Award-Winning Conversational German Tutors serving Hoboken, NJ

...It's one of the greatest joys in my life. My favorite roles have always been academic advising that combines specific intellectual topics with the broader questions of college admissions, and collegiate development across a range of skill-sets. This was my most recent position at Harvard University, where I served both as a mentor to my advisees on individual papers and tests, and also on how to take their development into their own hands and rise...

...I had a genuine interest in science, with a specific captivation for Chemistry. I'm happy that I could incorporate that fascination into my career. In addition to my desire to learn more about science and to apply that knowledge, I hold a passion for teaching. I enjoy the interaction with students and try to convey my passion for science. My desire to teach is reflected in the voluntary TA position I did during my PhD...

...goes along with learning. My favorite thing about teaching is watching the "aha!" moment as children finally understand a concept that may have been challenging for them. I hold a Masters in Education (EdM) from Columbia University as well as a Masters in Music (MM) in vocal performance from the Manhattan School of Music. I like to think that I bring some of the performing spirit into the learning process to make it fun!

...as well as to have the self confidence to tackle novel problems and find their own solutions. Over the course of my teaching career I have dealt with a broad range of challenges that students face when they struggle with understanding concepts, especially in the sciences. I was able to develop many different approaches to help students overcome these obstacles and start to enjoy learning. I would be very happy to share my knowledge and...

...strong desire to teach and educate persons of all ages and backgrounds. Since then, I have helped students of all ages in many subjects: German, Italian & primarily Math. I have been a tennis coach for 7 years at the Western Tennis Club in Glasgow, mostly working with younger kids. I have always had a thing for numbers and equations but my multi-cultured background has enabled me to master several languages as well.

...in the language so that they forget they are learning. My lessons can be as informal or formal depending on the client's preference. Testimonial Birgit is not only a native speaker but has the best proper standard high German pronunciation and intonation. Furthermore, her most creative and interactive teaching methods make this difficult language fun to learn. Being a thorough professional and an extremely patient tutor, she has a knack for tailoring the learning material...

...would like to show my students that it can be fun, rewarding and interesting to immerse themselves in another culture through learning a foreign language. Language influences thinking, the way we interact with others and to some degree how we see the world. When learning another language, it often provides glimpses into other perspectives. Learning a second (or third, or...) language is not only a way to learn about a different culture and alternative ways...

...University. I have had extensive tutoring experience with students of all ages. In between my studies, I spent a year working as an au pair in both Guatemala and Germany, where I lived with host families and tutored several young children under the age of ten. I have also mentored undergraduate college students and help international students from China with improving their English. As a linguist, I understand the challenges of mastering one's first and...

...I double majored in German and Philosophy. I graduated with departmental honors for both of my majors, as well as college honors. I also studied at Humboldt Universitt Berlin.

I consider myself a very warm and inviting person, and have a very interactive tutoring style. Can't...

My extensive skills, education and experience afford me the pleasure of passing on my knowledge to others.

I am passionate about helping others and have held numerous tutoring positions teaching students from elementary school to college level. I am particularly interested in the sciences and German, and excited to...

...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 Master's degree in Computational Linguistics, the interface between...

...one-on-one with students, encouraging them to come with questions or just a thirst for conversation: in the lobby of the school library (my "office"), I sat for hours with my students, discussing everything from the subjunctive to our favorite kinds of wurst. My approach to tutoring is much the same: my sessions are personally tailored to each individual tutee's needs and interests. I am a firm believer that learning is not static it must be...

...about literature and music. I studied German language & literature for teaching at the University of Osnabrueck/Germany. I finished with my 1st State examination and specialized afterwards in the arts: I have been trained as an actress and vocalist at the"Schule fuer Schauspiel" (School for acting) in Hamburg/Germany and worked as a freelance actress and vocalist (Belcanto & Jazz) in Europe and America. I'm offering both of my specialties, German language and Vocal Training, for...

...in education. While at college, I tutored elementary through high school students in English language arts, social studies and math. I also led after school art and cooking activities.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, running and walking outside and reading. I look forward to working with you!

...Prior to my time at Notre Dame, I was nominated by various administrators at my high school to serve as a tutor for underclassmen.

I also have a love for foreign language as I have studied German for 9 years and Spanish for...

As well, I teach creative writing, ELA, and college application essay prep. My approach is holistic and I teach my students under the Communicative Language Approach, where students learn through elicitation, strengthening their critical thinking skills and autonomy. Many of my students have had great academic success...

...opportunities that learning a language gives has opened my eyes to a lot of things in life. Therefore, I want to devote my life to teaching a language. However, I have to start with tutoring. I really enjoy helping to motivate students in learning a language because of the understanding there is between cultures. If I hadn't met my best friend from Germany, I don't think I would be where I am now. Some people...

...the native languages where I am. I have been studying language since age 11, and I have never stopped trying to master new languages. Besides tutoring, I am a classical musician, a singer, and a composer; I perform all around the world. I have experience working with all age groups and I first started tutoring at age 15.
