Award-Winning German Tutors in Mount Vernon, NY

...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!... All questions are solvable - and believe it or not, FUN - when you look at them in the right light. Talking with people to come up with new angles of attack is far better than going at it alone. In short: reframe, reframe, REFRAME.

...My teaching includes more than 30 years of experience. I am a native German. Recently I moved to New York with my wife and my two kids. I studied German (Germanistik) in Munich at the Maximilian Ludwig University, Germany, and graduated with the Magister in Germanistik. I worked for a lot of different companies like the VHS Berlin in Germany or the University of Arts in Graz, Austria. I also work with people working in...

...Film Studies from Bowling Green State University. I have had extensive tutoring experience with students of all ages. In between my studies, I spent a year working as an au pair in both Guatemala and Germany, where I 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...

...things like to tackle public transport or how to order in restaurants, or support professionals who need to interact with German clients or business partners. I'm a calm and patient person, and I believe there are no stupid questions, just stupid answers. My aim is to put students at ease and to make learning fun. In my free time I like to got to movies and the theater or see the latest photo or art...

...we played school because WE had the nun costumes. (Thanks, Mom!) As a high school sophomore, I was asked to teach the freshman German class because I had learned so much of the language on my own, with the help of an older sister who was studying it in college. (Thanks, Sis!) As a graduate student, my advisor asked me to teach a year-long course in electronic music, a subject that at the time I...

...I moved to Hamburg, Germany, where I lived for 4 years and where I met my German husband. There I worked for three years for a language school. I also have experience teaching French to children as a a volunteer for an NGO. Now based in Hoboken, NJ, I continue to be passionate about foreign languages and other cultures. I teach French and German, and I hope I can help you increase your skills and...

I am a published novelist and a graduate of one of the most prestigious law schools in California. I have been a staff member on a presidential campaign, and I have been around the world. I am enthusiastic about learning, and about communicating my knowledge. I get along with almost everyone and I have outstanding morals, ethics and values.... I approach each individual and task in a specialized manner. I vary my approach in accordance with the student and subject matter. I believe that learning can be (almost always) fun, given the proper attitude and approach.

I am a professional actor, singer, vocal coach, and teacher. I am a bilingual native German speaker and am happy and excited to help you with your German and/or public speaking. I have a lot of experience in teaching people of any age and level, so everyone is welcome to contact me. ... I am happy and excited to teach anyone who is willing to learn and is curious. Everything else can be acquired and developed. I truly believe that anyone is capable of doing whatever they want to do if their will is strong enough. Looking forward to meeting you!

...enjoy helping other students succeed because in part, it makes me succeed, not only as a tutor, but also 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....

...French and Business Administration. Since graduation, I obtained teaching certifications in Spanish and French. My student teaching experience was at Kings Park High School, where I taught Spanish to ninth and tenth graders. My tutoring style is to convey to students that a foreign language does not have to be overwhelming if it is broken down into simple parts. My teaching philosophy is that I believe everyone approaches learning differently and a tutor should understand...
