Edward
Accounting Tutor • +5 Subjects
I completed my Bachelor in Business with a concentration in Accounting from DeVry University. My plan is to start pursuing a MBA with a concentration in Finance later this year. I enjoy playing chess and golf. I am very competitive at both although I have been humbled more than a few times. I like to add fun and humor in just about every situation, when appropriate. Combine those traits with learning and we have creative platform for an exceptional learning environment.My tutoring strategy is to make learning fun and take the fright out of accounting. I want students to be able to use appropriate formulas when working problems. In addition, I like to show how this can be accomplished using Microsoft Excel. It is safe to say that by far, my favorite subjects are accounting and finance. I love to help individuals with accounting because I have learned it is more research and placement than it is math. In addition, I love solving problems. I am a critical thinker, therefore, I challenge others to use their analytical side of the brain more.My motto is "each one can reach one". Someone helped me and I owe it to them and myself to help others. We must remember to "pay it forward" whenever given the opportunity.
Vicky
College English Tutor • +12 Subjects
I am a graduate of Dowling College which is located in Oakdale, New York. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English and my Master of Science in Secondary Education. During my time at Dowling, I volunteered as a tutor for academically challenged students. I am also a volunteer for Suffolk Literacy where I work with adults on Long Island who are looking to improve their reading or English speaking skills. In my experience as a tutor, I've always tried to make lessons engaging and fun for my students. I believe that students learn best when they experience knowledge for themselves, while receiving guidance and encouragement from their teacher. I truly enjoy tutoring and want to help my students achieve academic success. I'm especially passionate about helping struggling readers. If a child has difficulty deciphering words and sentences, how can he/she be expected to grasp math, science, and social concepts presented in school? Good reading skills are important for excelling in school and succeeding in life. I am a strong advocate of the importance of education and believe it is one of the most significant messages we should impart to children and young adults. In my spare time I enjoy reading, running, bird watching, and old movie classics.

Ahmed
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +23 Subjects
Since I began tutoring 8 years at the beginning of high school, I had not realized that a job that I had initially taken to help pay for the luxuries that my parents could not afford would become one of the brightest and meaningful opportunities I would ever be a part of. At Kumon, I worked with hundreds of students who were challenged with mastering the subjects they were expected to learn and challenged with material they were yet to know; it was both difficult and satisfying to see students struggling with a subject develop over time. Most of the jobs I have worked since then have allowed me to watch kids from elementary to high school grow over the course of years, and I have done my best to make sure they develop a capacity and enjoyment of learning. Even as a graduate of chemistry, I continue to tutor because it is one of, if not the most, impactful way to positively affect the younger generation, and I am glad to be a part of their growth,

Didier
Conversational French Tutor • +6 Subjects
Being a part of someone success is the main reason I decided to be a French tutor. Indeed, after finishing my studies in Ivory Coast where I earned a Bachelor degree in Business Law, I had the opportunity to teach French for a year and half. It was a great experience, for I got to share all my knowledge with amazing students who were happy and excited to learn French. Also, I lived in France for two (2) years, which made me fall even more in love with French and reinforced the fact I wanted to be a teacher. I moved to the US four (4) years ago and I am currently working on a second Bachelor in Communication. Furthermore, I learned that the best way to teach someone is always by communicating and listening. I always like to let my students express themselves in order to find out their learning style. Finally, I am easy going and I love traveling, reading, listening to music, and sometimes hanging out with friends.
Austin
A Beginner's Guide: Excel Tutor • +35 Subjects
I'm passionate about helping students because I enjoy mathematics and like to put my interest to good use. I tutored middle and high schoolers during my four years of high school, helped students go over tests in calculus, and taught tricks for mental math as captain of the Math UIL Number Sense team my junior and senior years of high school. I graduated from Cypress Ranch High School in 2020 and am currently pursuing a Mathematics degree and Computer Science Certificate at the University of Texas at Austin. I tutor many types of math, and I enjoy them all equally because I like the tricks that can be used in each subject. I approach tutoring as a way to get to know the student and help them where they need it. I like to use icebreakers to make them feel more comfortable, then understand their approach to solving problems and figure out how I can help.

Frequently Asked Questions
German literature presents several common obstacles for students. Understanding dense philosophical texts and complex sentence structures—German sentences often build meaning across multiple clauses—requires careful analysis. Many students struggle with historical and cultural context necessary to appreciate works by Goethe, Kafka, or Brecht. Additionally, reading in German while simultaneously analyzing literary themes demands significant vocabulary knowledge and grammatical understanding. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students break down difficult passages, build relevant vocabulary, and develop strategies for engaging with challenging texts at their own pace.
The best German literature tutors combine native or near-native fluency with deep knowledge of German literary history, major movements (Romanticism, Expressionism, etc.), and key authors. They should be able to explain cultural and historical contexts that shape understanding of texts, guide close reading analysis, and help students develop critical thinking skills specific to literary study. Look for tutors who can bridge language instruction with literary analysis—someone who understands that studying German literature strengthens both your language skills and analytical abilities simultaneously.
Personalized instruction allows tutors to work with you on passages that confuse you most, explaining sentence structure, idiomatic expressions, and cultural references that impact meaning. Tutors can teach you active reading strategies specific to German literature—like identifying key themes, tracking character development, and recognizing literary devices. They can also provide historical and biographical context that illuminates why authors made specific choices. This targeted approach is far more effective than classroom instruction, where teachers must move at a pace that serves thirty students rather than focusing on your specific comprehension gaps.
You don't need to be a grammar expert, but understanding key grammatical structures helps tremendously when analyzing literature. German's cases, complex verb forms, and sentence construction directly affect how meaning is created and conveyed in texts. A good tutor helps you understand grammar not as abstract rules, but as tools authors use for stylistic effect. For example, understanding how word order shifts meaning helps you appreciate Kafka's unconventional syntax or recognize when an author deliberately breaks grammatical conventions for emphasis. Tutors can address grammar questions as they naturally arise during close reading, making the learning feel relevant and purposeful.
Absolutely. One major advantage of personalized 1-on-1 instruction is sustained conversation practice unavailable in typical classroom settings. Tutors can engage you in meaningful discussions about texts, ask probing analytical questions, and help you articulate literary interpretations in German. This develops both your conversational fluency and your ability to use academic language for literary analysis. Discussing themes, character motivations, and authorial intent gives you purposeful speaking practice with immediate feedback on your language use—something that strengthens both your German skills and your critical thinking simultaneously.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors experienced in various German literature curricula and standards, whether you're preparing for AP German Literature exams, International Baccalaureate coursework, or college-level seminars. Tutors can align their instruction with your specific course requirements and the texts your teacher assigns. They help you master required works, understand literary analysis frameworks your course emphasizes, and develop strong essay and discussion skills aligned with your curriculum's expectations. If you're studying particular authors or periods—whether Weimar-era modernism or contemporary German writers—your tutor can build expertise in those areas to support your coursework.
With consistent personalized instruction, students typically develop stronger reading comprehension skills, deeper appreciation for German literary traditions and authors, and more confident analytical writing about texts. Many students see improved grades on essays and exams as they learn to construct stronger literary arguments. Beyond academics, many find their overall German language skills—vocabulary, grammar understanding, and reading fluency—improve significantly through engaging with literature at a sophisticated level. Students often develop genuine enthusiasm for German authors and cultural traditions they previously found intimidating, making literature study feel rewarding rather than burdensome.
