About Me

Since then (August 2013), I have consistently been working in German speaking educational environments and workplaces. I have worked as a German language Summer camp instructor for ages 4-10, as an assistant teacher for German language after-school programs for ages 5-12, as a lead teacher for the same program, as a tutor for college aged students, as an adult German language tutor at a German language institute, and as a paraprofessional at a German language school. I have gained a wide variety of experiences as a language tutor in a variety of different settings and with a variety of different learning styles. I am equipped to work with any level or age learner on any language based need in both German and English. Personally, I find the structures and histories of languages fascinating and took a year of Greek at the University and self-taught a semester of Latin to learn more about it. Currently, I am also studying Spanish and Ojibwa. Thus, I am well prepared and excited to help with problems related to grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure, writing skills, and reading comprehension. As a tutor, I want you, the student, to be as excited about language as I am, and so I am dedicated to finding that part of language or that expression of language that will fascinate you, whether it be poetry, song lyrics, etymology, or whatever, and incorporating that into our lessons.

Hobbies & Interests

Books, books, and more books. I am a book collector and an avid reader of all kinds of books. In Literature, I currently like Walser and Buechner; in Philosophy Spinoza; in History, Foucault and Deleuze; in Poetry, Rilke.
