I have been fluent in conversational German for 27 years, having first learned as a child, continuing my learning formally through all measures of schooling having studied the language for 9 years in all. While I was in still in high school I began helping other students with their German assignments, translations, dialects pronounciations, and grammar. I tutored throughout college as well. Since that time I've been involved in educating the Pennsylvania Dutch (really Pennsylvania German) as to words in Standard German that they have lost over time in order to facilitate a cultural farming exchange of information and ideas.

German is one of my top subjects! - Native German Speaker

I was born in Germany and I lived there for 15 years. I have a Bachelors Degree in German Language. My German is dialect free. Therefore, it is easier to understand and easier to get familiar with the daily German language. The necessary vocabulary to come around will be added on in every lesson. It will also improve to recognize the German Grammar.

More About This Tutor...

Being positive facilitates healthy relationships and ensures that students are comfortable in the classroom. A solid and healthy rapport with the student breeds a sense of belonging and allows the students to open up to the teacher. A positive atmosphere also makes students want to succeed and meet expectations set forth for the class.
After growing up with both parents in the teaching profession I received my undergraduate degree in business from the University of Delaware. After working in the field of business, I realized the business world was not for me. I felt my calling was in education, just like my parents. That is when I decided to attend Drexel University to pursue my masters in education.

As native French with excellent writing skills and strong bases in French culture and literature. My experience as an assistant in arts and crafts in French elementary school and a recent internship in foreign languages classes in French middle school helped me to build self-confidence in teaching French. My recent experience in one-to-one tutoring with adults made me confident in teaching French to adults as well as children.
I encourage learning by using a number of different fun and immersive activities based on the use of real French documents. My goal is to make each lesson a mini adventure in the world of French culture.
