Peter: Western Springs tutor
Certified Tutor
I tutor German (German native speaker) and English. I graduated with a PHD from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Additionally, I completed the Oxford Seminars TESOL/TESL/TEFL Certification, and I received a Writing Across the Curriculum Certification from the English Department of John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
Teaching German, I've been an Adjunct at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and Queensborough Community College. Teaching ESL, I've been an Adjunct at Fordham University and NYIT. I've been an ESL tutor at La Guardia Community College and Borough of Manhattan Community College.
I've tutored university students, children and adults. From my point of view, a teacher is the person you can ask anything. I'm patient and I like working with students.
My hobbies are Photography, Literature and Movies.

What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe that a student has to know that a teacher is absolutely trustworthy; a student should be able to ask anything he or she wants to ask without any reservations.
How do you evaluate a student's needs?
I evaluate a student's needs by observing the student's output and what they have trouble with.
