'Every new language is like an open window that shows a new view of the world and expands your attitude towards life.'Jede neue Sprache ist wie ein offenes Fenster, das einen neuen Ausblick auf die Welt eroeffnet und die Lebensauffassung weitet. This quote by Frank Harris sums up why I feel it is important to learn foreign languages. I believe that everybody is capable to learn a foreign language. I am passionate about teaching German, the language and the culture. I have a strong desire to help students to reach their fullest potential. I am adaptable to different needs and skill levels, I don't think 'one size fits all' methods are much help. A student-centered approach seems most useful and effective.I am an experienced tutor and native speaker from Vienna, Austria. I started tutoring more than ten years ago, when both our sons were little. I have worked with young children, school-aged children and adults and I am always trying to incorporate materials that are relevant for my clients. Besides language learning materials I used literature, magazines, cook books, opera, audio-books, dvds and nursery rhymes for the youngest ones. I am known to be very patient and intuitively get a feeling if clients truely understand concepts. I gladly reapeat difficult concepts to foster a better understanding.I am a graduate of the School of Social Work, Vienna, Austria. I always loved traveling, learning foreign languages and cultures. I live in Chicago since 1999. Currently I am persuing a masters degree in social work at Erikson Institute, Chicago.

I graduated, with Honors, from Beloit College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. Under the mentorship of a Psychology professor, I designed and completed a minor in Pediatric Behavioral Medicine.After graduation, I worked at the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois Volunteer Support Coordinator.A short time time later, after my summer wedding, I left in order to pursue graduate studies. I received a Master of Science in Child Development with a Specialization in Infancy from Erikson Institute. While working on my M.A., I volunteered as an after school tutor for Brain Boosters.After receiving my M.S., I accepted an offer to become Director of Brain Boosters. My position allowed me to work directly and indirectly with students ages 5-12. Also, I educated and supported all of our college-age and adult tutors. During my time as Director, I gave birth to two boys.After the birth of my second son, I pursued and obtained my licensure in Pediatric Developmental Therapy for the State of Illinois Early Intervention Program.For the past twelve years I maintained my DT credentials and received my licensure in Pediatric Developmental Therapy Evaluation for the State of Illinois Early Intervention Program. Shortly after becoming a certified evaluator, I gave birth to my daughter.Several years ago, the needs of my three children required for me to have a more flexible schedule. I reduced my DT schedule and accepted a tutoring job with VIPKID.Presently, I am tutoring native Chinese children ranging in age from 3-16. The main focus of the program is teaching English reading, writing and speaking. Additionally, I obtained certifications that allow me to teach advanced grammar, public speaking, writing, science and phonetic awareness.When not working I enjoy spending time with my husband, three children and our dog. However, the job of motherhood is quite a lot of work.I am a lifelong learner and teacher. I believe that everyone has the capacity to learn. I quickly and easily adjust to meet the needs of each individual student and bring patience to each lesson. I see my job of tutoring as being one of scaffolding and support.Additionally, I believe that students learn best in a fun environment that balances accomplishment and effort.I am confident that working together will help you to reach your learning goals.

I have been an early childhood educator for 25 years, with a degree in early childhood education and development. I am also just personally a good test taker. I would love to help your child prepare for kindergarten with personalized lessons based on their goals and interests. I can also help your elementary school student with homework.

Hi there! My name is [Ms] Genesis and I am here to help you get the most out of education. I have a passion for teaching in a way that meets the student right where they are at! I will discover how you learn best and cater to that style of learning.

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 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 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'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.
