make throughout our lives and I am excited to help your child get there. I was born and raised in Germany and lived there until I was 24 years old (now 27). I took advanced German literature classes and English classes all through junior high and high school. In addition to that I was placed in a program in which history and philosophy were ta

Since completing my formal degree training I have worked in several capacities in the field of education. I taught inner-city young adults in Washington, D.C. in all GED subjects. I worked as a Guidance Counselor and Education Services Officer for the Army for eight years. In the past two years I have tutored under the auspices of Tacoma Community College in all GED subjects. Prior to my work with TCC I tutored in the Kid Reach program for three years. I try to match my own teaching style with the learning style of the student with whom I am working, paying particular attention to language and vocabulary usage. I also strive to emulate my favorite math teacher's ability to think out loud in teaching any kind of problem solving task.

I attended Foss H.S. in Tacoma and was awarded the International Baccalaureate diploma with the highest cumulative score in my class. I then attended the University of Chicago, where I earned a B.S. degree in Geology in 2006. I have a solid background in math, chemistry and physics as well as the liberal arts, and I have experience writing both for the sciences and the humanities. In high school I tutored ESL middle and elementary school students in reading, writing and math. In college I tutored underprivileged students in math and reading at a South Side grade school and spent several months as a teacher’s assistant in a Kindergarten class. Most recently, I tutored ESL students in algebra, geometry, general science and English. As a tutor, I work through problems/passages with a student to determine weak points to address and to find ways for the student to connect with the subjec

I really enjoy teaching, I have kids that love completely different kinds of music and is fun to discover what they really like, what I do is really simple I just motivate my students teaching them what they really want to learn, I have to learn songs that they really like and show them how to play them in an easy way using music theory and harmony so they understand a lot more. It works great because they do learn fast and I'm having more students every month by recommendations. I finished my high school in Peru and after that I went to Barcelona(spain) to study music. I started playing guitar 10 years ago but playing like 12 hours per day, I took it really serious, I started teaching 5 years ago, and right now is what I do, I work with bands playing in bars, casinos, or recording sessions, and I give private lessons, I work at Rhythm fire school of music in olympia also.
