German courses for beginners and tutoring

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
You never learned German? You learned it at school, but have only rather vague memories? You may have been a little "traumatized" by the school's methods, but you want to give this language another chance? You manage a little to speak, but have a lot of trouble understanding your interlocutors? Would you like to be able to understand simple texts? Would you like to overcome your fear of speaking? Would you like to have fun while studying effectively? Or all of these at once? So why not try my course.
I also offer academic support at the secondary and gymnasium level to review your basics, prepare for your tests or give you a head start over your classmates. I work with school materials and offer additional exercises and training to also give another vision of learning.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Polyglot, I discovered my passion for languages late at the age of 27 when I took a sabbatical to improve my English in San Francisco and learn Spanish in Peru while volunteering. I lived in Ireland for 18 months and was confronted with a multitude of accents by trips to the United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom and New Zealand. After Ireland, I moved to Berlin for 2.5 years. I have an excellent level in English and a very good level in German.

My experience as a language teacher has so far been almost exclusively volunteer, but with several age groups. I did homework help with children and teenagers in Peru, gave classes and workshops to migrant adults in Lausanne and taught English to Brazilian teenagers in Curitiba. I gave private English conversation classes to a young English man while living in Germany. I also gave French lessons to migrant adults in a Vaud association

Having an English test in a few days, Séverine was really able to enlighten me on certain grammar points. She is patient, explains well and takes initiative to research exercises to complement what I already have as course material. Thank you so much ! Good luck in your teaching career!

Polyglot, especially passionate about the English language, I wish to transmit my knowledge to learners from 13 years. I do not have a predefined method, we will define together that you want to refresh old knowledge or you are already well advanced. However, I try to give the course a maximum in English and like to vary the teaching aids, books, videos, songs, etc ... I learned English everywhere, but having a clear preference for British English, my vocabulary is leaning on that side. Finally, only one word: FUN, because learning a language must be a pleasure
Polyglot loving transmitting my linguistic knowledge, I give lessons in French as a foreign language from 13 years. I do not have a pre-established program, we will establish it together according to your needs, your desires and of course your level. You will be able to improve your knowledge through conversations, videos, songs, grammar exercises, games, readings. We can use your own books or materials that I will provide you Polylot who likes to pass on my linguistic knowledge, I give classes of French as a second language to people from 13 years old. I do not have any set we will establish it together depending on your needs. You will be able to broaden your knowledge through conversations, games, videos, songs, grammar excercise, reading, etc. We can use your own books or material I can bring with me.

Noemi

German is a language that seems complicated and inaccessible from the outside ... In reality, through a few grammatical rules, a little practice and a good learning system, German is deployed as a structured language , free of exceptions and beautiful! Having a lot of experience in one-on-one teaching, I adapt to all ages and all levels to offer tailor-made courses according to individual needs.

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. :)

Habiba
German language course from scratch / teaching German school curricula. Developing reading, writing, conversation, and listening skills.
The German language is currently in high demand in the labor market, and Germany accepts scholarships for study or work, so learning the German language has become necessary for anyone who wants to study or work at an advanced level. The German language is not difficult, but it requires effort, regularity, and follow-up with the teacher, as well as making sure to attend classes with concentration.

Daniel
Individualized German tutoring by Cambridge certified tutor
I have a master's degree in German Studies, and I am C2 proficient in English. Besides extensive work as a translator, I have experience tutoring university students from abroad, as well as refugees, and even my Czech girlfriend. Not just in English and German, but also specifically working to understand the Swiss dialects. Thus, I have a broad knowledge base that deals in all possible lingual backgrounds. I think in any language, learning is easiest when respecting the unique backgrounds of people and their language, and focusing rather on the commonalities than the differences. Being knowledgeable about linguistics certainly helps in achieving this. I believe in a personal approach, thus I would sit down with you and figure out what your goals are, your strengths, and your resources, either in person or via online tutoring.

Nadine
German (Native) and English (Fluent) Online - Class
I’m a 28-year-old German native speaker with a passion for teaching languages, including German, English, and Thai. Currently, I’m in my 4th year of medical school, but I’ve always been enthusiastic about languages and cultural exchange. I have experience working as an English teacher in Japan, where I developed strong teaching skills and an understanding of different learning styles. Additionally, I’ve babysat while incorporating a bit of language exchange, further enriching my teaching experience. Growing up bilingual, with a German father and Thai mother, I have native-level proficiency in German and conversational skills in Thai. I’ve also traveled extensively and spent several months in Australia and New Zealand and currently I am studing in English, which helped me achieve fluency in English and even understand Australian slang. I offer 1-on-1 tutoring sessions tailored to your needs, where we can focus on conversation, grammar, and vocabulary. Whether you're looking to improve your language skills for travel, work, or cultural understanding, I’m here to support your learning journey. Feel free to ask questions or request specific lesson structures—I’m flexible and eager to help you reach your goals.

Elaine

I respond to my students' requests and my goal is to help students make progress without burdening them. I give assignments after every lesson and create regular progress reports.
