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.

Sebastian
Fun and Effective German course with Money-Back-Guarantee!
I am a German native speaker and general language enthusiast. Besides German, I speak English, Swedish, Spanish, French, and Italian. Having learned 6 languages myself, I am 100% convinced that I will successfully teach you German (in a fun and relaxed manner)! I have been teaching since 2018 and am currently one of the most-reviewed teachers on this platform. I encourage you to pause here and have a look at my reviews. I am confident that you too will have a similar view after having had some classes with me. On top of teaching here on Apprentus, I have taught offline group classes for the Volksuniversiteit The Hague (A Volksuniversiteit (litt. folk university) is an institute for non-formal adult education in the Netherlands). I also taught for and underwent training with Berlitz, which is one of, if not THE largest language school in the world, operating in over 70 countries and 500+ locations. I am 33 years old, have an honours degree from Leiden University, The Hague, am calm, encouraging, and, most importantly, PATIENT. My main objective in classes is to make the student feel relaxed and at ease. I encourage you to speak without fear of making mistakes. In fact, I celebrate making mistakes. "Why?", you may ask. Well, making mistakes means that you are leaving your comfort zone. You are trying something that you are not already skilled at. You don't choose the easy path! People who never make mistakes are stagnant. Therefore, making mistakes should be CELEBRATED instead of shunned! So, good on you for mispronouncing "Nachmittag (Afternoon)", or using the wrong grammar when making a sentence! Here, let me help you get it right this time! :) Do you already have German knowledge? No problem! Instead of building the basics, we can design classes that meet your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can hold presentations about topics of your interests or topics that I provide, we can discuss current events, hold debates, you can write news-paper article summaries, or we deep dive into advanced grammar. Whatever it is that you enjoy and need: We can do it together. All my classes combine speaking, listening & grammar exercises in interaction with me. Unless you're a very advanced student, we will work with learning materials created by some of the best publishers for language learning in Germany. These materials serve as a red thread for our course that introduces new words, grammar, and exercises in a good pace and interesting manner which keeps you engaged and motivated. Furthermore, I show you German food, music, and places. On top of that, I introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level! Another important factor for me is having a personal connection. Unless you prefer to "stick to business", which is fine as well, we typically start our classes by talking about how the weekend or preceding weekdays have been. I don't see my students as a resource to be extracted, but as people for whom I develop a genuine interest. Over the course of time, we both know what is going on in our respective lives and update each other about small or big life events. Having taught many students for multiple years, I can gladly say that I have made real friends thanks to our classes, some of whom I even have met in real life. I am extremely confident that you very soon will have the same success that I have had in learning languages! So what are you waiting for? Get in touch now to book a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn about you, your needs, and your wishes, which will allow us to design the optimal course for you. See you soon! Bis bald! Sebastian

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.

Hiba
German course from A0 to C2 Level - Exam preperation
Hello dear student, My name is Heba, I worked as a German translator for years, then I worked in 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 this makes me very happy because I help my students stay motivated until they reach their goal because I simply create an individual learning program for each student tailored to their needs. Language skills and needs. So far I have met and worked with amazing students (of different ages) from all over the world. My students achieve excellent results, which makes me very happy and proud! Students often tell me that they have no knowledge of the German language or that they have already forgotten what they learned or that they have a language test soon and if I can help 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. Since I love my job, I support my students via WhatsApp outside working hours and thus I am available to you at any time if you have any questions or need help. So feel free to contact me! If you need more information, 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. I'll see you later
