...while at U of I in college Physics, Chemistry, and German. I also volunteer at a local high school in all levels of the German classes as sometimes a pull out and after school tutor.

The most rewarding thing...

...elementary to an advanced level, and I consider it of cardinal importance to equally value the successful communication both of elementary topics, such as algebra 1 or German word order, and complex ones, such as deontological critiques of utilitarian ethics. By valuing all levels of difficulty, I am able to give students a firm foundation, with which they can grasp truly complex ideas in the topic at hand and in their future learning. While my...

...a wide variety of subjects. As a current college junior at the University of Pennsylvania, I am familiar with the competitiveness of seeking admission to top-tier universities and can use my personal experience in my tutoring.

Hi! I'm Rachel. I have a pretty relaxed teaching style and adapt well to all kinds of students. I really aim for students to understand concepts rather than make great test scores. However, great test scores are a good side effect of understanding concepts better.

...how their words worked I fell in love with the language! Now, I know that you are looking for the right person to teach you the German language... I have a ton of background in languages. I have taken Spanish, French, Russian, Swedish, Old English and Middle English before, along with German. I try to speak each of them or read some sort of material within them every month. However, I have chosen German to...

...got a very keen sense of what works and what doesn't. In tutoring, I focus on results, but not to exclusion. I want to provide the student with a meaningful experience. That is to say, I aim to cultivate an appreciation for math, science, and/or the humanities that will last into college and their career. Unwilling to compromise my love for language or my affinity for math and problem solving, I am currently pursuing a...

While I tutor many subjects, I am most passionate about Math, German, and standardized test prep. I believe we learn the best (and...

...2015. I look forward to working with students of all ages and all levels. I have a creative and flexible teaching style that focuses on the needs of my student and however they learn best. I don't believe that there is a "right" way to learn a language, as long as the student is interested and trying, then they are learning. Language is a tool we use every day, and shapes the way in which...

...help the student find a way to understand the material, even if it means deviating form normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have been through exactly what they're going through and I believe the number one trait...

...to the states. While learning another language I know firsthand how difficult it can be to speak up and actually use what you know. I want to foster confidence in students ability to speak and listen to German by giving them plenty of time to practice with me and in turn allow them to meet their educational goals. Not only can students learn the ins and outs of the German language but I can show...

...to study/work abroad, for language tests, for upcoming business trips, or just for your personal satisfaction, then it would be my pleasure to embark on that journey with you.

I have always had a love and interest for languages, and my goal is to encourage students to also embrace foreign languages, and hopefully ignite a spark for second-language learning all kinds of different people. Learning a second, third, or even fourth language can be an extremely fun and rewarding process, and I want to...

...had otherwise. As a tutor, my goal is to pass on my knowledge of the German language so that it will have the same positive impact on the lives of my students. I am especially interested in imparting a practical knowledge of German to students who will then be able to use it in the "real world." This includes teaching students who have already started their careers and who are learning German in order to...

...My approach to tutoring really depends on the student and his or her needs. However, as a general rule of thumb I try to stick to the doctrine of "learning by doing" as much as possible as I believe that it is the best way for any student to learn a foreign language. Outside of work and tutoring, I really enjoy running, playing golf, skiing and watching professional and college sports. I am a very...
