About Elihu
I have 5 years of teaching experience. I have mainly taught German and Chinese. Alongside this, I have tutored high school math (algebra, pre-calc, calculus) and university physics. I have a minor in Chinese Language from RPI, where I taught for 2 years as a TA and private tutor, and have lived and worked in mainland China in the defense aerospace sector, where professional and technical Chinese proficiency is demanded. My experience with the German language includes a year of high school exchange in Germany, and subsequent trips to Germany for business and study.

My teaching method is conversation-based. The goal is to develop intuitions, so that the student has an inner sense of what "feels right" without needing to consult a book -- just like a native speaker. Intuitions are the only way to attain fluency; the analytical mind doesn't operate fast enough. And the memories we form when studying are too shallow. We need real human interactions - moments of embarrassment, joy, confusion or frustration - to forge strong memories of words and phrases. Deep down, everyone knows this. But conversation is daunting! That's why I'm here, to be your supportive conversation partner, teaching you the words and rules, and helping you put them to use. I will provide you with unique study materials that present Chinese in a systematic, pattern-focused way. You will reach an understanding of the overall system, rather than a myopic detail view, so that it is easy to progress in the future.

Elihu is incredibly hard-working, knowledgeable and good at teaching. We met because he was my Mandarin tutor. I learned a lot during my lessons with him as he always knew what approach to take to help me learn the specific skills I lacked. He is very patient and took time to go over the material that I struggled with. Elihu is very friendly and pleasant to talk to. As such, to learn, we often would chat about various topics but in Mandarin. That made learning so much more fun and engaging. Moreover, Elihu always kept track of what was covered in the lesson and wrote it down on a piece of paper I could take with me for revision later, which really helped.
I recommend Elihu as he can adapt to everyone's specific needs, he is patient and diligent as well as friendly and engaging. I can guarantee that whoever takes classes with him will walk away learning something new and inspired to learn more!Elihu is very knowledgeable about the German language. He explains items clearly and uses examples to illustrate his point. He is also responsive when setting appointments and is always on time.
Elihu is an established, well-rounded lower brass teacher, and performer versed in all the Tubas, and Euphonium models. He is a good listener and can apply his knowledge and experience to beginners and advanced players.
Elihu was one of my mentors for my Chinese language class last year! He is extremely knowledgeable about the language and well-versed in its grammar. During our lessons, he was always kind and ensured that I fully understood the suggestions and teachings he provided.
Elihu is a wonderful tutor not only because of his breadth of knowledge of the Chinese language but his unique ability to transfer that knowledge to a novice in the subject. Elihu was my Chinese mentor for my first college course and without his help it would have gone as well as it did. His teaching style is adaptable to the needs and desires of each individual student. I highly recommend Elihu if you want to get serious about your learning and have a good time while doing it!
He was a mentor for my Chinese class I believe for Chinese 1 through 4. He helped me in my Chinese 1 curriculum and went through everything and even helped me not be as nervous by not looking at me. Also sent me home with recordings so I can practice on my own too. He was also able to move the time slot when something came up last minute.
Best tutor I’ve had hands down. He’s very good at understanding different learning styles and adapting to give his student the best learning experience. Couldn’t recommend him enough.
