Steven is requesting

German Tutor/Pen Pal

10


10 for fulfilling my request - Virtual OK - Posted Jul 18, 2017

I've studied German for two years in middle school, and all of high school. Having graduated almost 10 years ago, I've had little time to commit to keeping my German skills up to par, and I have no one to practice with or motivate me. I'm looking for someone who can speak German with me in a natural conversation about the world and current events. Something that is not the typical "Hello, how are you? What's your name? Where do you live? Etc etc." Perhaps starting there is always a given, but I'm looking to get my speaking/writing skills back so that I can achieve fluency. I'm not really sure how to gauge my current skill level/vocabulary either. I would say I'm definitely past German 1 and 2.

I've selected "Only once" as my options for "How many times do you want help with this?" Because I hope that we can set up a schedule for maybe once every other week or once a month to speak, and writing could happen as often as you're willing to respond. For simbi, I'm not sure what to offer, so I'll set it at 10 per speaking session, and if you want to charge me for writing, let me know your price!

Also, with writing, I am looking for spelling, grammar, and vocabulary corrections. My goal is to write to you without cheating in a translator. So I expect to start out with fairly basic word use and work my way up to more sophisticated word use.

Please let me know your thoughts!

Thanks to Steven I am getting much better at Solidworks, he knows how to make the most out of the program to showcase the different ways it works!

Steven was able to explain thoroughly how to effectively build features and constrained sketches in Solidworks and did some exercises with me from the... bottom up, showcasing construction details, discreet Solidworks messages on the go, manipulating constraints to achieve flexible outcomes on top giving me the chance to practice other exercises on my own!show more

Steven not only masters Solidworks but is also capable of articulating perfectly what he is doing, what the tools do and the thought process behind co...nstructing geometries. He could answer my questions and demonstrate solutions right away, helping me understand better how the program works either by drafting solutions to my questions from scratch or by showing me examples of previous work!show more
Gaby received session of Ask an Anarchist from Steven
May 31, 2017
Steven answered every question I had about anarchy. He thoroughly explained his views and helped me understand how such a society is actually possible.... I had loads of "aha" moments while speaking with Steven, and he even gave me a list of sources upon request so that I can further educate myself even after the video chat had ended. I strongly recommend speaking with him if you don't know much about anarchy, or even if you want to collaborate ideas about it. He is extremely knowledgeable about the subject and is genuinely interested in speaking with others about it! -- highly recommendedshow more

Steven is clear and direct, a good listener and a fast study. We had some scheduling difficulties at first but he was very easy to work with, and I'd... do it again. I have no doubt he'll be creating awesome Drupal websites in no time!show more

About Steven Kiley

-Individually driven. -Works well in team environments. -Observant, inquisitive, and critical. -Ability to conduct one's self enthusiastically in a field of interest or expertise. -Looking to be...come more familiarized with material properties and when to select specific materials for a given objective. -Looking to advance knowledge in the CAD industry. -Would like to instruct/tutor the SolidWorks CAD software. -Always looking for ways to become a better informed/well-rounded designer and engineer. I've been fascinated by mechanisms and general design since I was a little boy. I don't think I had many toys for more than a week before I figured out how to take them apart. Some wouldn't always make it back together, but most would. As I got older, my interest turned towards computers. My fascination with mechanical engineering turned into a hobby before high school, so I would find free CAD software to doodle in on the home computer. Eventually I had my first CAD classes in high school, and that sealed the deal. My passion took me into the realm of firearms, and I found myself designing different parts from my sophomore year through my senior year. By my senior year, I had developed a rifle completely from scratch. I now have a career as a mechanical engineer, but my goal is to start and run a business for firearms design and manufacturing. Through my college years, I was a student by day, part time worker/SolidWorks junky by night. I mentored and tutored SolidWorks to fellow peers for two years. I developed a Youtube channel to provide my tutoring skills for free. Now I am here, looking to trade my knowledge for other peoples' knowledge. If you work with me, you'll find that I am very patient, considerate, and willing to teach from basic fundamentals, up to advanced professional applications. show more
