Hi! I’m Nadia. I use multimodal tools to enhance learning while making it fun and engaging. I set clear learning goals, track student progress, and provide expedient constructive feedback. I identify learners’ strengths and needs, and I teach learners to use their strengths to strategically meet their own needs.

Hi! I’m Nadia. I use multimodal tools to enhance learning while making it fun and engaging. I set clear learning goals, track student progress, and provide expedient constructive feedback. I identify learners’ strengths and needs, and I teach learners to use their strengths to strategically meet their own needs.
2021-2025 at the University of Colorado, Boulder, I taught German language acquisition courses exclusively in German, German content courses in English and in German, and other Humanities courses focusing on literature, cinema and film, psychology and psychoanalysis, philosophy, sociological and political subject matter, and historical events. I developed original courses, like "Psychology in German Art, Literature, and Cinema" and "Populist Symbols." I refined courses like "Tracing the Criminal" and "Representing the Holocaust."
2014-2021, at Binghamton University, while I completed my M.A. and my Ph.D. in Comparative Literature, I earned C.1. certification in German from the University of Leipzig’s Herder Institute. I taught German language and English-language Composition courses, emphasizing grammar, syntax, spelling, and organization. For three years, I tutored an elementary-aged child in German.
I completed my B.A. in Psychology and in German Language and Literature at Rutgers University, where I earned the title of an Honors Researcher in Psychology and graduated Cum Laude. I completed coursework that readies me to tutor in the biological and social sciences, in addition to the Humanities.
I meet students where they are, and I teach them how to reach their potential. In English or in German, I excel at helping learners create compelling and well-written, age-appropriate essays that reflect structured and advanced thought via organization and argument development. I motivate students to delve deeper into subject matter, engage in research, and develop skills for independent success.
