ONLINE GERMAN (regular & Business): Private Tutor/Native Teacher with Linguistic Background & a Decade in Business

From 98.56 C$ /h

Hello Dear German Learners,

I`m a private tutor/teacher with German as a native language, who teaches German - all fully online (Skype/Zoom), from the comfort of your home. My time zone is LONDON TIME.

After ca. 5,5 yrs of training in translation and interpreting in my home country and abroad to get my degree/certifications (English is one of my "trained" languages; I speak ca. 6 languages these days) I went on working in some "real life" job/business and gained a quite diverse work experience. So, that is my many years with international clients and multilingual colleagues on top...

I am well-traveled and have lived in various countries, so can make sense of most cultural backgrounds (if not I love learning on top!). My students came from countries like Russia/Kazakstan, Brazil, UK, US, Spain and others...
I had already tutored in a very young age (in real life), then given German to smaller groups when abroad (also in person), and finally started teaching fully online when Corona hit. In 2020 I was even named "tutor of the year" by one of the platforms I worked with. My student ratings were excellent - so I can say I`m happy that my "learners" felt in good hands with me.

While being able to work with all levels and ages I usually take on adults for students - my students come with and without prior knowledge.
Please communicate what you`re at - and how I can help you make good progress. Probably you have a goal or know that you have a preferred way of studying, which we should integrate?
If you have questions I can answer, please feel free to voice them at any point!

As to the costs I go by 90min sessions (I count 45mins for 1 single class usually, but don`t offer single classes at the moment).
Per month 1 class can be re-scheduled/canceled within 24+ hrs (late cancellation requires to pay the class; that is because I had some people rescheduling every week and multiple times lastminute, which is hard to deal with - as for me: cancel as you want, but then the cancellation policy will be in place and the "empty slot" has to be covered!)

Can`t wait to hear back from you - and help you with your next steps with this very exciting language! It has many rewarding "bulb-light moments", particularly for English learners (the languages had common roots way back!). So, it`s actually a lot of fun to learn about it and discover that it ́s not "all so hard". - At least I hope to make it a "smooth ride" for you!

Talk soon! Happy to learn together!
Many greetings,
Maria

Extra information

I usually teach in English and/or German, but Spanish will work, too. I also speak French and Portuguese, so basically should be able to teach in those, too. If you speak other languages than that: I`ll understand languages based on Latin and a bit of some Eastern European ones.

Please get in touch indicating your level, if you can commit to continuous learning (how are your prospects?), and your goals etc.

As of early December 2022, I have opened up 5-10 slots to offer to new students. My availability will depend on how quickly my slots fill up. I`d advise you to get in touch timely (I sometimes also take on projects, so may have peak times with students and some without - and times when I can`t accept new learners...).

Note that I can also offer INTERVIEW PREPARATION IN GERMAN (for job seekers).
I can offer i.e. 1-2 sessions of 90-120mins for that. Please ask, if that is of interest (explaining what you need and indicating prior knowledge!).

About Me

Originally a language professional I worked with coaching and guiding people for a while, but really went from long-term contracts in diverse roles for companies to work on my side hustles in different scopes.
2020 I started teaching online (Business German among others) with very good success. I also pursued more coaching and alternatively oriented offers to others. In former years I had coached in business already, so could use that "positive baggage" well.

Today I like to work with people on topics where I bring experience to help them with their own success, or simply which I enjoy sharing.

I can be bubbly and interested in my personality, but overall am a quiet person, who likes to think through something. I`m fairly well-traveled and have lived in various countries, which helps me understand cultural differences.
Usually, I work online on projects or give classes/offer services of diverse sorts. I enjoy other people and find it great to have a little bit of variety in all of it.

Feel free to get back to me if my class offers to speak to you!
I`m always happy to work with serious learners and inspire people on their progress!

Experience / Qualifications

I am a language professional (with studies/specialist education) with 15+ yrs in Business. Among others in coaching relevant areas.

ASTROLOGY READINGS & CLASSES (Radix/Birth Horoscope)

136.47 C$ /h

WHAT?
Astrology class on a certain topic - NO PREDICTIONS!!! (No "whohoo"; I ́m just reading in line with the astrologers` associations and the usual reading patterns...not telling you the future nor doing any magic...)

> Astrology (private) class: 45mins 60 GBP (or ask, if group of 2-3 people): We learn something together, like i.e. the significance of a planet or house in the horoscope > you tell me what interests you!
> Readings related to one particular area (career/personality/spirituality etc.) are: 60 GBP for 45mins
(please ask back first...I would like to make sure that I`m the right reader for you > I don`t do "predictions")
> I also offer to read a full radix (= birth horoscope reading) for 90 GBP in up to 120mins
(it takes a good chunk of time, and is quite broad...but depends on the individual horoscope)
> Ask for courses - or little groups; I may prefer to run them so I don`t repeat the ever-same topics one-by-one! So ask, if you would like that. I`ll see if it makes sense to build it up that way!
(Also, in a study group interesting questions can come up for everybody! And it`s fun to look at the possible interpretations together!)

