Award-Winning German Tutors serving Sacramento, CA

...not just to have you understand something, but to be able to have fun with it, be able to sit down, play around with the pieces, and by doing that learn something new about it. Learning is exploring: as a tutor I see myself as a guide, my job is to get you excited about the topic so that you begin to ask questions and piece together the picture yourself. My interests include board games,...

...I have a wide variety of approaches to help all types of students master the material. I also believe that, in my German tutoring especially, I'm very systematic, so that my students have a strong grammar foundation on which to build further skills and concepts. I have also lived in Germany for a year, and am able to bring world-life experiences into tutoring sessions, so that I can instill in my students a desire to...

...preparation for the ACT, SAT, and AP tests; and topics in literature and history. My favorite subject to tutor is probably calculus because calculus really opens students' options for further exploration in math, science, economics, and pretty much every other STEM field. When it comes to tutoring, I believe that in order to give useful feedback to a student I need to observe and listen to them just as much they need to listen to...

...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 been through exactly what they're going through and I...

...thinking. I find it rewarding to help students overcome many of the same challenges and hurtles that I and my peers overcame. Tutoring is a way for me to repay a debt I feel I owe to my own teachers by helping others succeed where my teachers helped me succeed. 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...

...their own. I am very patient and understand that sometimes all it takes to understand a difficult concept is to explain it in a few different ways. We all learn differently, so I aim to develop an individualized approach for each student in order to make the most of our time together. While I am not being a tutor, I am a musician. In addition to singing, I play the violin and viola and dabble...

...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 institutions like Stuyvesant H.S. and Columbia.... Patience is key. On...

...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 the student's way of learning. I am outgoing, encouraging...

...learning itself. While I agree that the goal of teaching is to help someone learn a certain topic, the greatest achievement in teaching I have experienced is giving someone the ability to reason, and the drive and ability to begin teaching themselves. I enjoy teaching certain topics because of their power to bring this about, including languages, mathematics, and (of course) philosophy. All of these areas stretch from an elementary to an advanced level, and...

As an ME student at MIT, I've learned a lot about math and science, and I'd love to share that knowledge with students here. I've taught over thirty students in standardized test preparation, English, German, and various kinds of math and science. It's very important to find teaching methods that meet students' individual needs,so the first meeting will usually be largely about finding the perfect learning strategy for a student.

...them with effective learning strategies and helping them develop strong study skills--all in a way that is supportive and which capitalizes on their existing strengths.

I aim to help students develop the strong language and analytical skills that they need to excel in these areas. In addition, I offer math...

...the ways in which you learn best and allowing yourself to have what you need, even if it isn't seen as average. Too often, our schools value data over students and forget that education is about discovery and personal growth. As a teacher and tutor, I strive to understand my students individually as whole, complex people. In doing so, I am able to better reach the person in front of me, utilizing their unique interests...

...earned a BA in German with a minor in Education. I earned a teaching certificate for German in New Jersey. Since then, I have taught students of all ages, including twelve years in public schools teaching 6th-12th graders. I taught adults in a community course and ran a tutoring center at a community college. I have also volunteered presenting German instruction at preschools and elementary schools on special celebrations for my children's classes. I have...

...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 being part of my students' support team. It is...

...Department. I also coached opera singers at the National Opera (former Washington Opera). As a college teacher of voice and at Loyola University New Orleans, I had the pleasure of teaching German to aspiring young opera singers and taught German Lieder (art song repertoire). My teaching style is varied and depends on the goals and the levels of each student. I am a stickler for grammar but I have lots of fun ways to practice...

Having been both student and tutor for a considerable amount of...

...of my teaching experience is in English, I have always tutored French and German on the side, and I am most passionate about those languages. The first semester of my senior year in high school was spent living with a host family in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and I also spent a semester studying at La Sorbonne in college. I thus have a strong linguistic and cultural connection with France and Germany due to my time living...
