German Tutoring – School Help, Exam Preparations & Engaging Lessons

From 47 C$ /h

Hello! My name is Kyra, and I am a motivated and dedicated German tutor offering personalized lessons for students of all levels, from beginner to advanced.

I studied German for 7 years in school and continue to maintain and develop my skills independently. In addition, I had the opportunity to spend a full year studying in Germany, where I immersed myself in the language and culture. This experience allowed me to develop strong communication skills and gain real-life exposure to the language and culture.

As a student myself, I understand the challenges of learning a language and know how to explain concepts in a simple, clear, and effective way. I am passionate about helping others progress and gain confidence in developing German skills through structured and engaging lessons.

I have a few years of experience in tutoring students in mandatory school, where I supported them in improving their grammar, reading, writing, and speaking skills, as well as helping with homework and exam preparation.

My lessons are tailored to your individual learning goals. Through one-on-one lessons, I can adapt my teaching methods to suit your learning style and help you progress at your own pace.

I'm excited to get to know you and create a positive and enjoyable learning environment!

With a university degree in German language and literature (Master of Arts in German with a specialization in medieval languages and literature) and solid experience, I offer private German lessons for all levels and all age groups.
My courses are designed to be adapted to the age, level and specific needs of each individual. They aim to introduce the language, consolidate concepts, fill gaps, and prepare for exams (ECR 8P, compulsory school leaving certificates, entrance exams for gymnasiums, maturity and university exams, Goethe Zertifikat up to B2).

Specifics for academic support:

Since this is primarily a long-term endeavor, I emphasize methodology by taking the time to "learn how to learn" effectively: every exercise is explained in detail, which may make its execution slower. Quality takes precedence over quantity in order to achieve optimal results over time.
Students bring their own course materials (notebooks, textbooks, tablets and/or computers, dictionaries, assessments...).
Another important point: in order for my help to be beneficial, it is necessary that the student provides regular personal work between lessons. This essentially involves rereading your notes, repeating exercises similar to those carried out together or even moving forward in learning vocabulary.

Specifics for conversation classes:

The topics are based on interests and/or specific needs for exam preparation. I attach particular importance to pronunciation, fluency and vocabulary. I usually correct at the end of a conversation exercise with detailed feedback, in order to avoid any blockages and to work on fluency. Depending on the level of the students and/or their expectations (exam preparations/assessments/desire for improvement for example), I work on the choice of appropriate words, grammatical accuracy, the ability to formulate more or less complex sentences.

Specifics for exam preparation:

The courses offer to acquire solid tools to learn to write, to comment on literary texts and a methodology to work on oral comprehension. The student must bring their own exam preparation brochure, available in all bookstores. For Goethe Institute model exams, the exam books from Cornlesen are particularly suitable. The other alternative would be to download and print before the start of the course a copy of the Goethe Institute exam available on the institute's website.

Specifics for listening comprehension:

I primarily use audiovisual materials downloaded from the Deutsche Welle website, which offers a variety of recordings suitable for all levels, with a very practical approach. Over time, students not only gain fluency in listening comprehension but also enrich their basic vocabulary through exercises. I also work with the Goethe-Institut's oral tests to familiarize them with spoken language.

Specifics for written expression work:

I begin by explaining in the first lesson some methodological tools to acquire writing skills. The student has the opportunity to start writing during the course or do a writing exercise on duty and give it to me to correct (send by email or at the beginning of the next lesson). The corrections are explained in detail. In addition, at the time of booking, the student can send me a draft copy before the lesson so that I can meet his needs even more quickly.

Besides my presence with the student, every lesson involves preparation time before and after, particularly for the assignments I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the necessary time to write detailed comments in my corrections or offer advice to maximize each student's success.
In addition, each student can contact me at any time outside of class by email if necessary.

Feel free to contact me for more information, and I look forward to supporting you in your learning. 😊

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.

➤ Learn French with a successful technique: the main objective is to acquire bases or improve your level in French (written & oral: pronunciation, comprehension, language construction, communication, conjugation, grammar & vocabulary). It is also to understand the cultural specificities of Switzerland & France.

