Award-Winning German Tutors serving Westchester, NY

...one language, it's easier to learn another, once you start understanding the underlying rules of grammar that link all languages. I've also traveled a lot, and have lived for chunks of time in most of the countries whose language I speak. Language is not only a form of communication, it's about culture. That understanding of culture I could bring to the student I'm tutoring, to give them more depth of knowledge of the language. I've...

...courses and received an extensive interdisciplinary education. My experience at Fordham demonstrated firsthand the value education 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...

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

...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 games, and (as one savvy enough to recognize from my greeting above might guess) a nascent computer programmer. I'm currently enrolled in CS50x, an online version of the Intro to Computer Science course taught at Harvard and Yale, and I'm really digging it.

...foreign graduate students in order to improve their English and bolster their familiarity with American culture 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....

...and trained him throughout the process on an individual basis although I have no formal training in this field. I have knowledge of the PSAT and SAT as I took both as part of my college application process. Furthermore, I followed the SAT prep tests online but also took personalized courses to prepare further for the exams. While in college, my love for teaching and assisting other students did not stop. I became a Peer...

...and what doesn't. In tutoring, I focus on results, but not to exclusion. I want to provide the student with a meaningful experience. That is to say, I aim to cultivate an appreciation for math, science, and/or the humanities that will last into college and their career. Unwilling to compromise my love for language or my affinity for math and problem solving, I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Computational Linguistics, the interface between...

...would like to show my students that it can be fun, rewarding and interesting to immerse 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...

...Italian, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Computer Science and Calculus I. My favorite subject to tutor is Calculus, due to the fact that it has a fearsome reputation for students. Calculus, just like many other difficult problems, can be easily split into easier problems that are more manageable. Whenever I'm not working or studying, I enjoy going to the gym, learning new things, and doing martial arts. I have a certificate of completion of Phase A...

...I can teach all these subjects from a beginner's level to a college/university level. Surprisingly, although my educational background is very science-intense, I enjoy teaching English writing and composition the most! I like teaching students how to find their voice in writing and I think that writing is one of the most important life skills you will use, no matter what field you go into. My philosophy in teaching is that each student can master...

...with the help of an older sister who was studying it in college. (Thanks, Sis!) As a graduate student, my advisor asked me to teach a year-long course in electronic music, a subject 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...

...After finishing my degree, I moved to France and worked at the Chateau of Versailles and the Louvre Museum. I went on to receive my M.A. in art history at the University College London while working at the Tate Modern. My main subject of study has been the way that art and law intersect regarding concerns over originality. I am starting law school this fall in the hopes of one day addressing those concerns as...

...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...

...and Physics. I really enjoy working with students and teaching- I hope to teach as a professor in the future. I believe learning is something not solely for grades and achievements, but for developing oneself in thought, ability to follow through, and improving one's self esteem. I am hoping to help out as best I can with your needs, and hope to help you see where in your thought process you can improve/reevaluate. I'm pretty...

...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...

...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 to hold an ongoing conversation so students use their own learning skills in new ways to solve new kinds of problems. My creative experience in film-making allows me to guide interested students through extracurricular courses in film production and editing, and my musical...

...teaching. Even fields in which I have little experience become a contest with myself to master solely for the sake of helping a student. I have extensive experience in reading, writing, and editing (I've been published several times over as both head author and editor) and its something that I truly love to do. I currently hold three Undergraduate degrees in Mathematics, Physics, and Linguistics, as well as two Graduate degrees in Philosophy and Theology....

...narrative that would help him succeed. He got that scholarship, and the essay he wrote, though informed by conversations with me, was all his: it was his story, his words, and his voice. Later, I taught German to sleepy undergrads. In the classroom with twelve students, I balanced teaching a lesson at the front of the classroom with walking through the desks, observing, questioning, and facilitating conversation. In my weekly office hours, I sat one-on-one...

...is Willow. I am a recent 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...
