Award-Winning German Tutors serving Manhattan, NY

Though my primary career is as a web developer, I am also an experienced, personable tutor with expertise in a wide variety of subject areas. During my ten years of experience as a teacher and tutor, I've displayed a consistent ability to engage with students to make learning enjoyable and rewarding.... I resolutely favor critical-thinking skills over rote learning. I believe humans have a natural desire and ability to learn, and my experience has shown me...

...graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts in German from Utah State University, with minors in Latin, Linguistics and Music Performance. During my studies I began tutoring other university students of all levels in both German and Latin. Assisting language students has been a joy for me since the beginning, and an endeavor I have been eager to continue pursuing. There's something unique and inherently wonderful about the ability to express thoughts in multiple...

...at Camp Invention, a summer camp providing instruction in math and science. In my experience, the greatest strides for teaching a struggling student are made when the process of learning occurs as a product of conversation rather than rigid instruction and rote memorization. Though I tutor across a variety of subjects my passions are English, Literature, and History. Education, I believe, is a process of empowerment and helping students reach their potential through an engaged...

...literature and music. I studied German language & literature for teaching at the University of Osnabrueck/Germany. I finished with my 1st State examination and specialized afterwards in the arts: I have been trained as an actress and vocalist at the"Schule fuer Schauspiel" (School for acting) in Hamburg/Germany and worked as a freelance actress and vocalist (Belcanto & Jazz) in Europe and America. I'm offering both of my specialties, German language and Vocal Training, for Tutoring/Lessons.

I have completed a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Master's in Marine Science. I have taken courses in a variety of subjects, and worked as a Teaching Assistant for several science classes. Academics can be challenging, but I believe you can achieve success through persistence, patience, and the right help.

...goes along with learning. My favorite thing about teaching is watching the "aha!" moment as children finally understand a concept that may have been challenging for them. I hold a Masters in Education (EdM) from Columbia University as well as a Masters in Music (MM) in vocal performance from the Manhattan School of Music. I like to think that I bring some of the performing spirit into the learning process to make it fun!

...high school math and English as well. I like to work with students who are engaged and like to create their own path of learning, whatever their level is to begin with. I often adapt my curriculum to help them develop their interests and style of learning. When not engaged with my studies and writing, I like to dance, attend theatres (which is rather difficult these days), go for walks in different neighborhoods, and try...

...for Drama. Being a native german speaker enables me to not only help with grammar and written exercises, but with me you will be able to practice your pronunciation and communication skills as well. I want to help students find their ideal learning style by understanding their individual strengths and unique way of perceiving information. I would love to see if we would be a good match to study, learn and grow together in the...

...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), I'm the tutor for you!

...session or particular subject area. Also, I find that motivation is a key factor in studying and that finding what interests you about a subject or even an unconventional (but effective) way to approach a subject can instill that motivation on its own, giving the student the desire to move forward for him- or herself. Even though I spend a lot of time reading and writing in my own studies, I particularly enjoy doing so...

I believe that anyone can succeed in pursuing their goals. I aim to help students gain confidence as they broaden their portfolio of skills and increase their ability to help themselves.... My goal is to empower the student to leverage their strengths and support the student in mastering new learning skills and problem-solving strategies... Get a sense of the student's personality, learning style, and comfort zone, while assessing the student's short- and long-term priorities. Then, we...

...Austria through a Fulbright, as well as in Kyrgyzstan through a private school. My teaching philosophy revolves around empowering you, the students, to not only learn the material, but also learn what strategies work best for you and how you can learn to self asses. I am extremely well traveled, urbane, but also fun and enjoy skiing, rugby, art, and cooking. I went to Vassar College and have a very holistic, experienced understanding of education...

...and Berlin in Germany, and hold degrees in German Law and Literature. My students come from all levels, from total beginners to opera singers to law professionals. I have traveled extensively, and taught at all big language schools in the US. I enjoy reading, running along the East River, and the cultural diversity of New York City. My new teaching method will enable you to speak German right after your first session!

...could help students in both of these languages. In addition I have taken Spanish grammar courses at Montclair State University, thanks to which I have been able to help my fellow classmates. Some of my hobbies are soccer, basketball, and hanging out with my friends. I am also a soccer referee, working in various youth, men's, and high school leagues. Also, my favorite soccer league to watch is the English Premier League, though in my...

...remain calm in doing so. I tutor math (up to Calc I), English (up to AP-level), Spanish (up to AP-level), Physics (Regents-level), German (up to intermediate), French, Latin (both elementary), and the SATs and GREs. Of the subjects I've tutored so far, I'd say math is my favorite because it is highly objective and it comes very naturally to me. My interests outside of academics include music, playing music, and, obviously, politics (don't worry, I'm...

...a wide range of ages in a wide variety of subjects throughout college. My passion for languages shapes my preferred tutoring realm; I especially enjoy teaching others the languages I am familiar with and fluent in, which include English, German, Italian, and Spanish. I also enjoy assisting in science-related fields, mostly for school-aged children and teens. Lastly, in my fifteen years of violin-playing, I have been part of a number of ensembles, including the Columbia...

...Biology. During my time at Princeton, I took part in the peer-tutoring program, through which I tutored many students in a variety of subjects. I also worked extensively with students through an internship with the Maryland Zoo's education department. Since graduating, I have been traveling and working for an environmental nonprofit in NYC. I currently tutor in math, science, and test prep (SAT and ACT). As a tutor, I am patient and collaborative. I work...

...as a human being. To add, I tutor German, Italian, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Computer Science and Calculus I. My favorite subject to tutor is Calculus, due to the fact that it has a fearsome reputation for students. Calculus, just like many other difficult problems, can be easily split into easier problems that are more manageable. Whenever I'm not working or studying, I enjoy going to the gym, learning new things, and doing martial arts....

...health & physiology; biology, and revisiting concepts on anything pertinent to medicine, mathematics (calculus, statistics, epidemiology), and writing prose. I am the philosophical type of student-motivator, which to me means that I place the highest value in transforming difficult concepts into simpler, understandable processes. It is my desire to evoke a detailed, precise, imaginative explanation, opening up our minds in the session to true learning... not just the easy facts you'd attain for free a...

...lived with host families and tutored several young children under the age of ten. I have also mentored undergraduate college students and help international students from China with improving their English. As a linguist, I understand the challenges of mastering one's first and second languages, which is why I specialize in German and English. Reaching educational goals is something I highly value in myself as well as others. I find tutoring to be a fulfilling...
