Award-Winning German Tutors serving San Jose, CA

...of my broad experience in tutoring many different subjects, so that 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,...

...guidance rather than direct instruction, helping students to discover answers on 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...

...am a 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...

...mathematics, from middle school mathematics to multivariable calculus and differential equations; 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...

...am currently a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I tutor for living learning communities while at U of I in college Physics, Chemistry, and German. I also volunteer at a local high school in all levels of the German classes as sometimes a pull out and after school tutor. I am a very passionate person, and one of my major passions is school and I want to spread that passion around and...

...my writing ability and am employed at our Critical Writing Center. Here, I advise both undergraduate and graduate students on their academic and professional writing, editing and proofreading for grammar, logical coherence, and persuasiveness. I love my job at the Writing Center and enjoy the one-on-one time I have with recurring tutees. These skills would give me specific insight into the college writing style, particularly helpful in working with college application essays.

...in Connecticut. In mathematics in particular I have strong experience working with students who have learning disabilities. I'm near-fluent in German and Spanish, have a year of Chinese under my belt, and have introductory familiarity with Turkish, Korean, French, Italian, and Japanese. If you ever need a conversation practice partner for German/Spanish, let me know! Talking again about math, I have the most experience teaching Pre-Algebra through Algebra II, but I'm more than comfortable working...

...Durham, North 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...

...also for creating and encouraging interest in specific topics and in 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...

...super enthusiastic about learning as I am about teaching and kick-started my tutoring career many years ago while volunteering at a refugee home in Berlin. It's been an amazing journey ever since! Between teaching 4th grade and solely instructing an accredited freshman-level sociology course at Rutgers University during my senior year of college, I've been fortunate enough to help students adequately connect with the necessary material (school work, prep courses, etc) in ways that suit...

...variety of subjects throughout college. My passion for languages shapes my preferred tutoring realm; I especially enjoy teaching others the languages I am familiar with and fluent in, which include English, German, Italian, and Spanish. I also enjoy assisting in science-related fields, mostly for school-aged children and teens. Lastly, in my fifteen years of violin-playing, I have been part of a number of ensembles, including the Columbia University Orchestra, and have taught violin to elementary...

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.

...much as 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...

...two years now. I also spent a semester volunteering with a volunteer based organization which focuses on helping Elementary school children who are reading below grade level get caught up and have worked as a writing tutor for about one year now. As you can tell, my specialty is English and writing, but I have also had great success with teaching math, because I am a good communicator. I sincerely believe that a student can...

...name is 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...

...I am a 24-year old student who has just graduated from 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,...

...tailor my tutoring sessions to the language learning needs and goals 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...

I'm a former NYC high school teacher with a master's degree from Pace University's School of Education. I have also worked as a college tutor, a high school mentor, and a teaching assistant in New Orleans. I have experience with a wide range of ages and abilities and am passionate about getting to know the strengths and challenges of each student. In my spare time, I love to read, bike, and try new recipes.

...an enthusiastic and creative tutor who loves to 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...
