Award-Winning German Tutors serving Sacramento, CA

...of each individual student. If there's one thing I've learned throughout my tutoring experience, it's that repetition just doesn't cut it when you're trying to achieve fluency in a foreign language. Or at least conventional repetition doesn't. In my tutoring sessions, I expose my students to a plethora of resources that use the vocabulary they need to ace their German classes in a way that provides each student with shades of meaning, a working knowledge...

...the University of Arizona with my BA in Linguistics. My minors are Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. I was born in Germany, and speak fluent German. I have always had a love and interest for languages, and my goal is to encourage students to also embrace foreign languages, and hopefully ignite a spark for second-language learning all kinds of different people. Learning a second, third, or even fourth language can be an extremely fun and rewarding...

...decade's worth of study in the French language and French acquisition both domestically and abroad. Along with French, I have significant hours of study in university-level German. I am conversationally fluent in other languages such as: Spanish, Italian, Norwegian, and Mandarin Chinese. In addition to my foreign language study, I am certified to teach English to non-native English speakers (TESOL). Furthermore, I have a wide knowledge of various fields in linguistics such as: Phonetics/Phonology, Syntax,...

...in London that I started my professional life in Washington where I worked for a think tank for a year. During that year I got my first experience in tutoring American students in German. My students included middle school level all the way up to senior-level professionals. My favorite part of teaching German to my students was following their progress and seeing them reach their goals together with me. My approach to tutoring really depends...

...not only my job, but my passion. I studied abroad in Germany (Stuttgart area) through UMD and am going to Berlin later this summer. The ability to communicate authentically is the overarching goal of my teaching. I want students to have the ability to use what they learned in real-life situations. I want my students to be intrinsically motivated when it comes to German language and culture. Essentially, I want them to go to Germany,...

I am a Seattle-based actress and singer originally from Illinois -- I moved to the Seattle area in 2000. I also work part-time at a non-profit guardianship firm downtown. (We look out for the financial and healthcare needs of the elderly and the physically and mentally disabled.) I am an anglophile and ailurophile (look them up! :-)), and I love theatre, movies, Gonzaga basketball (I went to law school there), and Chicago Cubs baseball.

...for over ten years. As a 7th grade Latin teacher, I have experience working with middle school students, and I have also taught Latin, history, and writing on the college level. In addition, I have also worked with high school students. I hold a B.A. in history and German studies from the University of Bielefeld, Germany, and am currently completing my PhD in Classics at the Johns Hopkins University. I enjoy learning as much as...

...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 of homework. I...

...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. My teaching style involves helping students find their ideal learning style based on their individual strengths and unique way of perceiving information. I try to focus on teaching "how" to think constructively rather than "what" to...

...is set-up just like English, except the main verb goes at the end. So, there isn't much trouble there. However, the words are very long and complex. I remember being in my first German class and we learned the longest German word, and I thought to myself, why would I want to learn this language? Nonetheless, I stuck with it, and am glad I did, because when I figured out how their words worked I...