ABOUT:
I started using esoteric practices as a teenager - but never understood them as something "mystical", really. A good part of it came from family, however, I had a keen interest in psychology (particularly Jungian) and read myself through wild libraries like a good bookworm early on. In my early 20ies I had, then, spent 8 years with a deep immersion in astrology (diverse schools & systems), at times exchanging ideas and reading types with practicing astrologers on the side. But I just started reading for others a little later - and another while, even later, then for money. The esoteric practices came with a lot of other topics, which I evolved in and worked in professionally "on the side" for around 10 years. - I am experienced in all of this and may have my own "style" by now. Always falling back on "traditional roots", though. But no online courses and no "quick fix" involved here. It took me many years and it was slow and constant learning about oneself and working with others, step by step.
I take a bit from tarot ideas (which I started doing around 13 or so, dream shamanism and energetic practices...among others, but the list will be very long). I did train in some of those - but do offer Astrology here.

If this sounds like it is for you, then great! Though, please go by your belly feeling.
I do this, because it`s normal for me and I like to relate to the used "classification systems and thought schools", but people are different and these things may be approachable for some, but will not be "clicking" for others, which is just fine, too.

It`s the first time I put in on here. We`ll see how it goes...

SALES COACHING (from experienced coach with 6+ years experience!)

151.63 C$ /h

SALES COACHING OFFER

Sometime around 10 years ago I had a station in my work life when I worked in densely KPI-oriented environments with Sales and Marketing quotas. At that time I used to train staff for call center and sales conversations over the phone. I did this for over 6 years and coached over 100 people 1:1. The original reason why I got that chance was that I used to be an overperformer myself. So I didn`t come from "flashy powerpoints", but actually walked the talk prior to passing on any opinions.
I worked in B2B, in software environments, but had a very rich work life with times when I worked in all sorts of industries, really. So, from HR to Sales/Marketing, Tech, Finance, Products...I also worked with events and organization, with logistics, design, and high fashion, if you`d like to believe it ;-)

What is the offer - and what is the methodology?
My approach is simple: PEOPLE make business work, nothing else. Communication and how you focus make the difference. Just like how "well you feel in your skin". I believe in a consultative approach and listening to a (potential) customer. A talent that helps in customer service and in sales or presales.
My goal is for a win-win, which I feel is happening when both parties are interacting helpfully with each other.

So, my offer is to help young professionals, who often have problems picking up a phone - being confident.
Or, if you come from a non-customer-facing role and want to "work your way into confidence" I can help you with that, too.
Other than my background above I worked in multilingual environments and have/had a "side hustle" in working with people in psychological/motivational ways. So that goes on top.

My price goes per hour. Please let me know what your challenge is and what you hope to accomplish. I`ll give you an honest feedback on my end. Then we can agree on the time slots.

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 am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

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.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Hello dear student,

My name is Hiba, I worked for years as a German translator, then I worked at a language school in Hamburg. There, I gained valuable experience in the methodology of teaching foreign languages to children and adults.
According to my students, learning languages with me is a lot of fun and it makes me very happy because I help my students stay motivated until they reach their goal by simply creating an individual learning program for each student, tailored to their language skills and needs.
So far I have met and worked with wonderful students (of different ages) from all over the world.
My students are achieving excellent results, which makes me very happy and proud!
Students often tell me that they have no knowledge of German or that they have already forgotten what they have learned or that they have to take a language test soon and if I can help them and my answer is: Yes, of course.
I work at your pace and according to your needs. Basically, the course covered several areas such as reading, comprehension, and pronunciation.
Because I love my job, I support my students via WhatsApp outside of working hours, so I'm available anytime if you have any questions or need help. So don't hesitate to contact me!

If you need more information, please write to me and I will be happy to answer your questions.
I look forward to having you on my team soon because you deserve the best.
See you

Having extensive teaching experience, I prepare students/adults for all levels of the DELE Spanish Diplomas and for all official Spanish exams within Universities.
● Spanish courses for adults who intend to travel or live in a Spanish-speaking country.
● Specialized fun Spanish courses for children (6-13 years old), audiovisual material, interactive games on the internet, choice of textbooks taking into account their age. Children learn the language through experiences and experiences while having fun.

● Written production, grammar, oral and written comprehension.
● Spanish civilization course.
I live in Spain, so I give all my classes on Skype.
