Eric: SAT Subject Test in German course instructor
...from my perspective bettering one's writing is also a process in bettering one's thinking. I find it rewarding to help students overcome many of the same challenges and hurtles that I and my peers overcame. Tutoring is a way for me to repay a debt I feel I owe to my own teachers by helping others succeed where my teachers helped me succeed. Education is necessary for personal growth and human flourishing as a whole,...

...puzzle. Each student has her or his own unique set of strengths. I believe that figuring out what these are and molding the content around them is the key to good teaching. Helping students to see and to use their own strengths is the least mentioned part of the equation, but for me it is the most important, because that is how I get my kids to become autonomous and self-motivated learners. I've always seen...

...Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, yoga, running, and the odd game of ice hockey.

...German the students gain a new cultural perspective along with learning the new language. They discover the inherent cultural significance behind German speaking societies. This helps them to accept the other culture's differences without forsaking their own identity. Also grading within a week plays an important role in a teacher-student relationship. It shows that the students' tasks are important and that the teacher cares. Towards the end of the class, I take time to show...

Anna: SAT Subject Test in German course instructor
I recently moved from Potsdam, Germany to New Haven, CT. I grew up and studied environmental sciences in Germany, worked and traveled a lot internationally and have taught languages and science at the university and non-academic level. I enjoy teaching and I particularly enjoy supporting students who want to learn my beautiful but sometimes just a little too confusing language. ... Using a language is the best way to learn. With me you will be talking a lot!

I find tutoring to be a fulfilling and rewarding experience for both parties involved, and I take great pride in enriching students who are struggling with their academic pursuits.

My approach to teaching is creative, hands-on, varied, and collaborative: I...

Something about this stage in the process of learning a language is especially stimulating and fun. The learning curve is steep, and I get to find out a students' particular ways of acquiring a language. Outside of class, I like hiking...
