About Me



Skype Me™!
Hello, I’m Christina! I have wide-reaching interests and hobbies and enjoy talking about all of them. . . but I especially enjoy talking about languages, linguistics, and culture.

For a couple years now, I have offered language tutoring offline, and have taught subjects such as piano or drawing as well— now I bring my knowledge to the web! Offline, I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in German Studies and plan to become a professor after finishing my PhD. I am an avid painter and knitter in my spare time. I love gardening and am very good at decorating a room and designing in general. I can teach you how to speak German or English (and offer a reduced rate if you are primarily interested in practicing conversation skills), help you with writing papers and literary analysis, guide you through Old Wheelock, discuss art/color theory and critique artworks, help you figure out which plants will grow best in your garden, give you design tips, do my best to answer any and all questions, or simply show you how to make a neat hat!

Mag A Christina is a great tutor. I took English and Latin classes with her and enjoyed them a lot. Also, talking with her is interesting because she knows about different topics.

Sami Linno Christina was right on target in how taught this German Beginners class. Way to go Christina! The level of instruction she prepared for the class was just the right amount, so that total beginners and those with some experience in the language, both felt very comfortable in her class. Her students were from different backgrounds and locations, but I feel that Christina treated all of us equally, with fairness and with respect. In closing I'd like to say that I was so happy to have Christina as my Beginner German instructor here on Edufire!
