Amber majored in German at Northwestern, which means she didn't just study the language — she read novels, wrote research papers, and debated in it. She teaches grammar concepts like case endings and word order through pattern recognition, showing students the underlying logic so they can construct sentences on their own instead of relying on memorization tables.

Between her Northwestern coursework and studies in German-language opera repertoire — from Mozart to Strauss — Ilana developed a working fluency that goes beyond classroom German. She tackles tricky grammar concepts like case endings and separable verbs by connecting them to patterns students already recognize, making the logic of German sentence structure feel less foreign. Rated 5.0 by students.

German's case system and word-order rules intimidate a lot of learners, but Elise approaches them as a linguist — explaining the underlying logic of accusative versus dative, or why the verb jumps to the end in subordinate clauses. Her coursework through German 4 means she can take students from basic declensions all the way through complex literary and academic texts.

Kathryn's engineering background means she approaches German the same way she approaches a technical problem — by identifying the underlying structure first. She zeroes in on verb placement rules and sentence architecture, treating German's rigid syntax as a system to decode rather than a list of exceptions to memorize. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having lived in Germany for a year and studied German diction as part of his vocal performance training, Andrew brings both textbook grammar and real-world fluency to the language. He's especially strong on the pronunciation challenges that trip up English speakers — vowel length, umlauts, the ch sounds — because his ear is trained to hear and correct subtle phonetic differences. His systematic approach to cases, verb conjugation, and sentence structure gives students a framework they can build on at every level.

German's case system and word order rules intimidate a lot of new learners, but Beth earned her bachelor's degree in the language and knows exactly where students tend to get tangled — dative prepositions, adjective endings, subordinate clause structure. She unpacks the underlying logic of German grammar so each new rule feels like an extension of something already learned rather than another item to memorize.

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 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 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 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!
