German's case system — nominative, accusative, dative, genitive — trips up nearly every English speaker learning the language. Jamison teaches across all four levels of German and unpacks these grammar patterns by connecting them to sentence logic, so students internalize the rules instead of just memorizing tables.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am excited to be home and help fellow straphangers on their educational paths! My largest wealth of tutoring experience is in foreign languages--particularly French--but I also feel very comfortable editing essays of any kind and working through standardized test concepts. My availability is extremely flexible, and anywhere in New York City works for me. I look forward to working with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Speaking is one of the most challenging skills to develop in a traditional classroom setting, especially with a 17.6:1 student-teacher ratio like Phoenix's average. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction with a German tutor gives you dedicated conversation practice and immediate feedback on pronunciation and grammar in real-time. A tutor can tailor conversations to your interests and proficiency level, helping you build confidence and fluency much faster than classroom instruction alone.
German verbs change based on subject, tense, and mood—and irregular verbs don't follow predictable patterns. This complexity often frustrates learners because English has much simpler conjugation rules. A tutor can break down conjugation patterns into manageable chunks, show you which verbs are irregular, and give you targeted practice so the patterns become automatic rather than something you have to think through every time.
Vocabulary sticks best when you use it in context and across multiple sessions—a principle called spaced repetition. Rather than memorizing lists, a tutor helps you learn words through conversation, reading, and writing exercises tailored to topics you care about. They can also help you understand word families and patterns (like how German nouns are gendered), which makes vocabulary learning more systematic and memorable.
Yes. Whether you're in a Phoenix public school, charter, or private institution, a tutor can align instruction with your specific curriculum, textbooks, and learning goals. They can help you prepare for tests, catch up on grammar concepts you missed, or accelerate ahead if you're progressing faster than classwork allows. This personalized approach ensures tutoring complements what you're learning in class.
Listening comprehension requires exposure to natural German speech at varying speeds and accents. A tutor can speak with you directly, use authentic audio materials (podcasts, news, films), and adjust their pace based on your level. They'll help you pick out key words, understand context clues, and gradually build your ability to follow conversations and media—skills that classroom lessons often don't have time to develop thoroughly.
Language and culture are inseparable. Understanding German customs, traditions, and communication styles helps you use the language more naturally and appreciate nuances that pure grammar instruction misses. A tutor can weave cultural insights into lessons—explaining why certain phrases are used, how formality works in German society, or connecting you to German media and literature. This deeper context makes learning more engaging and meaningful.
Absolutely. Reading and writing reinforce each other and strengthen your overall language foundation. A tutor can have you read authentic German texts at your level, discuss them, and write responses or essays with detailed feedback on grammar, structure, and style. This balanced approach ensures you're developing all four language skills—reading, writing, speaking, and listening—not just the ones emphasized in your classroom.
Your first session is an assessment and goal-setting conversation. The tutor will evaluate your current level across all four skills, understand what you're studying in school (if applicable), and learn about your learning style and goals—whether that's passing a class, preparing for the AP exam, or achieving conversational fluency. From there, they'll create a personalized plan that addresses your specific challenges and builds on your strengths.
