I graduated in German linguistics, literature and culture (Bachelor and Master) from the Sorbonne University in Paris and studied one year in Berlin at the Freie University and one year in Munich at the University of Munich. I have been working as a translator from German and English to French for 7 years for various companies and institutions including the EU. Fluent in German, English and French (my mother tongue), I understand the struggle and difficulties of learning languages. German may appear daunting and intricate but is in truth quite logical if you have the right tools and technique to apprehend it. I developed along my years of studying efficient methods to properly and effectively learn a language and can confidently advise you on how to go about it as well as suggest medium to include German learning in your everyday life. We can come up with a study plan together that suits your way of learning, preferences and rhythm. I am fully flexible and will adapt to your goals and expectations. Don't hesitate to ask me any further question! :)

Hi, 😄 French is my mother tongue, and I would be happy to accompany you in learning this language. I can easily adapt to your needs, what you want to learn, as well as the type of tutoring that suits you the best. From simple discussion to grammar, we can work on what you need! :) For German, I will be able to give lessons to beginners. I believe that German has complex rules, and having learned them myself, I hope to be able to help you in your beginning! I hope to meet you soon!

Hey Everyone! I am offering lessons to help you improve or freshen up your English/German no matter what your current level is. To start we will first talk about your experience and current skill level and then look at where you could improve on. We will discuss which areas you want to focus on, where I can prepare materials for you to get you more secure in speaking and writing the language depending on what your goal is! I will then personally create and structure the lessons for you and help you wherever possible :) Some sort of Homework or exercise will be introduced but of course in a fun way. If you want to focus on writing I can give you practice writing exercises and we can go over these together! I am very flexible with the time so just leave me a message I would appreciate it :)

I motivate, encourage and guide people in learning and finding solutions to achieve their own goals in an efficient and focused way. Due to my broad experience and high general level of knowledge, in addition to pedagogical / didactic support, I can also provide extra lessons in all alpha subjects of secondary education and guidance of students in the preparation of exams and writing theses.

If you are a beginner or an intermediate student and find it difficult to speak and understand German, I can help you. In our initial course, we will discuss your language skills, your objectives and the methods I use. I will teach you the language structure (grammar, vocabulary, reading, and speaking) through interactive materials. I have teaching experience in language schools and as a private tutor. You can read more about my courses. See you soon! À bientôt!

Math: I teach based on needs of students, mainly elementary, middle school and IB math, help with homework and helping students get additional help to meet their study goals. I teach English at any levels, focus on communication, grammar and enriching vocabulary.

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.

Some Reviews: Chevaan: Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter. Brian: Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time. Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language. Afeisha: Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her. Egle: Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

Hello interested students! I offer German classes for all ages and levels of proficiency. My goal is to help students learn the language in a fun and effective way. I assign homework after every lesson and provide rich teaching material. I am here to keep you motivated on the rewarding path of learning German. Whether it is for work, school, university or out of personal interest, I can support you! I also specialize in preparing official language exams. More concretely, my specialties are: - Beginners: structured learning of grammar you need right away and practice of new knowledge in our dialogues. Vocabulary is taught through our conversations and in word groups. - A1-B2 exam preparation (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages): based on practice material by the Goethe Institute, innumerous websites and own material - Learning by conversation: you can’t stand looking at too much grammar because it’s just not for you? The answer: talk and type! We’ll share a document with all our dialogues. - Refresher training: I can help you get back on track by letting you talk as much as possible. We can also go through grammar and conversation topics that you need to revise. The day of getting rid of pesky repetitive mistakes has come! You are lucky since brushing up on your German with me will be fun! - Children: they can be the most demanding students regarding learning methods, but I know how to capture their attention and make them excited for more German! Structure of lessons: From experience I know that continuity is key. Therefore, I encourage you to do a little (almost) every day. At the end of each level there will be a test to check if you are ready for the next level! I am looking forward to meeting you ! .

Hi! My name is Sophie I am 26 years old and originally from Cologne, Germany. Currently I am studying at the Politecnico di Milano. I have been lucky to study abroad for my University education in the Netherlands and Italy. When learning new languages the most important part for me has been practising together with native speakers. Often the most important factor for mastering a new language is confidence. I can help you reach this confidence by practising English or German in a relaxed setting. And don't worry I also speak Italian so when really necessary I can also explain things in Italian.
