Beschreibung

Guten Tag! Hallo! Grüss Gott! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany. I earned my bachelor's degree in business/commerce in Germany. I am an American citizen and have been living in the USA for over 25 years, my extended family is living in Munich. I am a trained, certified & experienced Montessori teacher, I received my certification in 2006 and taught Pre-school as well as Elementary students in this nurturing environment. I am also holding the advanced program TESOL certificate. I raised my son bilingually, he speaks two languages fluently without any accent. For many years I have been teaching the German language online to students of all ages and levels. I strongly believe in having fun as well as working hard & reaching the desired goals. I will engage my young students with child appropriate fun game/songs/stories & short videos (many with German subtitles). Depending on my students ability & knowledge I may also speak entirely in German. Many parents have told me that their children have become really excited about their lessons and enjoy their time without even noticing that they are studying and learning a foreign language! We are having so much fun together!

I am customizing the lessons to my student's needs, desires, goals & available timetable. The curriculum will be totally tailored to ensure the most successful outcome and will be adjusted according to the student's accomplishments and abilities. I will gently guide/assist & patiently & lovingly correct. I love to give little insight's into the German attitude & culture. I gladly share funny anecdotes and give hilarious literal translations of words. I am working with several different programs which will support either Business German skills or offering study materials to prepare for language tests from A1 up to C2 level, or programs which are useful for traveling purposes & prioritize conversations skills with Everyday German phrases & proverbs - all of them featuring vocabulary/grammar exercises as well as text comprehension. Most programs also offer audio lessons for listening/reviewing at student’s leisure time at home. I strongly believe that working with a native speaking tutor benefits oral communications greatly & will certainly eliminate possible mispronunciations before they settle into student's memory. The student will be able to progress much quicker with one-to-one sessions, one hour of individual tutoring often equals many hours in a classroom full of people. Naturally, the student will have a chance to learn at his own pace. I gladly will develop a lesson plan based on the student's preferences to help achieve the learning goals. Learning a foreign language does not have to be frustrating and tedious - we will have fun meanwhile acquiring new skills! So, let’s start with this exciting adventure into a new language and culture!! I am looking forward to meet you!


Please note: it is always best to check with me before booking on the website. My availability is very variable, I am striving to accommodate the desired lesson times of my many beloved student from all over the world and therefore my calendar changes often. Once you contact me I will be able to inform you of my current availability and I will immediately block your desired time and date on my personal calendar. Thank you!
