YOUR GERMAN TUTOR: Focusing on proficiency in speaking, listening, reading and/or writing German in levels A1 through B2

My German courses are a fully integrated approach to accommodate all learning styles and to achieve your goal in learning German, be school-, work-, travel-related. This would also include relationship-related (German family member and/or German significant other).

The coursebook I select for you serve as a foundation or "springboard". I select the German coursebook based on whether you are High School student, university student, or working adult.

I supplement each lesson with the following:
1) Online VIDEOs that fully support and interface with the content of each lesson.
2) QUIZLETs I have personally created and are tailor-made for each lesson of the course.
3)Any additional ONLINE LINKS, PDFs, and/or INTERACTIVE practice site that contribute to practice and mastery of each lesson.

All the aforementioned are designed to equally develop the four language disciplines of speaking, listening, reading and writing. The courses can be done in person, online, or a hybrid.

About Me

I look forward to helping you attain proficiency in English/German/French on an ongoing basis. I am a certified teacher of all 3 languages. I initially taught French and German for 12 years (Grades 10 through 12). In the past, I led tours to French and German speaking countries every summer for 10 consecutive years.

I TAILOR-MAKE my lessons for the individual & their needs, so no time is wasted. In so doing, you get more accomplished & get more "bang for your buck." I would be happy to discuss my plan to help you achieve your language speaking goals in person or via Zoom.

Originally from the US, I have lived in Europe for a total of 9 years. As a student, I lived overseas for 2 years; I attended the Université de Strasbourg & was a Fulbright Scholar awarded one year graduate study at the Universität zu Köln. Since 2015, while maintaining my private English, French and German students, I have also been teaching Academic English and German A1 to B1 for Maastricht University's Language Centre.

One of my fortés is the ability is to take any aspect of the language and its grammar and really "break it down" to where you TOTALLY GET IT!
I make learning English/German/French easy & fun!

I hope to meet with you soon / Bis bald / A bientôt!

Isabelle
Tutoring for mathematics, English and German
I am currently studying psychology in English and I am looking forward to having you as a student! Explaining complicated concepts in a simple way is one of my favorite things. I started doing this at school with my friends and have been doing it as a tutor for over 4 years now. I focus on what you need at that exact moment and I also like to use metaphors and mnemonics to make the topic understandable.

Mercure
High School tutoring and language classes and conversations with a native speaker in French, German and English
I offer language classes and conversation from a bilingual native speaker in French and German and also English (C1 certified). If you want to improve your level or need help for school work in these languages (any subject), contact me! I recently graduated from the Lycée Franco Allemand (French German high school) in Saarbrücken, Germany but grew up in a french-speaking household, which allowed me to have a natural, bilingual uprising and excellent knowledge in both these languages. Later on in high school I also improved my English level by studying for 6 months at the Parklands Languages High School in Chorley, Lancastershire. Since I am currently enrolled at the Maastricht Science Program at the University of Maastricht and had been following rigorous scientific education during my high school (Biology and Chemistry specialisation), I can offer tutoring in any classes and especially in the Sciences in English, French or German.

Anne

•Classes are tailor-made to students' needs •My aim is to keep students challenged and to help them achieve their personal learning goals •I assign homework after every lesson •The main focus is on spoken interaction (if not agreed otherwise) •I have experience as a language teacher (all ages, private and group lessons)

Alina
Spanish and German Classes and Test Prep Tutorial.
I specialize in tutoring spanish and german for school and for people who want to learn the languague. It does not matter whether a person is new to this languague or has some experience. I focus on vocabulary, as well as on writing and oral skills. Every person can decide what to focus on.

Sofia
Spanish or German Tutoring with a native spanish/german
Spanish and German are two languages you will probably be willing to learn. As a native spanish/german, I have been tutoring both for the last five years, helping mostly students to get a basic/high level. My goal is to keep students challenged and motivated, providing insights regarding vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing and speaking. I am flexible and easy going, to make the study of your language as enjoyable as possible.

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.

With every lesson she provides lesson material.

German 🇩🇪 ✨ differently for young and old 🤗 with compunction, humor and magic ✨
Möchten Sie Deutsch lernen? If you've always dreamed of saying “Guten Tag” with a mischievous smile, these courses are the perfect opportunity for you to dive into the fascinating world of the German language! 🇩🇪 I can provide academic support for children, as well as individual lessons for professionals or anyone else interested. In Besançon or by video. Usually, I teach a multitude of subjects in alternation, putting priority on the student's wishes. Together we will break through the tangled maze of German grammar brilliantly. 🇩🇪 And to brighten up the lessons, I have a lot of tracks in my repertoire such as humorous poems by J. Ringelnatz or songs. Also, I always find it pleasant to support beginners in their first steps. 🤗📚 My arsenal? An online portal with links and materials that I personalize for each student and a mind map at the beginning to present all the themes I propose. I will send you on request. Some exercises I did myself, often with the help of AI. I can recommend some nifty software and give you incentives so that you can continue learning very effectively yourself. And inspire you to learn the long works of Goethe and Schiller with new vivacity. 💡 My particular passion is German compound words, a real linguistic puzzle! How would you translate Handschuh = "shoe of the hands", Zebrastreifen = "zebra strips", Dachboden = "roof floor" or Friedhof = "court of peace. And for the advances, what is it about with the " Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätssyndrom"? (I will send you answers on request (; ) 🤓🇩🇪 For the curious, what concerns your teacher: Born in Northern Germany and since 2020 in Besançon. Graduate in geography. I have already taught German in various projects in Togo and Kyrgyzstan. I have already taught German in various projects in Togo and Kyrgyzstan. In Besançon, I worked as a German teacher for the "Maison Blanche Formation", a language school for professionals and for the Scops association. 🌍👨‍🏫 The lessons can take place in my apartment in the city center of Besançon, at the student's home, against a possible travel expense depending on the distance or by video. And surprise, I also provide academic support in mathematics, English or multi-subjects. 🎓💻🗣️ So, ready for an extraordinary linguistic adventure? Johannes, the spell master is waiting for you! Prost (that's "cheers" in German) and see you soon! 🌈👋 Johannes
