    English tutoring / language courses for beginners or advanced levels / Speaking Experiences / (Hochdeutsch) German as a foreign language

    Hello, I am here to offer tutoring or English lessons for all levels. I am American and grew up bilingual in Dortmund, Germany. So, my native languages are English and High German.
    I have many years of experience as an English tutor, having tutored English throughout high school and college. . I also received a TEFL "Teaching English as a foreign language" certificate in a seminar.
    Through my various professional experiences as an experiential educator, workshop leader, language teacher and tutor, I can respond well to a variety of needs and have had a lot of experience with different students and groups in these areas. I have worked a lot with adolescent students from regular schools and young adult students. However, I also have experience with mentally or physically impaired students, groups of migrants and behaviorally challenged youth and am not afraid of difficult tasks as well as new challenges. I have aroused your interest ? Please contact me immediately to get to know me better and to arrange a first lesson. I also offer High German as a foreign language.
    With kind regards
    John

    Extra information

    Own material from school especially workbooks will be helpfull. This is important so that I can see what is being tought, so that you can copy and study the appropriate vocabulary. Also to research and study additional fitting exercises and intensify the learning sucess. It is good to really see what is being done in class at the time and to do the homework together and to deepen problematic subjects.

    Mina
    English teacher with plenty of experience and patience
    If you want to learn English language, I am here to help you. It is not difficult as it may look, but you have to be persistent if you want to reach your goal. Let me show you that English classes can be fun and studying can be interesting. I'm an English teacher for more than six years and I have plenty of experience. At the beginning of the course, studying material is particularly selected for each student depending on their level of knowledge. After the type of course is determined, focus is on the weak spots and improving whatever skill a student is lacking in. Speaking is always emphasized. In class students can suggest other materials, books etc and ask for lessons they want to study. Asking questions is always a good thing and cooperation between teacher and a student is crucial. If you agree, contact me and start your English course today! I'm looking forward to helping you learn English!
