Award-Winning German Tutors serving Westchester, NY

...they came from, discovering what makes them tick. This helps me in my teaching process - there is not one mold of teaching that fits everyone...it's important to be flexible in your teaching style without losing the underlying pedagogy of the subject matter. I have a great ear for languages and know four fluently, with another two at a basic level. Once you know one language, it's easier to learn another, once you start understanding...

...has in helping people understand difficult concepts and grasp the connections between ideas from different academic subjects. As a tutor, I strive to help students attain comprehension and learn how to approach subjects that may seem daunting at first. During my time as an undergraduate, I volunteered as a tutor for middle school students as part of a joint athletic and academic after school program. I am most passionate about helping people learn history, social...

I am willing to do whatever it takes for anyone to improve on tests and retain the knowledge that I teach them.

...the anthropological and sociopolitical threads that are so beautifully interwoven through the use of words and expression. Besides English, I speak (to varying conversational degrees) Spanish, German, and Japanese. Living in New York City, however, provides an amazing cornucopia of so many of the world's languages and cultures, and I take every opportunity I can to make a connection with them. I'm also an avid reader, a latent (but perhaps budding) writer, a lover of...

...and history. I also served as a teaching assistant and worked one-on-one with elementary school students at Camp Invention, a summer camp providing instruction in math and science. In my experience, the greatest strides for teaching a struggling student are made when the process of learning occurs as a product of conversation rather than rigid instruction and rote memorization. Though I tutor across a variety of subjects my passions are English, Literature, and History. Education,...

...Diploma. Before attending Middlebury College, I worked in an English primary and high school in Geneva, Switzerland in an international environment. During my time there, I taught French to beginners and Mathematics as a replacement teacher. Following this, I replaced a music teacher. My confidence grew through these experiences as I was challenged to discipline and teach classes of 20 students, some of whom were only a few years younger than myself. I won the...

...the material and the lively mind of the student. In addition to my own tutoring practice, I've also been director of a non-profit tutoring center. Under my administration we tracked students' scores and attained the highest average grade increase in the program's history. By guiding other tutors and consulting students for feedback on their experience, I got a very keen sense of what works and what doesn't. In tutoring, I focus on results, but not...

...themselves in another culture through learning a foreign language. Language influences thinking, the way we interact with others and to some degree how we see the world. When learning another language, it often provides glimpses into other perspectives. Learning a second (or third, or...) language is not only a way to learn about a different culture and alternative ways for social interactions but can really broaden the horizon. Apart from language learning and teaching, I...

...simpler ideas. It is within these simpler ideas that a clear understanding must be made. Often times in the realm of problem solving, many solutions are possible. I encourage the employment of many different methods for one problem, because we all think differently. Additionally, I have many different certificates in many different subjects. My favorite subject that I received multiple certificates in is Linear Algebra. The most entertaining course for only one certificate was data...

...a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and I am currently a first year medical student at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Over the years, I have enjoyed a lot of academic success. I believe that the secret to succeeding in school is not just to memorize content, but to truly own one's learning and enjoy the process of gaining mastery of a subject. I have been a tutor for over six years...

...that at the time I didnt know well at all. (Thanks, Dr. Stokes!) Thats when I really learned how to learn and how to teach - fast. Since then, I have taught a variety of subjects to everyone from preschoolers to adult learners - and Im still going to school myself. My background in the arts enables me to take novel approaches to asking questions, while my background in health care gives me a strong...

...in the hopes of one day addressing those concerns as an attorney. For students just learning the LSAT or for students who have been struggling with it, I know what it's like! I recently took the LSAT and have successfully helped other students conquer the test by crafting a practice schedule and developing specific strategies for approaching each section and each question type. Ultimately, you will be learning how to think like the test. The...

...Prior to my time at Notre Dame, I was nominated by various administrators at my high school to serve as a tutor for underclassmen. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Mathematics and English as I feel that these two subjects are the gateway for advancement in our ever-changing world. I also have a love for foreign language as I have studied German for 9 years and Spanish for...

...see where in your thought process you can improve/reevaluate. I'm pretty easy going and like joking around. So there won't be much pressure and, for sure no judgement on my part. Everyone is coming from different places in their learning. I myself understand the difficulty of coming to understanding a topic. But it's possible ! :) Outside of academia, I like working out at the gym/running/cycling, drawing (see my insta @abigail_iturra_art), and lounging around with...

...come from Holland and moved to Bridgeport, CT in 2004. I graduated from the University of Bridgeport with a Masters Degree in Education and taught at the Bridgeport Hope School as a fifth grade teacher. I was also involved in the after school tutoring program. I am very interested in helping students excel in math (up to pre-Algebra) and language arts. These subjects can be hard, but I will help you be successful in mastering...

I tutor because there is so much to learn in the world, and learning should not be done alone. Education is the best way to open up the world for yourself, and it has to start somewhere - in school, a tutoring session, traveling, making mistakes, reading, and just experiencing life!... There is so much to learn in the world, and learning should not be done alone!... I would gauge their grasp of the subject and...

...public speaking, and math. For students studying for the ACT or SAT I offer a preparatory course with measured progress reports as we move through each section. I attended a competitive university and I know what it takes to make a student a contender at the highest level of admissions. I keep the material fresh and memorable through a variety of audiovisual approaches and real-world examples. One-on-one learning should never mean lectures, and I like...

...even as a full-time professor, I find myself enjoying the experience of tutoring and helping students on an individual level enough to continue doing it. With a background in the sciences and mathematics, and a graduate degree in philosophy I'm incredibly well-rounded in terms of what I'm capable of teaching and moreover, have a generally positive pedagogical approach to everything; I really do love teaching. Even fields in which I have little experience become a...

...order. And so, I began to learn what my teachers throughout schooling had implicitly taught me: listening to and building relationships with students is perhaps the most essential tool in a teacher's arsenal. Throughout my time at Brown, I lent my ear to various different teaching opportunities, learning to know when to lead, and when to step back and be led. As a tutor with Brown Refugee Youth Tutoring and Enrichment, I met with Yonas,...

...UCLA graduate and I double majored in German and Philosophy. I graduated with departmental honors for both of my majors, as well as college honors. I also studied at Humboldt Universitt Berlin. While my majors seem very niche, they helped me develop great argumentative writing skills as well as an attention to detail. I am also currently applying to law schools. I consider myself a very warm and inviting person, and have a very interactive...
