I have been tutoring students of all ages since my junior year of high school, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to continue to do so. I feel comfortable tutoring an array of subjects, particularly the various levels of psychology, English, German, and writing, but algebra and statistics have wormed their way into my heart over the years!My particular style of tutoring is unique, most likely to due to my sense of humor. Even someone's least favorite subject does not have to be a bore, and I quite enjoy taking some of the pressure off by being lighthearted and enthusiastic. As long as the student feels comfortable with the progress he or she is making, that's all that matters. I will never define what is successful for my students, I always adhere to how they define their own success. As far as I'm concerned, we're a team, and I'm happy to do what it takes to help them meet their goals.As a graduate of Sewickley Academy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio, I currently possess a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I am currently attending Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore in pursuit of a Masters of Science degree in Clinical Psychology, where I am conducting original research in the areas of parental psychological control and somatic symptoms in young adults. Needless to say, this means there is quite a lot of psychology in my life, so while I am happy to assist others with their psychology classes, tutoring gives me a chance to take a break from it all and indulge myself in the other subjects I love!Outside of what must sound like an incredibly academic life, I do find time to entertain myself. I love going to museums and am definitely interested in some recommendations for the must-see museums in Baltimore. I'm a huge theatre lover, and I sometimes dabble in acting when I have time. I absolutely love doing voices and accents when I tell stories. If laser-pointering with my cat were an Olympic sport, I would certainly qualify. I'm an admirer of film and television as art forms, which is a fancy way of saying I like great movies and TV shows. Eating something delicious while reading a good book is my preferred method of relaxation, although it makes me wish I had more than two hands and two eyes. That's me in a nutshell!

Learning a foreign language is one of the most rewarding and difficult challenges you can take. I use my extensive theoretical and personal knowledge of language acquisition and my understanding of learner profiles to help my learners reach their goals.

I am a graduate of Bates College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Classical and Medieval Studies before pursuing classics at the University of Pennsylvania in their Post Baccalaureate in Classical Studies program. Since then, I have studied intensive German at the Goethe Institute in Berlin, and received my MSc in Palaeopathology from Durham University in the UK. In addition to this, I am a certified TEFL instructor. I tutor a variety of subjects, but I am the most passionate about reading, writing and history. I am also very passionate about Latin and other languages. I consider myself to be a lifelong learner, and I pursue new subjects with the goal of enriching my life and reaching my full potential. I enjoy trying out new things, and have a passion for ballroom dancing, fencing, and yoga. I am also beginning to practice Aikido. Another great passion of mine is traveling to foreign countries and experiencing new and exciting cultures.

From the age of 7 or 8 I have always had a lot of curiosity about other people and cultures and find hearing other people talk about themselves much more interesting than me talking about myself! Learning a foreign language and speaking it with native people, especially in their own countries is really thrilling. It opens up a side of ourselves that was previously unexplored and broadens our understanding of people outside our normal circle of family and friends. As a tutor I want to ensure that students are able to clearly articulate their goals, however practical or ambitious and ensure that they overcome any barriers achieving their stated goals. I have a BA in French and Spanish from the University of Wales in the UK with a Distinction oral proficiency in Spanish. I also have passed the French final oral (Part 1) exam at the Institute of Linguists. I am keen to help all types of students advance and accomplish their goals.

Hallo, Guten Tag, Bonjour, Hola, Bom dia and Hello!I am an instructor of German and English as a Second Language (ESL) at Indiana State University, where I work part-time. I teach on campus German elementary and intermediate German classes and all levels of ESL writing classes, as well as summer language and ESL writing classes. As an instructor of the lower level German classes, my goal is to introduce the German language to students through culture, and to show new language learners the joys and possibilities that come with learning a new language. On the intermediate and advanced level, the focus is on teaching language through culture, as well. At the higher levels the focus is also on working on each of the four skills, reading, speaking, writing and reading, more intensively. I teach German and ESL, because I grew up learning foreign languages, and find that knowing at least one foreign language should be everybody's life goal! I've walked (and still am) many miles in a language learners shoes, and it has been a fun walk. I want to share my experience and expertise with YOU! I truly believe that everyone can learn a foreign language.Originally from Dsseldorf, Germany, I am now in my third year teaching German at Indiana State University. I am an ISU alum, having earned my M.A. in Language Studies/TESL with an emphasis on teaching German and ESL at ISU in 2014. I have a B.A. from the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, where I double-majored in Anglophone Studies and French Language and Culture. In addition to teaching German, I teach ESL writing courses for international students at ISU.Personal language and culture experience: My language and cultural exchange experience is extensive. I began learning English in 5th grade and French in 7th grade. My life has become truly international at age 16, when I first spent time abroad during high school, and later in college. I spent my time mostly in the U.S., and the French-speaking part of Switzerland. I know bits and pieces of other languages, such as Spanish (of course!), Portuguese, and I have fun deciphering Dutch and Danish, because it is so close to German. In the U.S., I have lived in California, Kansas, Washington D.C., Colorado and Indiana.In my free time, I like to travel, be it overseas or just taking a quick trip to Bloomington or any of the other cities in close proximity. I love to discover new music, magazines (all languages!) and books and have been on sports teams all my life. Before college I rode horses for as long as I can think and ran track and cross-country. Lately I have been keeping active and balanced doing Crossfit. I've never tried yoga, but really want to; it is the very next item on the to-do list.

