Award-Winning German Tutors serving Hendersonville, TN

...with foreign language instruction, I am also well-versed in English writing and reading, history, and geography. I believe so much of teaching is getting to know a student's background, interests, and learning style in order to tackle important concepts in a comprehensible manner. As a tutor I intend to reach this goal with all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy learning languages, traveling, hiking, riding my bike, and going on walks.

...and German Studies. During my time at Sewanee I served as a Public Speaking tutor at Sewanee's Center for Speaking and Listening and am super passionate about helping students become more confident in their Public Speaking abilities. I came into Sewanee as a math major and love helping students up to Pre-Calculus learn to love math just as I did from elementary school to high school! I also remember struggling with standardized tests such as...

My name is Christopher and I've been tutoring for just around two years. My first tutoring experience was working with some of the girls and boys clubs around Nashville. I eventually started branch out and help classmates with things like the ACT or SAT. I hope to help you or your child succeed with the subjects where they need assistance.

...is to assist students in a way that does not only enable them to reach their academic goals, but also to make sure they enjoy the learning process and grow personally. I am a native German speaker, but I grew up in Thailand and attended both a German and an English international school. I've had the privilege to grow up and study in a multilingual environment, where I developed a passion for languages early on....

I'm not always nerdy, but when I am I go all in.

...and pronunciation that are foreign. I've helped many get over those hurdles. I majored in Political Science and Spanish in undergrad, Latin American Economics and History in graduate school, and worked for the U.S. State Department for eight years in Brazil, Germany, Angola, and Panama, using Spanish, Portuguese, and German in a professional context daily. My hobbies are basketball, martial arts, music, history, travel, and learning languages and I'm excited to help people learn!

...minored in creative writing. I spent a year serving with AmeriCorps where I worked full-time tutoring children who were working as many as 2 grade levels behind the state's standard. With my help, they improved their understanding of their school material and met their grade level standards on state tests. In my free time, I like to go hiking and ride my bicycle. I also like to write, and have aspirations to be a published...

I'm born and raised in Munich, Germany and reside in Nashville, TN since 1999. I hold a masters degree in graphic design and a associate degree in offset printing. I started my professional music career in 1985 playing guitar, banjo, mandolin, dobro (resophonic guitar) and bass. Music is pure, it is real. It heals, it communicates and does a lot of incredible things.

...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 performance, and this...

...an undergraduate at Columbia College. I love tutoring students in 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...

...math, and German. It is most exciting for me to tutor German and writing because I am incredibly passionate about the German 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...

...a variety of subjects from the role of free speech in society to the history of suburban development. I enjoy tutoring because of the opportunity it provides to encourage students' intellectual curiosity. Seeing the joy of learning when a concept "clicks" for someone is one of the perks of the job. I also appreciate the mental stimulation tutoring provides for me, exercising my brain in different ways than I do with my artwork or other...

...knowledge and a deeper love of learning. I believe in tailoring creative learning strategies to each individual student's needs. I specialize in ISEE, PSAT, and SAT prep, English, History, and German tutoring, and college essay coaching.

Whether you need...

...difficult for you to create, organize, and execute a study plan? Or do you simply want straightforward, content-based prep and study help? In either case, I'm excited to help you achieve your academic and standardized test goals. My academic credentials consist of a BA in Political Science and German from the University of Rhode Island, and a Master's degree in Environmental Management from Duke University. I speak German and Spanish. I'm confident tutoring several standardized tests,...

...I worked with peers to strengthen their essays, develop writing techniques, and explore their ideas on paper. These experiences helped me learn the importance of patience, encouragement, and flexibility while tutoring. I feel best when I know my student feels more sure and excited about a subject. That's when I've truly done my job! I believe it's important to tailor each lesson to the student's personal learning style and interests. That way a subject becomes...

Hi! I'm Rachel. I have a pretty relaxed teaching style and adapt well to all kinds of students. I really aim for students to understand concepts rather than make great test scores. However, great test scores are a good side effect of understanding concepts better.

...ability to begin teaching themselves. I enjoy teaching certain topics because of their power to bring this about, including languages, mathematics, and (of course) philosophy. All of these areas stretch from an elementary to an advanced level, and I consider it of cardinal importance to equally value the successful communication both of elementary topics, such as algebra 1 or German word order, and complex ones, such as deontological critiques of utilitarian ethics. By valuing all...

...name is Zach Polonsky, and I am a junior at Colorado School of Mines, studying Engineering Physics. As a physics major, I know the importance of understanding the fundamentals of 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...

...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 understand something they didn't before.... I believe...

...and greatly enjoyed it and would like to tutor again. Now, having just graduated with my undergraduate degree, I am looking to begin tutoring as a true mentor, and not as a classmate. I have always excelled in and enjoyed the classroom setting. I scored a 34 composite on my ACT and 2120 on my SAT, and would be happy to help with the challenges of preparing for standardized tests, as well as regular subjects...
