German Courses – A Competence-Oriented Approach

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
As a qualified teacher with experience in primary, secondary, high school, and vocational education, and a Master's degree in German studies, I adopt a pedagogical approach based on the development of linguistic and transversal skills. The objective of my teaching is not limited to simple language acquisition, but aims for lasting, functional, and contextualized mastery of German.

What is competence-oriented learning?
A student is proficient in German when he or she is able to:
✔ Mobilize your knowledge: rely on your knowledge or independently search for the necessary information.
✔ Understand and use linguistic and cultural concepts: express ideas clearly and use appropriate vocabulary and structures in various situations.
✔ Solve problems and accomplish tasks: Use linguistic, communication and cultural skills to analyze, understand and respond to situations effectively.
✔ Plan and organize your work: establish learning strategies, make appropriate decisions and demonstrate perseverance and rigor.
✔ Adopt an active and methodical approach: use varied learning strategies and exploit educational opportunities in an autonomous and thoughtful manner.
✔ Working collaboratively: interacting with others, cooperating and adapting skills to different contexts and modes of communication.

Active and Interactive Pedagogy
My approach is based on dynamic teaching methods, which encourage active student involvement:
📖 Contextualized learning: real-life situations, case studies and exploration of authentic documents.
🗣 Development of oral and written skills: dialogues, role plays, written production and text analysis.
🌍 Intercultural approach: discovery of German-speaking cultures through literature, history and the media.
🛠 Learning strategies and autonomy: using effective methods to memorize, structure ideas and express yourself with confidence.
🔍 Formative assessment and differentiated support: personalized monitoring allowing each student to progress at their own pace and according to their needs.

Teaching Objectives
🎯 Develop strong language skills for fluent and relevant communication.
🎯 Promote student autonomy by giving them the methodological tools to learn effectively.
🎯 Encourage a reflective and critical approach to linguistic and cultural content.
🎯 Prepare students for academic and professional requirements (exams, certifications, multilingual professional contexts).

This competence-oriented approach allows us to go beyond passive language learning to use it as a lever for communication, reflection, and cultural integration. It develops in students not only linguistic knowledge, but also the ability to adapt and learn independently, essential in a constantly changing world.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I'm originally from Lucerne and have always been passionate about languages, as they open up new perspectives and allow us to better understand the world. A graduate of the University of Applied Sciences in Lucerne, I have been teaching German for over ten years at various levels, from primary to secondary school, including vocational school and high school. I also earned a Master's degree in German Studies from the University of Lausanne and a Master's degree in Globalization and Political Science from Brighton University.

As a mother of two, I know how important it is to inspire students to learn. My teaching approach relies on engaging and interactive methods that encourage intrinsic motivation, especially among younger students.

Thanks to my fluency in several languages, I help my students understand German by making connections with other languages, which facilitates their learning. My teaching is inspired by my own language learning journey, which allows me to offer a creative and stimulating approach. My primary goal is to give students confidence and introduce them to the cultural and expressive richness of German.

Hello, I am a language teacher, mainly English. CELTA certified (from Cambridge), I have 8 years of experience teaching all age categories and social origins.

Italian professor, NATIVE and CELTA qualified, A-Levels, GCSE all levels
Hello everyone! I hold a doctorate in Italian, have been teaching Italian for 5 years and hold a CELTA teaching qualification. I've been preparing students for the A-Levels and GCSE (language + literature). I can prepare you for specific examinations, language lessons in general or teach you Italian for business. The lessons are for everyone, whatever their age or level (children to adults). I will make sure that you discover the Italian culture through the lessons, learn the correct pronunciation and of course learn some grammar. I am open to your needs and can speak a few languages to make sure you understand fully the lessons (of course, we’ll try to use mostly Italian in all our lessons depending on your level). I can’t wait to meet my new students! 😊

Benoit
Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

French courses for students in school and students who would like to improve in the language.
French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master. My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.
