German language tuition and conversation tailored to individual needs and levels

From 49.96 C$ /h

German tuition tailored to individual needs and levels for adults.

I am a native German speaker and have a Masters degree in pedagogy and educational sciences.

Needs of individual learners are varied, classes can be adapted for students learning German as a foreign language, as well as to the needs of those that have an interest in language skills for other reasons, from an ability to communicate on holidays, to understanding and interpretation in more specific areas or fields of interest, such as literature, philosophy, on-line news, technical language{ to a certain extent}, or other applications.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

The first class will serve as an introductory class where I will get to know your language skills level and your language objectives. I will adapt each of the following classes to these two factors and include a variety of reading, written, and oral exercises.

For all enthusiasts who want to learn German!
This class will build your basis and the focus will be on grammar and vocabulary. I will develop engaging lesson plans which will explore different aspects of the German culture, including German art, history, geography and culture. This way you will not only expand your vocabulary and grammar knowledge but also get to know German culture better. We will also do speaking and practice pronunciation. The difficulty of the class will depend on your level. Depending on your interest we will focus on the aspect(s) you want to develop and practice more.

Quality German lessons adapted individually to each student, their skill level and their goals.
My courses are effective because I focus on you and your goals.
Do you wish to practice speaking German? As a native speaker we can talk for hours about different subjects, helping your German become better and better over time.
Do you need help with writing German? I can help you! Having grown up in Germany for the first 18 years of my life, I am completely fluent in writing on any level you might need, from beginners to professional.
Do you need help understanding German? I will patiently explain everything to you and we will practise together.

I received an A* at German GCSE after developing a real passion for the language. I then travelled extensively around Austria and Germany, living in Austria for a couple of months which made me almost fluent in the language. I am offering my knowledge to you to help improve your ability. I have tutored German before and have a style I think works best but happy to tailor the sessions to your individual needs and aspirations.

German is a beautiful language to be able to speak. Whether you are a student, trying to understand 'Grammatik Grundlagen' or an adult preparing for your post-covid trip to Munich, I would love to teach and guide you on your journey to the language.
A bit about me: I came to Germany when I was 11, and had to catch up with all the native children in my class. A very kind teacher taught me grammar and spelling and I became the best in my class, even though I was a foreigner. I am now fluent in 3 languages and studying Italian and Business at University, engaging with the study of languages and translations.
I hope I can bring you closer to the German language, in a way that suits you and your language goals most.

German is a difficult language. I would like to assist anyone learning with my native german skills. I have a very good understanding of language and want to give you insight on how the language is used in a natural way. There will be speaking exercise and creative writing if you're more advanced. As a big poetry and classic literature fan, i would love to introduce you to the german classics, from tales like Snow White to Rainer Maria Rilke's moving poetry.

A relaxed introduction to German for both complete beginners and those with a little knowledge of the subject already. We'll focus on speaking, focussing on a different topic each week and learning how to talk about them together. Students are very welcome to request topics!

Learning a new language is both rewarding and extremely useful. German is spoken by tens of millions of people worldwide and can prove to be a valuable tool for the job market.

Additionally, a plethora of immensely important works of philosophy, literature, psychology and many more fields were - and are - published in German, enabling a speaker to broaden their field of knowledge. This class is perfect for those who are wishing to learn a new language, improve upon existing knowledge of German or those wishing to explore German literature and history more closely.

Become a Poliglot. Research shows that learning languages causes anatomical changes in the brain. It causes new connections between neurons, which can contribute to the enlargement of certain parts of the brain...
And so less scientifically? The use of several languages is pure joy, satisfaction and a wide path to any success in life.
I am Polish. I always have heard that it's good to speak languages of your neighbours. So I have learnt German and Russian. English was an obvious choice for a professional life. Presently I am learning Hebrew just for fun, because I like the idea of knowing three different alphabets.
I invite you to join me on this fascinating journey.
We can do together homeworks from your school, learn vocabulary, repeat grammar, read, listen, sing, talk and discover the motherland of the chosen language.
I am not a professional teacher, but I have a passion for learning and I would like to share this passion. For two years I have been working in schools as a teaching assistant or general cover. Pupils enjoy cooperation with me, have fun and feel comfortable in process.
Just try.

Having recently graduated with a First-Class BA in French and German from the University of Oxford, I am keen to share my passion for languages by helping German learners perform successfully, placing a particular emphasis on speaking and grammar teaching. I offer tutoring for beginners aged 5-18 and adult learners. Before memorisation, I focus on communication and understanding, moving at the student's pace to ensure that any new material has been absorbed.

I have tutored for four years, both online and in person, and have a strong academic record that reflects my committed attitude. I have taught beginners, those preparing for 13+ scholarship exams, and GCSE students. I am familiar with most examination boards at GCSE and A Level, especially Cambridge iGCSE and Pre-U. Furthermore, I offer tailored support with personal statements and Oxbridge interview preparation.
