Award-Winning German Tutors in Manhattan, NY

...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 to my own...

...passion of mine. What began as helping my brothers and friends in math, has turned into a strong desire to teach and educate persons of all ages and backgrounds. Since then, I have helped students of all ages in many subjects: German, Italian & primarily Math. I have been a tennis coach for 7 years at the Western Tennis Club in Glasgow, mostly working with younger kids. I have always had a thing for numbers...

...with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so),...

...working with students continues to grow as I meet more capable, intelligent young people who often just need insight into how to tackle the mass of material they receive in the classroom. My background is as a classically trained singer, and I know first-hand the value of seeking the best help to improve one’s skills. I moved to New York City to continue my own development as a performer at the highest level, and I...

...I find the best way to help a student is to give him or her the tool necessary to learn and do for themselves. So, instead of simply helping them to memorize information, enough to get by, I try to teach them ways to learn and comprehend the information for themselves and to assist in their studies even beyond the tutoring session or particular subject area. Also, I find that motivation is a key factor...

...English-Language Arts (reading comprehension with students grades 1-4). I've worked in environments ranging from a charter school in the South Bronx to a prep school in Connecticut. In mathematics in particular I have strong experience working with students who have learning disabilities. I'm near-fluent in German and Spanish, have a year of Chinese under my belt, and have introductory familiarity with Turkish, Korean, French, Italian, and Japanese. If you ever need a conversation practice partner...

...I taught marketing at the University of Graz, Austria. As a lifelong musician (singer, pianist, violin player), I pursued a life-changing Berklee music degree (music writing & production, songwriting) in the middle of my consulting career. I write for orchestra, I produce pop and electronic music and conduct jazz ensembles and performed at Boston Symphony Hall, with Boston Pops and at numerous concerts in the U.S. and Europe being able to express my musical ideas...

...the Holy Cross and the University of Virginia. I received my BA from Holy Cross in Economics and German and my Masters in German from UVa. While at University of Virginia I taught introductory and intermediate German to undergraduate students and also tutored students in essay writing and grammar in both English and German. This past year I taught an undergraduate seminar in Germany at Ruhr University Bochum on German Film. Outside of teaching and...

...highest average grade increase in the program's history. By guiding other tutors and consulting students for feedback on their experience, I got a very keen sense of what works and what doesn't. In tutoring, I focus on results, but not to exclusion. I want to provide the student with a meaningful experience. That is to say, I aim to cultivate an appreciation for math, science, and/or the humanities that will last into college and their...

...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. Having worked in undergraduate admissions at a top 50 research university for 3 years, I know exactly what top colleges are looking for, and I'm ready to help you get into the school of your dreams. Whether you need tutoring in the...
