I have extensive experience in subjects ranging from Mathematics and Physics to the humanities. My breadth across these subjects enables me to take a diverse approach to teaching that extends beyond knowledge of one individual subject area. My favorite high school courses were AP Calculus and AP Physics, and my favorite courses during undergrad were in Moral Philosophy/Ethics. While at...

...languages, but I have also completed both the AP German and French exams, as well as the French DELF B2 and the German DSDII C1 level exams, and am ready to help tutor in those subjects.

I strive to help encourage students to discover their learning styles...

I studied finance and accounting at the undergraduate level before completing a master's degree in financial analysis. After working for accounting and investment firms, I started my own business focused on consulting, tax preparation, and research projects. In terms of languages, I had the opportunity to study for one year in both France and Germany, and I obtained college minors in both languages.

...to engage pupils and to give them the tools that they need to succeed on their own. This means not only teaching students the material, but also familiarizing 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.

...great deal from my students; I find that it is easier to learn a subject when one is at ease. One way I try to create that environment is to get to know and understand my student's story. I've tutored single parents, post-active duty military, people with learning disabilities and autism, students who have struggled with math all their lives, and students that are struggling with math for the first time. I have witnessed and...

I have tutored German at my home university and in some capacities abroad, at a language school in Dsseldorf meant for international students learning German. Patience and a mutual understanding have always been key for any student that I have tutored,...

...as a tutor. My other great advantage is flexibility. I believe that students and tutors are partners who make equal and mutual contributions to the learning process. Tutors have the responsibility to adapt materials to the learning styles, interests, and personalities of their students. Because of this, I always do my best to adapt my tutoring and any materials that I use to the needs of the individual student. I involve the student and listen...

I have been working with children in schools, daycares, summer programs, and afterschool programs for 13 years. I hope to use my diverse experiences to foster communities of joyful and eager learners.... I believe that each student travels on their own unique path to knowledge. I believe that a teacher is a guide along these paths, walking alongside each student, supporting them where they struggle and guiding them when there is a fork in the road.

...USA. My goal is to bring this amazing experience in my classes and make sure that you will not only learn another language, but also explore other cultures. Teaching was always my passion.

I am excited to tutor Spanish up to the level of working proficiency, and German to intermediate conversation level.

These critical thinking skills transfer over well...

...studies. As a student who once struggled with math yet eventually went on to pursue a graduate degree in Applied Mathematics, I have a deep understanding for the difficulties students face while studying STEM fields.

This is the primary method I use when teaching, as I am a huge proponent of hands on work over that of...

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 learn more of the German language through a glimpse of what is possible...

...topics to other students and review material with them. I always enjoyed teaching simply because I enjoyed and was passionate about the material itself. But I enjoyed it even more when I heard about all the success other students were having as a result of my teaching. I was recruited to Brown University for rowing, and am officially undeclared but plan on graduating with a dual degree in biology and German studies. My favorite subjects...
