Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Samuel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions

By 11th grade, students encounter more complex grammar that builds on earlier foundations—subjunctive mood (Konjunktiv I and II), passive voice constructions, and advanced case usage in subordinate clauses are common stumbling blocks. Many students also struggle with the distinction between when to use subjunctive for reported speech versus conditional statements, and managing multiple cases simultaneously in sentences with prepositional phrases. A tutor can break down these concepts with targeted examples and help students recognize patterns rather than memorizing isolated rules.

In a typical classroom, individual speaking time is minimal—students might speak for just a few minutes per class period. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, you get sustained conversation practice where a tutor can adjust difficulty in real time, correct pronunciation and grammar naturally, and push you to think and respond in German without the pressure of peers listening. Tutors can also tailor conversations to topics relevant to your interests or curriculum, making practice feel purposeful rather than repetitive.

Passive vocabulary lists rarely stick—effective retention comes from using words in context, across multiple modalities (reading, writing, speaking). A tutor can employ spaced repetition strategies, weaving vocabulary into conversations and writing exercises so you encounter words multiple times in meaningful contexts rather than cramming before tests. They can also help you recognize word families and patterns (like how German prefixes change verb meanings), which reduces the memorization burden and builds deeper understanding.

The subjunctive is confusing because it has multiple uses—expressing wishes, reporting speech indirectly, and hypothetical situations—and each use has slightly different conjugation patterns. English speakers especially struggle because English subjunctive is nearly extinct, so there's no intuitive parallel. A tutor can isolate each subjunctive function separately, use plenty of real-world examples (like news reports using Konjunktiv I), and help you recognize which context signals which subjunctive form, turning abstract grammar into recognizable patterns.

Language exists within culture—understanding German communication styles, idioms, and cultural references makes the language stick better and helps you sound more natural. For example, knowing that German directness in communication is culturally valued (not rude) helps you understand why certain phrases are phrased the way they are. A tutor can weave cultural context into lessons through authentic materials like German news, films, or literature, helping you grasp not just what words mean, but why Germans use them the way they do.

German pronunciation has specific rules—the guttural 'ch' sound, the distinction between long and short vowels, and proper stress patterns—that differ significantly from English. Without feedback, students often default to English sound patterns and don't realize it. A tutor can model correct pronunciation, identify which specific sounds you're mispronouncing, and give you targeted practice with immediate correction. Over time, this builds muscle memory and confidence, especially for sounds like 'ü' and 'ö' that don't exist in English.

11th graders are typically ready for simplified novels, short stories, and authentic articles (with some scaffolding), but jumping straight to unmodified German literature often causes frustration. A tutor can select materials at the right difficulty level and teach you strategies like identifying cognates, using context clues, and recognizing grammatical structures to decode meaning without translating every word. They can also help you move from simplified readers toward more authentic texts gradually, building confidence and real comprehension skills.

Tests like AP German or CEFR-aligned exams assess all four skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—and require strategic preparation beyond classroom study. A tutor can diagnose which skills need the most work, provide targeted practice with past exam questions, teach test-specific strategies (like skimming for main ideas in reading sections), and simulate speaking sections so you're comfortable with the format and pacing. This focused approach is far more efficient than generic test prep.
