Award-Winning German Tutors in Catalina Foothills, AZ

...with so many interests (I only ever taught one History major) and of such different backgrounds, I find the challenge of making History interesting and relevant to students a rewarding one. This includes not only making the material of History interesting, but in showing that History is more than simply the memorization of dates and names; I firmly believe that the study of History provides skills critical to a student's academic and personal growth. I...

...at the Museum of the Horse Soldier in Tucson, AZ. My academic career includes U.S. History, library and archival studies, and artifact collection, displays, and interpretation. I have tutored at the college level for almost ten years in Language, Writing, and History. I am an effective tutor because of my leadership and communication abilities. I enjoy helping people make sense of texts, images, objects, and the all important skill of critical thinking as of way...

...the long run, these changes have shaped me more as a teacher and a learner. Not only is tutoring a great way for me to help students learn their material, but it would help me to stay on my toes and be a better student as well. I have found in the past that if I am teaching a student, whether it is guitar or history, I always seem to improve my efforts in my...

...a passion for the humanities and social sciences and want to use that to help others. History and government can be tedious subject matters, but that shouldn't scare one away or stop an otherwise critical thinker. I look to achieve a casual conversation level of competency. Names and dates are important, but understanding trends and feeling connected to events in the past are just as important. Social science classes aren't just about one perspective, they're...

...academic level, the Fulbright program included university students and faculty; at the high school level, the exchange programs involved hundreds of students attending schools in the U.S. and abroad.

...about one year now. As you can tell, my specialty is English and writing, but I have also had great success with teaching math, because I am a good communicator. I sincerely believe that a student can learn to do anything as long as he understands what his teacher is explaining (and that is where I come in!) On top of that, I am an upbeat and positive person, and I honestly enjoy what I...

...I especially enjoy helping students with the early stages of non-L1 language acquisition (in either English, Spanish, or German). 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 around the Tucson area, hanging out with my friends (and my friends' dogs), and keeping...

...ask students to think about how global developments in politics, economics, and science have shaped the lives of individuals and societies throughout time. In Spanish, German, and English language courses, I strive to build students’ confidence and make communicating in another language fun! I particularly enjoy tutoring because it allows me to tailor the session to meet students’ unique needs. When I’m not tutoring, I’m writing histories of midwifery and obstetric medicine in Bolivia, translating...

Additionally, I taught German at an elementary...
