Private tutoring for German for children, teenagers and adults.

From 65.12 C$ /h

Hello,

I offer private lessons in German for children, teenagers and adults.

I was born and raised in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, where I completed my entire education and obtained my Swiss Matura (Gymnasium diploma). German is therefore my native language, and I have an excellent command of both spoken and written German.

My lessons are tailored to each student’s individual needs and goals, whether they require academic support, exam preparation, language improvement, or professional and personal development.

I offer:
• Academic support for primary and secondary school students
• Exam preparation
• German conversation practice
• Homework assistance
• Lessons for adult learners at all levels

I am patient, reliable and dedicated to helping students build confidence and achieve their goals in a positive learning environment.

I look forward to helping you succeed

University graduate in German language and literature (Master of Letters in German with specialization in medieval languages and literature) with a solid experience, gives private German lessons for all levels.
My lessons are adapted according to the needs of the student. They aim to consolidate concepts, fill gaps, prepare for exams (maturity, compulsory school leaving certificates, entrance exams to gymnasiums and universities, Goethe Zertifikat up to B2). Opportunity to learn the language.

For school supports:

This is above all long-term work, which implies on my part taking the time to "learn how to learn" in an effective manner: every exercise is explained in detail, which can make its execution easier. slower. Quality takes priority over quantity in order to obtain optimal results over time.
Students bring their own course materials (notebooks, books, audio CDs, dictionaries, assessments, etc.).
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.

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.

For exam preparations:

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.

For the oral comprehension:

Work from audio-visual viewings downloaded from the Deutsche Welle site, which offer various recordings adapted to all levels, with a very concrete approach. In the long term, the student acquires ease not only in oral comprehension, but also enriches his basic vocabulary through exercises. I also work on the Goethe Institut oral tests to familiarize myself with speaking.

For the work of the written expression:

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.

Apart from my presence with the student, every lesson involves preparation time before and after the lesson, particularly for the work that I correct. My goal being to design an individualized course, I take the time necessary to write detailed comments on corrected work or advice to ensure maximum success for everyone.
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. :)

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.

Speaking fluent German, and giving private lessons, notably at Culture Networld in Pully, I always look forward to meeting new students.

All the students I've tutored have rediscovered their enthusiasm for learning German and made rapid progress. I don't use traditional school methods. I always research each student's weaknesses so I can tailor my lessons accordingly. Of course, if the school assigns homework, tests, etc., I focus on those with my student. If they have vocabulary or verbs to learn, I don't expect them to memorize them instantly. We review what they need to learn, and then I plan activities around it to help the concepts stick in their minds.

Are you looking for math support for your child in Secondary I? I offer private lessons adapted to the Vaud curriculum, either in person in Lausanne or online.
As an 18-year-old student in a sports-studies program at the gymnasium, I have just completed the mathematics program. This close familiarity with the subject matter allows me to understand precisely where students struggle: transitioning from concrete to abstract calculations, manipulating fractions and proportions, basic equations, linear functions, and plane geometry.
What we work on together:
• The concepts covered in class, based on textbooks and student exercises
• Occasional difficulties or blockages that arise
• Preparation of meaningful assessments and cantonal benchmark tests
• The method: how to read a problem statement, structure an answer, and verify a result
My teaching method: I adapt the pace to each student, I always start with the materials they use in class, and I place equal emphasis on understanding and confidence. Many students fall behind not because of a lack of ability, but because they have fallen behind on a few key concepts. Identifying these concepts and reviewing them thoroughly often changes their entire trajectory.
