...Germany at the University of Bremen and tutored two high school students in German back in the United States. After college I continued my studies and received an M.A. in International Affairs from the George Washington University. As a graduate student I volunteered for the Washington, D.C.

...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 outgoing and easy-going person that people can get easily along with.... Learning by doing...

My approach to teaching is creative, hands-on, varied, and collaborative: I address all different learning styles and incorporate contemporary examples and activities as well as the student's personal interests and hobbies into the lessons.

Since then, I have tutored other subjects as well including biology, physiology, and chemistry to name a few. Having won several science awards, I know lots of fun facts to share with my tutees. During my tutoring sessions, I make subjects applicable by giving real life examples. I am...

Hi, I'm Noah! I love teaching German to budding language-learners who are driven and want to meet their goals, be they academic or just for fun. Getting to know students is part of the fun, and the lasting relationships I build with fellow German-learners motivates me to give tutoring my all. Aside from studying and tutoring German, I enjoy playing the drum set and writing nerdy, amateur fiction!... I find getting your student out of their...

...self-confidence. My teaching approach is comprehensive, and includes all the components of language: phonetics (working on correct pronunciation), grammar, vocabulary, listening comprehension, reading, speaking fluently without a script. Preparing for foreign language tests such as the DaF (for admittance to German universities) or for Russian tests at the Pushkin Language Institute in Moscow involves work that I place in its own category. I am very proud of all my students who successfully passed their entrance...
