German, Maths, English for Primary, Drum and Percussion classes

I already have 17 years of experience in education.
After I finished the teacher training (5 years) at the teacher training college in Bruneck (Italy) in 2002, I completed a 3-year music percussion study in Munich. So I started my teaching career in 2002 as a percussion teacher at the music school in Bruneck. I worked there for 2 years. In the following 15 years, I went through all primary, middle and music schools in the province of South Tyrol in Italy. I taught biology, languages, drums, mathematics, languages, music, art and technology, sports and art.

After teaching for 15 years in my home country, I was looking for something new and ended up at IGS in Vietnam. I spent the last 3 years at the International German School in HCMC. Then I decided to change direction and tried to get a foothold in the business. I started my own trading company in Vietnam. As I realised that this is not really my field, I decided to go back to teaching. I just love working with children and young people and I get so much more back than in the crazy business world.

I am able to deliver learning experiences while allowing students to dictate specific lessons and guide them with curiosity. Familiar with many renowned educational philosophies that aim to develop a child academically, emotionally and socially. I bring dedication, skills and a desire to positively impact the lives of children.

I love working with children and young people. I find that I have a very good feel for children.

If you have already filled all the positions, I could also offer drum courses or drum workshops at the school. I am trained as a drummer and have worked as a drum teacher and professional musician for many years.

I speak fluently Italian and German, English good.



I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you very much!


Yours sincerely,

Matthias

About Me

My name is Matthias, I am 40 years young and live with my wife and 2 children in Saigon, Vietnam. I have been working as a teacher all my life, especially as a primary school teacher and as a drum teacher. I have studied teaching and percussion in Munich, Germany. I enjoy working with students and children. If you can put yourself in their shoes, then you are also a good teacher.

I give tutoring in all subjects that concern primary school, as well as music lessons. Especially those who would like to learn drums are in good hands with me:)

I look forward to hearing from you

To a great cooperation

Matthias

Dr. Michael
Deutschunterricht für Schüler und Erwachsene und Geschäftsleute.
Please allow me to introduce myself in a few words. Thank you. I ́m Michael, Ph.D. I love languages and find pleasure in teaching them. My mother tongue is German and I am an experienced German teacher for all age groups from 3 - 80-year-old learners. Besides German, I have taught English and French from an early age. My level in both languages is C1. Let me know your learning goals and we will figure out a manageable way to reach them. I have been working in Germany, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. These living experiences have made me very adaptable. My main focus is to realize the goals of the students – may this be a successful B1 exam, a business language training, or preparation for an anamnesis examination as a medical doctor who would like to work in Germany. I have experience in teaching individual or group lessons online via Zoom. I speak other languages: Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Indonesian and am capable to explain vocabulary or grammar using them. Please contact me if you like to improve your German, English or French. Best regards, Michael

Carina
learn how to speak German via skype or face to face session
Hey there! My name is Carina and I'm 21 years old. I was born and raised in Germany near Munich and close to the alps. After I graduated from school I've started studying German, English and Geography at the University of Munich. I spent one semester in Saigon and fell in love with the city and its people so I decided to stay and work as a tutor. Thankfully I can continue studying online but from time to time I return to Germany to write my exams. So far I've been working with German and English kids ,teenagers and a few adults. In my lessons I do not only focus on grammar rules. The most important thing is to talk as much as possible. I have different material like CD ́s PowerPoints, worksheets and games which help to learn German in a fun way. There is nothing worse and more inefficient than boring grammar lessons. I would be very happy to teach YOU german!!

Christian
German A1-C2 + exam preparation German A1-C2 including job/care
I have been teaching German for more than 10 years and am a "telc examiner" (A1-C2). I am happy to support you in learning the language and of course in preparing for exams.

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.

Elise
Private German lessons by qualified academic
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. :)
