Certified German Tutor in Palo Alto, CA
...program in high school. I went to Germany knowing only a few words, so I definitely know language learning frustrations first-hand. I kept working at it, studied abroad again at the University of Bonn, and earned my Bachelor's degree in German! I was able to apply these skills as an educator when I taught English in Austrian high schools for two years. I have worked with K-adult learners, and I hope to be meeting you...

Helene: Palo Alto German tutor
Certified German Tutor in Palo Alto, CA
...like solving a puzzle. Each student has her or his own unique set of strengths. I believe that figuring out what these are and molding the content around them is the key to good teaching. Helping students to see and to use their own strengths is the least mentioned part of the equation, but for me it is the most important, because that is how I get my kids to become autonomous and self-motivated learners....

I even began attending Biology review sessions to help my teacher explain topics to other students and review material with them.

...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 been through exactly what they're going through and I believe the number one trait is patience. I never rush a student and treat them with the utmost respect.

Education is necessary for personal growth and human flourishing as a whole, and I try to embody this attitude while working with students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading philosophy and novels, writing, meditating, slacklining, and playing the occasional video game.
