Award-Winning German Tutors in Youngstown, OH

I am in a constant state of learning. I try to absorb as much information as I can and then pass on what I've learned to others. I try to get them to feel my passion about learning about a subject and to help them get excited.

I am originally from Kansas City, but now I teach Spanish and German at Pattonville High School in St. Louis. As a teacher, the experience I have from working with students of many backgrounds and abilities affords me many skills as a tutor. I studied abroad in Mexico and Germany while in college and developed a passion for languages and traveling. I spent this past summer backpacking through many countries in Europe and I also...

I like helping people learn about their world, especially about language. Having become fluent in both German and French as an adult, I understand the daily challenges (and the fun!) of learning a language. An alumna of Smith College, I spent several years in Germany and France as a university student (studying art history and French culture). Simply put, I enjoy exploring languagelearning the nuances of vocabulary, grammar, and phonetics. And, as I often tell...

...level Music Theory and Keyboard Harmony courses over multiple semesters, I am also happy to teach musical interpretation and theoretically informed performance practice. In the near future I plan to return to formal studies in the field of Linguistics to earn a Doctorate, and in the interim I have begun teaching myself computer science and programming languages. In this modern technocentric world, I hope to study the meeting of these two fields.

...concept or problem is made totally worthwhile when the student then says, "Ok, let me do this next one on my own. I've got this." That's when I know knowledge has truly been shared, and that both the student and I have done our jobs. When I'm not tutoring, I love to be outside! You can find me either running on the beach in the summer or snowboarding on the slopes in the winter. On...

Many times when people come and ask you a question, they seem to wait there expecting you to finish their train of thought. Now, I have known many mind readers and none are as articulate as those that claim to read your mind and tell you the answer. No, I believe people need to see a reasoning involved in coming to the answer. While animals may reflect their instinctual urges, the reasoning power of thought...

I have been tutoring for over five years and have come to love helping kids learn. I am a friendly recent college graduate who likes to make learning fun. When tutoring, I look for ways to relate the material to one of your child's interests, to better ensure he/she retains the material. Part of my method includes instructing students on how to properly study. For example, I advise them on how to make comprehensive study...

...the significance of learning. I am someone who wants everything out of life. Our time here is finite, and there is nothing more disappointing to think of than not pursuing each and every goal like your life depends on it. As a music fan, I am always trying to discover new tastes. I have played guitar for over ten years, it's an amazing exercise in creativity and skill. I also make it a point to...

It goes without saying that being an effective tutor requires a firm grasp of the subject and the ability to explain complex ideas in clear and intuitive ways. However, as I have learned during my years of tutoring experience, a good educator also needs to have the ability to engage pupils and to give them the tools that they need to succeed on their own.