I studied at the University of North Florida and Valencia College. I have always been passionate about other languages and cultures, and so I decided to participate in a study abroad experience in Germany through UNF. I started learning German about two years ago, continued to study the language through college, and eventually lived in Germany for almost a year altogether. I reached fluency within 3 months, to the point where I was able to understand and communicate in German quite effectively, and continued to build upon that in the months after. I have experience helping people through the language learning process. Outside of school, I enjoy going out with friends and playing my guitar. I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you through your language courses!

I have a passion for learning and assisting others learn. I believe that the ability to guide someone else as they learn is one of the most rewarding skills one can have. I am a recent graduate from UW-Whitewater where I double majored in History and Political Science and Minored in German. Throughout the last three years of my undergraduate career I worked for the on-campus tutoring service. During this time I was a supplemental instructor for Historical Perspectives and College Literacy. I believe that tutoring is truly the most effective method by which to master subjects that are difficult. I understand the challenges that come with learning, I struggled with many of them myself. It is through hard work, determination and a little help that these challenges can be overcome.

I recently graduated from Fordham University with a bachelor of arts in economics and philosophy. While in college, I enrolled in a wide variety of courses and received an extensive interdisciplinary education. My experience at Fordham demonstrated firsthand the value education has in helping people understand difficult concepts and grasp the connections between ideas from different academic subjects. As a tutor, I strive to help students attain comprehension and learn how to approach subjects that may seem daunting at first. During my time as an undergraduate, I volunteered as a tutor for middle school students as part of a joint athletic and academic after school program. I am most passionate about helping people learn history, social sciences, and mathematics. I also assist with standardized test prep, primarily with the Reading and Writing sections of the exams. In my spare time, I enjoy photography, hiking and other outdoor activities, and reading about philosophy, evolutionary biology, and human history.

I am a lifelong learner with an academic background in language and literature, and, before that, in mathematics. I pride myself on having strong problem-solving skills, a can-do attitude, and the ability to share what I know with others.Beyond being just a good test-taker, a tutor must also be able to articulate robust reasons for favoring a specific approach to finding the answer or solution to a problem. A good instructor can make these reasons intelligible and abstract from them lessons that students can then apply independently. Since there are usually at least two ways of finding the right answer to a multiple-choice problem, it is important to be able to provide in-depth, theoretical solutions for those who want to go into the nitty-gritty, but also to solve problems using surface strategies for excluding wrong answers for students who, for instance, are more interested in 'surviving' the quantitative section rather than 'acing' it. Different students are likely to want different outcomes from their tests, and these goals and expectations should be determined in advance.As a tutor, I want to share my passion for problem-solving with others and foster an open, positive attitude about standardized tests. Attitude is very important a student who is open and confident about being able to solve the problem, even if not initially exactly sure how, might be closer to the right answer than one who actually knows how, but who has to first overcome a threshold of intimidation before being able to start thinking about the question itself. Part of the tutor's job is to make the tests less daunting and more approachable. I will give students not just the information they need to solve a problem, but also the confidence that they can dependably answer others like it in the future. Minimizing students' bafflement in encounters with math or complicated verbal reasoning questions, and replacing it with a spirit of 'you got this' is part of a successful tutoring experience.I see no better tool for intellectual exploration than guided conversation. Learning is best framed as dialogue, not as a one way-communication. A conversation can help students identify their strengths and weaknesses, and find out how to direct their efforts to improve. Self-knowledge equates with self-reliance, and a proficient test-taker is ultimately an independent thinker who can recognize the applicability of strategies that she has learned beforehand, and apply them without needing input or confirmation from a tutor.Like the teachers who have inspired me to internalize the critical mindset and quick response needed to become a proficient test-taker, I am confident that I have a good body of knowledge to impart, and welcome the opportunity to provide others with the kind of guidance which I myself have benefitted from.

I am currently a 4th year student at the University of Virginia pursuing a double major in Economics and German Literature and Linguistics. I studied at Humboldt Universitt zu Berlin for two years while living in Berlin, Germany, specializing in courses such as Marketing of Innovations, Economics of Entrepreneurship, and Entrepreneurial Decision Making. I am currently very passionate about pursuing a career working with children and young adults, either mentoring or teaching, and my experiences volunteering with refugees in Berlin sparked within me a passion for this career path. I am very well versed in writing, reading comprehension, 2-D and 3-D art (digital and traditional), languages, and math up to Calculus I. I have several years of experience tutoring students in both SAT and ACT prep, as well as in English and German for non-native speakers. Some of my areas of interests include being outdoors, cooking new cuisines, reading German and English literature and books, drawing and painting, taking road trips, traveling across Europe, and listening to music.