➤ Whether it is for work or leisure, the classes are adjusted to the initial diagnosis and to your needs.

➤ The method focuses on your own goals and:

• are adjusted to your own rhythm, with (funny) oral and writing exercises
• help to improve your everyday/practical skills
• on interactivity: you learn much more quickly with private sessions and you develop listening and vocabulary skills in an effective way
• these classes are customized courses to create an environment adjusted to each person, to meet your individual needs & requirements, and to learn French effectively.

➤ Statistically, you will be able to notice that you have progressed with these private classes, after 2 or 3 classes (based on our 2023 survey).

Hello, I offer to help you:

-sort and classify overdue usual documents
-create one or more binders in order to classify these documents and not fall behind
-create a routine so that you no longer feel overwhelmed
-Make contact with various services in order to find papers or find arrangements
-Establish an order of priority in order to gradually return to a comfortable situation

After a phone or real meeting that is used to analyze the situation and get to know each other, I propose an action plan.
Then, more often than not, I receive all the documents at home and sort and classify them.
After that, another real interview where I explain the new organization if there is one, or I give advice on organization and optimization.

Depending on the length of the process, there is regular monitoring. In addition, TOTAL DISCRETION IS ENSURED.

I am used to offering this kind of service and I can no longer count the number of people who have contacted me in an embarrassing or delicate situation. I look forward to helping you in a warm and efficient atmosphere.

I am a French teacher for 13 years. I can help for any demand in French (schooling, French as foreign language, communication, children, adults any level, etc.) I have a fun & active method that I tailored to the learner.
After a meeting where we talk about your needs and wishes, I provide you a personal program based on your needs, goals, strengths & skills to learn better, easier, and faster. It's the same with children because they first need to develop confidence to trust their own skills.

French teacher (13 years old) for all learners (school, French as a foreign language, adults, business communication, etc.), I have adopted a playful active method that I adapt to the needs of the learners.
After an interview where we discuss your needs and wishes, I propose a program based on your needs, objectives, strengths and skills to allow you to learn easily, easily, quickly. It's the same thing with schoolchildren, because they especially need to gain confidence in their abilities to see them hatch.

I am a last year student at EPFL. I studied a BsC in Telecommunications Engineering in Madrid (UPM) and now I'm finishing my MsC in EPFL. I like playing basketball and piano.
I have the all necessary qualities to become an Spanish teacher, since I love my mother tongue and I am very fluent at theoretical grammar at all levels.
The dynamics of the class can be selected by the student: from an extensive course on the desired level of Spanish to casual taks.

Furher data:
- Place availability: I prefer going to the student's home if it is close to Ecublens/Lausanne but I can discuss coming to my house (student residence) or even have virtual classes (Zoom/Teams).
- Time availability: Every evening of the week.
- Age: 23.

- No two students are the same. I tailor every single lesson to your specific pace, interests, and goals. I focus on creating a supportive, interactive environment where you feel completely comfortable making mistakes and growing your confidence.

Lessons can take place online, at the UNIL campus, or at a convenient location in Lausanne. Feel free to send me a message to discuss your goals. Let's make learning English enjoyable and stress-free!

Bilingual German-English, of Swiss German origin and having lived and worked in Germany for several years, I offer private or small group lessons for adults and/or children, for both languages, German and English.

- Beginner course for adults
- Conversation classes for all levels, all ages
- Children's classes
- Academic support for schoolchildren up to 11th grade Harmos, based on their school materials
- Prepare tests, practice vocabulary
- One-off support courses
- ...or according to your needs.

I regularly give private lessons and teach small groups in a private school.

I have taught my children all school subjects for more than 2 years. I am therefore familiar with the school curriculum of the canton of Vaud and am very motivated to transmit these two beautiful languages and to see the progress of my students. One of my priorities is to make the student comfortable speaking and, especially in the school setting, to have more fun learning.
For adult classes, we will discuss your needs before the first class and decide on the program together.

Lessons at the student's home (in the vicinity of Prilly) and distance learning are also possible.
