Award-Winning German Tutors serving Overland Park, KS

...have spent considerable time in academia, I have not forgotten my roots on a farm in New Mexico, where I was raised. In my research I combine my love of the land with my professional interest in ancient history by analyzing ancient attitudes and uses of landscapes. While I tutor a broad range of subjects across the humanities, I enjoy teaching history the most. When I teach history, my goal is to teach students to...

...but what links them all is language as a tool for connection and personal growth. Learning someone else's language shows that you respect their culture and want to understand it. At the same time, learning a new language can lead to insights about your own language and culture. When tutoring, I strive to help students meet their immediate (practical) goals while encouraging them to discover more about learning styles and strategies so they can succeed...

...Carolina. Given my varied professional and academic background, I tutor a broad range of subjects, from GRE Verbal test prep to Psychology. Of these subjects, I am most enthusiastic about ESL and German, as I believe learning another language is a wonderful way to open yourself up to new opportunities and experiences. From my own learning experience, I know it takes a lot of support to be a successful student, and I take joy in...

...very patient and understanding person. I speak clearly and always make sure I can help the student find a way to understand the material, even if it means deviating form normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have...

...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 depending on...

...at Hamilton, I worked both as a German Teaching Assistant in the German department and as a Writing Tutor at the Hamilton Writing Center. As a T.A., I helped my students develop study skills, complete homework, and improve their German language skills. As a writing tutor, 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...

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.

...I see myself as a qualified, knowledgeable tutor, I think it's just as important for me to motivate, lead, inspire, and mentor my students. Do you have test anxiety? Math anxiety, specifically? Is it 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...

...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 students to...

...Ph.D. student at Columbia, and I just moved to New York City this fall! I love tutoring and teaching students, and I have worked with a number of educational programs, from boarding schools to Americorps. I specialize in languages (English, French, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek) and test prep. I seek to help my students make connections between new material and things that are familiar to them, breaking down higher concepts with accessible examples that...
