I find it rewarding to help students overcome many of the same challenges and hurtles that I and my peers overcame. Tutoring is a way for me to repay a debt I feel I owe to my own teachers by helping others succeed where my teachers helped me succeed. Education is necessary for personal growth and human flourishing as a whole, and I...

I moved to the U.S. from Germany ten years ago. I am currently finishing my degree in Critical Language and International Studies in German along with a Translation Certificate. While going to school, I started teaching children and adults of all ages in German conversation and grammar. I enjoy teaching, and I'm always ready to take on a new challenge.

...challenging projects, creating self-work, collaborating with others, or continuing in academic atmospheres--none of them are mutually exclusive. I have worked internationally and with students of different languages in various topics, including groups of people from different cultures and speaking different languages simultaneously, acting as a liaison and collaborator encouraging interaction and creation.

...and molding the content around them is the key to good teaching. Helping students to see and to use their own strengths is the least mentioned part of the equation, but for me it is the most important, because that is how I get my kids to become autonomous and self-motivated learners. I've always seen it as a challenging job, but also as enriching, enlightening, and awesome (and I mean awesome in the strongest sense...

...preparing for a test, revising their writing, or simply practicing their conversational skills. I especially enjoy helping students with the early stages of non-L1 language acquisition (in either English, Spanish, or German). Something about this stage in the process of learning a language is especially stimulating and fun. The learning curve is steep, and I get to find out a students' particular ways of acquiring a language. Outside of class, I like hiking around the...

...Spain, Italy, and Germany. While I tutor many subjects, I am most passionate about Math, German, and standardized test prep. I believe we learn the best (and the most) when we can have fun, and I look for ways to engage students with material - especially Math - in fun and silly ways. When I'm not working, I spend my time dancing, reading, meditating, and looking for inexpensive opportunities to travel to new places.
