...a Degree in Modern Languages, German and Spanish, and a Master's Degree in Education. The past four years, I worked as a German instructor at Lehigh University and Moravian College in Pennsylvania, and I tutored children and adults part time. My goal as a tutor is to provide students with a sound basis of the German language as it is spoken and written today, as well as cultural knowledge of German speaking countries.

...each individual student. Whenever appropriate, I like to include cultural elements in my lessons and I am very passionate about fostering a greater understanding among people of different cultural backgrounds and a deeper appreciation of what makes each of us unique. I am very engaged in my students’ progress and bring my personal formula for success to every lesson: 5e = s (Ease + expertise + engagement + enthusiasm + excellence = success). In my...

I have been tutoring for four years. I started out as a tutor for students from grade 3 all the way to college for two years. I helped students with a set curriculum as well as their schoolwork.

...helping others to understand them better. Since my teaching revolves around language learning, my teaching philosophy focuses on how to achieve fluency. There are several skills that involve language learning which include speaking, writing, reading, grammar, vocabulary, and listening. Everyone is quick to say that speaking is the most important and the only skill you will need to have. However, I have been in many German, Spanish, and French classes and I always see a...

...Bible, martial arts, and even juggling. My favorite math subject has always been Calculus. My students have told me that math is difficult for them because they can't "see" it. I've always been able to "see" math, and "seeing" Calculus is the most fun. When I tutor, I don't give answers; I help my students to "see" things like I do, to understand the whys and hows. Once you truly understand it, mathematics becomes very...

I try to impart to my students a sense of discovery and...

...Wellesley College and was a Jewish Studies major there; my concentration was in Hebrew language - both Biblical and modern. My academic interests centered around the study of Tanach (Hebrew Bible) and the ancient world - specifically the birth of rabbinic Judaism and the Jesus movement out of first century Palestine in the Roman Empire - but my course of study was very language-heavy: by the end of my time there, I was taking Biblical...

...Anatomy and Physiology are my most favorite. My style of tutoring consists of two major principles: that both tutor and student meet each other halfway in the process of learning and that using visual aids (charts, diagrams, drawings, etc) and encouraging students to make their own by hand is an excellent of learning and understanding new material. Additionally, I am very passionate about the subjects I tutor, and feel that if a student can develop...

...literature, and writing. I tutor all levels of English and German, with a preference for literary and creative genres. One-on-one tutoring presents my ideal teaching scenario: it allows me to provide my undivided attention, to tailor my approach to the student’s needs, and to become a supportive and compassionate mentor all around. I strive to engage my student through a dynamic and friendly approach, and to make learning effective and fun. Besides reading and writing,...
