In my spare time, I enjoy reading philosophy and novels, writing, meditating, slacklining,...

...beginning college students are my specialty, but I can tutor students of any age. I can customize lessons to your needs and interests, and I can help you more easily understand some of the elements of German that may seem a little intimidating or complex at first. Aside from tutoring and using German, I am an international relations professional and an avid tennis player, bicyclist, ice hockey player, and youth ice hockey coach.

...Germany due to my time living and studying there. Regarding my teaching philosophy, I have always been an experiential learner, so I understand that not everyone learns traditionally, and I like bringing in cultural and anecdotal connections when teaching to give my students a colorful backdrop to what they are learning. In my spare time, I enjoy going to museums in New York (The Met, The Brooklyn Museum, The Whitney Museum, and MoMA are some...

I'm a former NYC high school teacher with a master's degree from Pace University's School of Education. I have also worked as a college tutor, a high school mentor, and a teaching assistant in New Orleans. I have experience with a wide range of ages and abilities and am passionate about getting to know the strengths and challenges of each student. In my spare time, I love to read, bike, and try new recipes.

...home in Berlin. It's been an amazing journey ever since! Between teaching 4th grade and solely instructing an accredited freshman-level sociology course at Rutgers University during my senior year of college, I've been fortunate enough to help students adequately connect with the necessary material (school work, prep courses, etc) in ways that suit their maturity level, learning style and personal needs. You can count on me to be patient and understanding, while still holding you...

...instruction for the particular needs of the student. One must quickly diagnose the main areas the student needs to improve, so as not to waste time. A great tutor can see outside the box and be flexible enough to explain the same concept in a variety of ways, depending on the needs of the student. A tutor must be more personable with the student than a classroom teacher, who to a certain degree, must hide...

Language learning has always been a passion of mine, along with traveling and broadening my horizons. In my free time, I take improv classes at Second...

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to show my students how...

...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 be my main Tutoring language because of living in Germany, where I picked up the do's and don'ts of the language. I hope that you will choose me, as your tutor....

...learning German in order to expand their professional opportunities. My teaching philosophy is that learning is an interactive process and I would encourage my students to take an active role towards achieving positive results. On a personal level, I enjoy listening to music (classical and oldies), traveling around the Midwest and to foreign countries, reading good books, and writing short fiction. I also like to learn languages myself and I am currently working on improving...
