I'm as passionate about tutoring means of communication today as I was with 10 years old, changing the lives of those who are counted plagued with learning disabilities or struggle with learning new languages.

Reading and Comprehension: tutoring over 25 years, often taking only 6 months for achieved goals.
German as a second language: tutoring over 6 years, comprehension and conversation prioritized.

My Story:
Zero tolerance at home for my "imperfections" except a great grandfather who accepted the way I was . . .
And that turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

That great grandfather spoke almost only German to me.
I understood him better than any of my family, who were speaking American English.
The English language was extremely difficult for me, from day one.
And, yes, I remember.

I took these circumstances, my dyslexia and my ADHD for what they were.
I accepted the difficulties, the pains, the fears.
I accepted the simplicity, the "superpowers", and the joys.
I saw them all and I believed in realistic opportunities,
the options most others were blind to.

While my parents were punishing me, a wonderful man and his girlfriend from church were believing in me.
And when I went to school, my teachers saw my self-created methods for making gold of what others were calling a problem and they put me to work to help others find the gold in their way of learning.

Later, moving to Germany changed my life. Surrounded by people I could understand and who worked as hard as I did was refreshing. I implemented all of my "superpowers" to make the language my own and am bilingual today.

So if you have the courage to enjoy the process and see mistakes as stepping stones, I will lend you the guidance and techniques you need to embrace and embed what you learn in the way you do it best!

Approved Subjects

Ballet

Ballet

Dancing is all about self-expression and creativity! With my five years of dance training, eight years of teaching creative dance and ballet basics, and my love of dance in my free time, I can set you, your friends, and/or your children on the road to learning dance basics, lending your dance a personal touch, or doing your own choreography.
German

German

I developed a method that simulates immersion and trains comprehension and conversational skills. - lived in Germany for over 10 years - language tutor for over 15 years
Proofreading

Proofreading

I proofread many of the translated manuals and flyers for the company Variobot. A few I also translated. This is a German company, meaning that there is a need for context proofing as well as grammar. I also help people learn how to proofread their own work with high accuracy.
Reading

Reading

I see the opportunities in difficulties and strengths, because together they're greater than the sum! - teacher-assigned to tutor ages 5 -12 with the age of nine - counselor-assigned to tutor ages 13 - 16 with the age of 15: the core intention was to help students "feel" the education - career goal correlation in order to veer clear of suicide - volunteered at the European School of Karlsruhe in Germany: children from all over the world
Writing

Writing

Writing is a process with clear steps and structures. With a 3.5 grade average during my college years, writing was my strong point. I love to write! And teaching the subject brings me as much joy as the process itself.

Optimistic, caring tutor

I began my journey with Janee in May 2024 with the goal of reaching B2 by April 2025 in order to study in Germany. I took classes with her online since I live in Puerto Rico, where no one speaks German; I also want to mention I am 18. Other tutors (who charged double) told me it was an overambitious goal and that it would take at least two years with hard work. I chose Janee because she warned me it would be hard, but definitely possible, and she promised to make it as fun as possible. She was also transparent about the fact that she normally teaches beginner levels. I began taking classes with her four times a week, and she did not disappoint at all. Most classes flew by; they were fun yet serious. In less than a month I could feel the progress. She gave good homework and it showed that she cared about my learning. I must emphasize this: she made it a priority that I understood the material while being patient and understanding. It was noticeable that she went beyond what was expected during the lessons and outside of them. Another thing that stood out was her way of explaining. She didn’t just ask me to memorize. Since German is somewhat of a logical language with rules, she made sure I understood those rules, which significantly boosted my speed in learning the language. In January 2025, I felt confident with my German skills; however, my speaking skills still needed a boost, so I decided to do an Immersive Course in Germany. After that, I stopped taking classes with Janee. Even though she mainly teaches beginner levels, she also managed to give me a strong base in higher levels. When I took the TestDaF, I felt really confident. My scores were enough to study in Germany. Janee was truly a fundamental person in my journey. Her optimism and energy kept me excited about learning German throughout the year. She is very fun but simultaneously serious, someone who cares more about her students’ progress than anything else. Her way of teaching is the reason I was able to study in Germany and understand the language so quickly. I recommend her to anybody and everybody. I also recommend doing her homework and tasks, it doesn’t matter if they seem too beginner or childish.

Patient and great communicator with kids!

Janee is great with kids, patient and a great communicator, using helpful visuals at times. She makes learning fun for my 11 yr old son, who is complete beginner/newbie to German.

Passionate and Professional Tutor

I had a very positive tutoring experience with Janee. She has lived in Germany for many years and is able to provide a very authentic perspective of how Germans talk and go about their daily lives. Janee is always passionate and professional, which made it a pleasure working with her. She is very attuned to the particular needs of the students and is invested in their learning growth.

Mary, 51 lessons with Janee

An excellent teacher!

She gets me to speak and she corrects my frequent mistakes appropriately, with a good balance of examples and explanation. We practiced vocabulary about several important subjects like shopping, ordering in a restaurant, traveling and so on. I learned very useful grammatical tips.

Friendly and Practical

She was to the point and explained what the current problems with my dancing were. Also, she gave me an exercise I've been doing every day since then to strengthen my core, which will improve my dancing. Thanks, Janee.

I love Janee”s Teaching Techniques.

Justin says “I think she’s cool”. And I think that is an awesome beginning. Toward the end when Carter got involved, I think Justin got a little distracted. Thanks Janee, looking forward to next Saturday.
