...ages, from 3rd grade to senior citizen, in both school and tutoring settings. I tutor a wide range of subjects (English, French, German, Spanish), but what links them all is language as a tool for connection and personal growth. Learning someone else's language shows that you respect their culture and want to understand it. At the same time, learning a new language can lead to insights about your own language and culture. When tutoring, I...

...math, German, SHSAT, and SAT. I believe that I have good communication and pedagogical skills, and a firm understanding of the subject matter. Having come from Germany at the age of eleven, I know the frustration that can come with feeling overwhelmed by coursework. I performed well on standardized exams like the SHSAT and the SAT and can teach test-taking skills that will ultimately lead students to institutions like Stuyvesant H.S. and Columbia.... Patience is key. On the first few tries it's normal to get a question wrong, or to take a long time. Repetition and endurance will get you to a point where it'll come fast and easy.
