Award-Winning German Tutors in Nashville, TN

I firmly believe knowing concepts allows students to expand their problem solving skills into unknown territory and allows them to better address unfamiliar questions and problem sets. I recognize that not all students learn best through the same teaching methods. I like to try multiple ways of teaching styles...

...ACT preparation, math, writing, French, and German, for nearly a decade. Because I so clearly remember the anxiety of preparing for my college boards, as well as the satisfaction of moving from confusion to mastery, preparing young adults for the ACT gives me the most satisfaction as a teacher and tutor.

...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 and younger siblings with countless hours...

...writing. I am also available to tutor psychology and German (beginner- and intermediate-level). Although I enjoy helping students improve in all subjects, I find that tutoring for standardized tests offers particularly rewarding experiences given the potential impact on students' future academic endeavors.

I try to focus on teaching "how" to think constructively rather...

Once I see how a student is retaining information, I find that having the student take the information and...

Whenever appropriate, I like to include cultural elements in my lessons and I am very passionate about fostering a greater understanding among people of different cultural backgrounds and a deeper appreciation of what makes each of us unique. I am very engaged in my students’ progress and bring my personal formula for success to every lesson: 5e = s (Ease + expertise + engagement + enthusiasm + excellence = success). In my spare time,...

I am driven to motivate my students to exceed their educational goals, help them to realize their academic potential, and inspire them to embrace learning as a fun, lifelong pursuit.
