Information About Heather - Dublin tutor

Personal Description:

I am a second year college student studying Applied Languages and Translation with German and Spanish at Dublin City University. Therefore, I am learning both languages intensively every day. I am hard-working and studious. I am very passionate about languages and enjoy sharing my knowledge with others.

Tutoring Experience:

I have been studying German for the past seven years, six years in secondary school and the past year in university. I was top of my Leaving Certificate German class and therefore, I was often asked by my colleagues to help them with their understanding. I remain top of my class in University and help my peers and friends with their grammar and translations. Additionally, I have been teaching English to refugees as part of the Irish Refugee Network at Dublin City University over the last year and a half.

Approach to Grinds:

In the first grind I will ask the student to take a learning style quiz and ask them about their target grade and their preferred methods of learning. I will tailor the grinds accordingly to ensure maximum understanding of the content. I would prefer to teach grinds through Zoom, however I am happy to walk for in-person grinds within my locality. If the student wishes, I can record each lesson on Zoom and send it to them after so they can later review the lessons. I will also assign small amounts of homework following each grind to reinforce the content taught. Additionally, I can send any notes by email or message following on from each lesson. I will work through exam papers with the student to sufficiently prepare them for State Examinations and vocabulary, grammar, listening and writing skills will be taught. I will try to make each grind as interactive and enjoyable as possible as I feel this is the best way for the student to learn and remember information.
