Award-Winning German Tutors serving Hayward, CA

...first experience in tutoring American students in German. My students included middle school level all the way up to senior-level professionals. My favorite part of teaching German to my students was following their progress and seeing them reach their goals together with me. My approach to tutoring really depends on the student and his or her needs. However, as a general rule of thumb I try to stick to the doctrine of "learning by doing"...

...1994 I underwent training to teach Russian as a second language. Over my more than 20 years in teaching, I have trained people of all stripes for all kinds of personal goals: to improve their grades at school, to pass university entrance exams, to help American-born kids return to their roots, or just to boost their self-confidence. My teaching approach is comprehensive, and includes all the components of language: phonetics (working on correct pronunciation), grammar,...

...student who has just graduated from the University of Arizona with my BA in Linguistics. My minors are Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. I was born in Germany, and speak fluent German. I have always had a love and interest for languages, and my goal is to encourage students to also embrace foreign languages, and hopefully ignite a spark for second-language learning all kinds of different people. Learning a second, third, or even fourth language can...

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...

...and creative tutor who loves to do her best to make learning fun (as cheesy as that sounds, it's true!). My primary experience is with SAT prep, as one of my summer internships in college was to start an SAT tutoring company in my hometown of Ephrata, PA. My students improved their test scores an average of 200 points after meeting for 6-8 sessions with me! Aside from that I've always helped my babysitting charges...

I'm a published author, a proud father of 3 kids, and a lifelong learner. I have a BA degree in economics and business, an MPA degree in public administration, and I'm happy to help with business, political science, math, English, economics, German, statistics, Microsoft Office or whatever else ails you.

I hold a B.A. in history and German studies from the University of Bielefeld, Germany, and am currently completing my PhD in Classics at the Johns Hopkins University. I enjoy learning as much as I enjoy teaching, and am a firm believer in Seneca's statement "non scholae sed vitae discimus" - we learn not for school, but for life.... I believe...

...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 accountable to our learning goals. You can also expect our sessions to incorporate active learning,...

...a tutoring center at a community college. I have also volunteered presenting German instruction at preschools and elementary schools on special celebrations for my children's classes. I have used a variety of teaching techniques but I generally use lively, hands-on methods, and I feel that learning through stories and physical responses greatly improves success in communication. Beyond tutoring, my interests include hiking and nature, environmental issues, reading, word games, travel, and spending time with my...
