Award-Winning German Tutors in Seattle, WA

I am a Seattle-based actress and singer originally from Illinois -- I moved to the Seattle area in 2000. I also work part-time at a non-profit guardianship firm downtown. (We look out for the financial and healthcare needs of the elderly and the physically and mentally disabled.) I am an anglophile and ailurophile (look them up! :-)), and I love theatre, movies, Gonzaga basketball (I went to law school there), and Chicago Cubs baseball.

I have been working with children in schools, daycares, summer programs, and afterschool programs for 13 years. I hope to use my diverse experiences to foster communities of joyful and eager learners.... I believe that each student travels on their own unique path to knowledge. I believe that a teacher is a guide along these paths, walking alongside each student, supporting them where they struggle and guiding them when there is a fork in the road.

...I have spent a fair amount of time abroad in the country doing various administrative internships and completing study abroad programs, but my strong math background has instilled in me a great appreciation for mathematics and the natural sciences. The SAT is a good place to see these two realms of mathematics and liberal arts come together, and because of this, I feel I can be a big help tutoring in the SAT test prep...

I have experience in the military, teaching English in Turkey and I have my B.S in Mechanical Engineering which I used to briefly work in Germany.

...understand just as well what it's like to need that sort of tutoring as well. I understand the importance of a non-judgmental atmosphere in which all questions can be asked without fear, of a friendly and empathetic peer who knows why difficulties arise and how to overcome them, and of a source not just of knowledge, but of help devoted to fostering true understanding unto long-term learning and growth. These I understand because I have...

...an individual who grew up in a low income single parent home, I know first hand what a good education can offer. I am part of the first graduating class of the Partnerships in Unlimited Educational Opportunities Program (PUEO), a nonprofit educational summer program, that awards students-with-potential free college prep courses from sixth grade to their senior year of high school at Punahou School. After my first year of college, I applied and was offered...

...now attend the university I have worked towards, studying something I love. Despite excelling in and enjoying academics, I have chosen an artistic field of study and, eventually, career. This hasn't changed my passion for education, nor has it changed my view that everyone deserves the chance to excel and achieve the level of education they want. I want to help you achieve your academic goals even as I work towards my own.... Students deserve the...

...their favorite food and I would like to share this with you. I made a lot of friends because I was able to communicate and speak the language they speak. I have lived in Germany, Spain, Italy and since 2001 in the USA. My goal is to bring this amazing experience in my classes and make sure that you will not only learn another language, but also explore other cultures. Teaching was always my passion....

...far more successful than doing all of the talking. There's no better way of ensuring that a student understands the material than getting them to put it in their own words! Beyond my passion for learning and teaching I'm a huge sports fan who rarely misses an Ohio State football or basketball game. I also grew up a die-hard Cincinnati Reds fan, and I love engaging in discourse about every and any sport. I also...

In high school, I tackled various AP classes, from calculus to German. In college, I successfully completed two bachelor of science degrees in chemical engineering and applied mathematics. Although my educational background has shaped the subjects I teach, my tutoring experience with multiple college organizations has shaped my teaching methods.

...ability to engage pupils and to give them the tools that they need to succeed on their own. This means not only teaching students the material, but also familiarizing them with effective learning strategies and helping them develop strong study skills--all in a way that is supportive and which capitalizes on their existing strengths. I tutor at the middle school, high school, and college levels. My primary focus is on verbal subjects, including critical reading,...

...each week) as well as for several extracurricular activities. I also offered many students individual help with short- or long-term projects, including college applications. I have been tutoring since I was 11 years old, making long experience one of my greatest advantages as a tutor. My other great advantage is flexibility. I believe that students and tutors are partners who make equal and mutual contributions to the learning process. Tutors have the responsibility to adapt...

I have extensive teaching and tutoring experience from doing after school homework help for elementary age students to tutoring student athletes at the University of Washington.

...club, Kids Corps. This fall, I will begin a PhD program in Immunology at the University of Washington. I've spent extensive time abroad and love to learn and teach language.

I graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in Marketing and Big Data, as well as a minor in Dance. I currently work as software developer. I believe that every person has their own way of learning and processing information. It is my goal to help students by learning their best way of absorbing information so that we can understand the best plan to learn material in a constructive manner.

...help students gain the necessary confidence for succeeding in their studies. As a student who once struggled with math yet eventually went on to pursue a graduate degree in Applied Mathematics, I have a deep understanding for the difficulties students face while studying STEM fields. Through several years of higher education, I have found that solving relevant examples work best for solidifying concepts. This is the primary method I use when teaching, as I am...

...where I designed the lesson plans, and graded homework, quizzes and tests. I am a great tutor because of my broad experience in tutoring many different subjects, so that I have a wide variety of approaches to help all types of students master the material. I also believe that, in my German tutoring especially, I'm very systematic, so that my students have a strong grammar foundation on which to build further skills and concepts. I...

...explain topics to other students and review material with them. I always enjoyed teaching simply because I enjoyed and was passionate about the material itself. But I enjoyed it even more when I heard about all the success other students were having as a result of my teaching. I was recruited to Brown University for rowing, and am officially undeclared but plan on graduating with a dual degree in biology and German studies. My favorite...

...language skills. Now that I am back in the United States, I teach beginning English to refugees in Durham, North Carolina. Given my varied professional and academic background, I tutor a broad range of subjects, from GRE Verbal test prep to Psychology.
