Award-Winning German Tutors serving Sussex County, NJ

...language and culture, and 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...

...in the U.S., I obtained a degree of B.S. in finance from Rutgers University and have worked within the financial industry as a financial analyst as well as as an accountant for over ten years. Nevertheless, I have always carried a profound interest in teaching and tutoring throughout my career while working on Wall Street and within the financial industry. In particular, I enjoy English literature, mathematics, the sciences as well as learning and teaching...

...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 believe there has to be a "reason" to learn a language. But that reason is a better understanding of the world and better communication skills, which we all need in life. I want to...

...assisted in children's classrooms and administered Goethe-Exams in addition to performing administrative tasks. In the fall of my senior year I worked with a German publishing company, and gained translation experience; the following spring, I was invited to participate in a graduate seminar in the German department with the award-winning Japanese-German author Yoko Tawada. Currently, I am enrolled in two last classes to complete my second major, Art History. Having completed extensive coursework in this...

...German class in my senior year of high school. During college, I started tutoring students in German and Spanish as well, especially in grammar. At this point in time I realized I could help students in both of these languages. In addition I have taken Spanish grammar courses at Montclair State University, thanks to which I have been able to help my fellow classmates. Some of my hobbies are soccer, basketball, and hanging out with...

...in Aix en Provence. This has remained a constant throughout my life as I have taught French, German and English to students from Pre-K to Adult in a variety of settings and in a variety of countries including Germany, South Africa and the USA. I am a firm believer in being a lifelong learner and that each student is able to reach his/her potential with the right guidance. In my spare time I am an...

...almost every conceivable background. Although I have taught large seminars and presented lectures to audiences in the US and abroad, I find that the most rewarding and enjoyable teaching experiences are those that are one-on-one. My expertise is in Philosophy, Literature, and European History, but my interests extend to languages (French, German, Hebrew, and Latin) and to the study of religion. Since I first caught what a former professor of mine called the "reading bug"...

I am a German tutor, and I have taught children and adults for more than ten years. I am a native German who can tell you about the country and the culture and customs in Germany. This can be very helpful for professionals who will be transferred there. When tutoring I like to sing and dance with children, read books and make learning fun.

...fan and enjoy the fine arts in general. Languages and different cultures have always been a passion of mine, and I love to make connections from around the world in my learning and teaching. I enjoy tutoring French at all levels. Reading and writing are favorite pastimes of mine, and I was a student who actually thoroughly enjoyed taking the SAT, ACT, and PSAT reading/writing sections! I have a passion for helping others find enjoyment...

I am a Spanish Adolescent Education Student at Marist College with minors in Global Studies and Psychology. I also am studying at Middlebury College this summer at the Language Schools for an Italian Immersion Experience. I believe all students have the ability of succeeding! I am very passionate about languages and speak English, Spanish, Italian, and French.

...learning process, in addition to a passion for the material I present. It is my job to create an atmosphere that fosters learning. There are many different learning styles, and it is important as a teacher to recognize the learning style of each student. I encourage learning by creating a relaxed environment for students. My students also will realize that I am a life-long learner myself. I am always researching new teaching methods, in order...

...physiology; biology, and revisiting concepts on anything pertinent to medicine, mathematics (calculus, statistics, epidemiology), and writing prose. I am the philosophical type of student-motivator, which to me means that I place the highest value in transforming difficult concepts into simpler, understandable processes. It is my desire to evoke a detailed, precise, imaginative explanation, opening up our minds in the session to true learning... not just the easy facts you'd attain for free a Google search...

...to my background in history and public policy, is US constitutional law. I published a book on monetary history (*Gold, France, and the Great Depression*) , and a more recent book of essays on topics in economics and diplomatic history (http://books.ksplibrary.org/978-625-7501-75-0/ ) .... I have worked extensively on government-related projects, often in the greater Middle East. Effective tutoring should do more than impart techniques -- it should certainly do that -- it should help a...

...wide range of subjects (English, French, German, Spanish), but what links them all is language as a tool for connection and personal growth. Learning someone else's language shows that you respect their culture and want to understand it. At the same time, learning a new language can lead to insights about your own language and culture. When tutoring, I strive to help students meet their immediate (practical) goals while encouraging them to discover more about...

...strong grammar foundation on which to build further skills and concepts. I have also lived in Germany for a year, and am able to bring world-life experiences into tutoring sessions, so that I can instill in my students a desire to learn more of the German language through a glimpse of what is possible once one has a basis in the language. I also have taken German Diction classes because of my background in vocal...

...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 is patience. I never rush a student and treat them with the utmost respect.

...at a local high school in all levels of the German classes as sometimes a pull out and after school tutor. I am a very passionate person, and one of my major passions is school and I want to spread that passion around and get people as excited for school as they were when they were younger. The most rewarding thing to me is when someone is able to say "Oh! I get it," and...

...math, German, SHSAT, and SAT. I believe that I have good communication and pedagogical skills, and a firm understanding of the subject matter. Having come from Germany at the age of eleven, I know the frustration that can come with feeling overwhelmed by coursework. I performed well on standardized exams like the SHSAT and the SAT and can teach test-taking skills that will ultimately lead students to institutions like Stuyvesant H.S. and Columbia.... Patience is key....

...a subject before trying to focus on specifics, especially in math and science. I try to have a very flexible teaching style, as I know not everybody learns in the same way, and I will always come prepared to teach a subject in multiple ways depending on the student's way of learning. I am outgoing, encouraging and patient, and I will always push my students to achieve to the best of their abilities.... My teaching philosophy...

...both the high school and college levels. Over the years, I've worked with learners of all ages from elementary students to college undergrads and have helped them tackle everything from basic concepts to complex problem-solving. My tutoring journey began with standardized test prep, and that experience has shaped my approach: clear strategies, patient guidance, and a focus on long-term understanding. I believe the first session is more than just a lesson it's an opportunity to...
