German Tutoring – your path to learning German
All German Lessons are held in Standard High German.
Most lessons are based on books following the European Standard of Language Learning. These books are bought by the student and provide material for one to two years of learning. Beginner and intermediate students will learn all basic language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. It is an option to shift the majority of the emphasis toward conversation for advanced students.
All lessons are tailored to the student’s needs and his/her basic knowledge of grammar. It is not unusual and often helpful to have a grammar concept explained first with an example in English. Many students experience that they understand the grammar of their mother language for the first time by learning a second language.
German Instruction for Adults
All ages and skill levels can benefit from private lessons. During the lessons, speaking, listening, reading and grammar are emphasized.
You have an important influence on the speed of your progress. Students who spend twice a week, 30 to 60 minutes at home, advance almost twice as fast as students relying completely on the lesson itself. However both student types will be accommodated and will learn.
German Lessons for Children
Children who have learned to read and write can start learning German with an age-appropriate book. Younger children learn in a more playful setting using games like Memory, Go-fish and adjusted game ideas from Rummikub or Dominos and others. Older children still enjoy some of the more intellectual games but will have more traditional instruction and more dialogue exercises.
High school children can prepare for American tests, like the AATG Tests, AP German Test or for German tests such as DSD 1 and DSD 2.
Tutoring for Businesses
Owners, managers and employees can enjoy learning a language inside the company without the hassle of driving to a school. Language learning is motivating and fun amongst one’s colleagues and adds to a company’s attractiveness. Single or group lessons are available.
