Learn German your way! Native speaker offers classes that are fun and motivational

Àpd 39.23 $ /h

Languages are the door to different cultures and perspectives.
I enjoyed this aspect myself a lot and am enthusiastic to share my knowledge with you.
The most important aspect in teaching for me is to make you curious and enthusiastic about learning german. If you have positive feelings associated with the language, learning becomes a pleasure rather than a task!
Thus I will adapt the content to your personal interests, goals and current level.
I have experience teaching german in Bolzano at the "learning center" and in private classes.
We can arrange a talk previously to understand your interests, preferences and goals :)

Présentation

My objective is to encourage you to get exited and curious, so that learning becomes fun instead of a "to-do". What are you interested in? I can provide tailor-made classes for any level and will adjust the classes to your personal interests, needs and goals.

I learned English and French "the hard way" in school and if it wasn`t for me travelling a lot and improving my English, I would probably have forgotten a lot, just like it happened with French. But later I learned SPanish and Italian a different way -a bit like small children do: by listening and speaking in a pleasant environment. And I my goal is to provide you this environment and the right stimuli, so that you can learn German without pressure and negative feelings, but instead with joy and having fun.

German is my mothertongue, but I lived in several different places of the world and so I am also fluent in english and spanish and have a moderate level of italian.

As a background i have a PhD in Mountain Environment, an MSc. in Bionics/biomimetics and a BSc. In mechanical engineering and i did a course to become a wholistic health coach.
I am looking forward to get to know you ;)

Conversational German - practice your German having fun conversations & become confident

30.65 $ /h

You already know some German, but you are shy to speak?
Or you just switch to English or other languages, because it feels just too difficult too explain yourself in German?
I feel you, I have been there too, when learning Spanish and Italian and I can help you overcome this obstacle!
Many reach this point where one gets frustrated, because it seems that you don't really progress any more in learning a new language, you feel just stuck...
But there is a way to get out of it: you need to overcome your hesitation and start talking... a lot.
I will provide you a safe environment, where you can easily start to apply your knowledge and gain confidence in having conversations.
Believe me it makes such a difference :)
Of course I can correct you and help you with a bit of grammar, pronunciation, etc. here and there, but this class is really about you practising to talk and becoming confident.
Feel free to contact me in English, Spanish or Italian (even French, although there my knowledge is quite basic ;) or of course in German if you want.
Looking forward to getting to know you! :)

University graduate in German language and literature (Master of Letters in German with specialization in medieval languages and literature) with a solid experience, gives private German lessons for all levels.
My lessons are adapted according to the needs of the student. They aim to consolidate concepts, fill gaps, prepare for exams (maturity, compulsory school leaving certificates, entrance exams to gymnasiums and universities, Goethe Zertifikat up to B2). Opportunity to learn the language.

For school supports:

This is above all long-term work, which implies on my part taking the time to "learn how to learn" in an effective manner: every exercise is explained in detail, which can make its execution easier. slower. Quality takes priority over quantity in order to obtain optimal results over time.
Students bring their own course materials (notebooks, books, audio CDs, dictionaries, assessments, etc.).
Another important point: in order for my help to be beneficial, it is necessary that the student provides regular personal work between lessons. This essentially involves rereading your notes, repeating exercises similar to those carried out together or even moving forward in learning vocabulary.

For conversation classes:

The topics are based on interests and/or specific needs for exam preparation. I attach particular importance to pronunciation, fluency and vocabulary. I usually correct at the end of a conversation exercise with detailed feedback, in order to avoid any blockages and to work on fluency. Depending on the level of the students and/or their expectations (exam preparations/assessments/desire for improvement for example), I work on the choice of appropriate words, grammatical accuracy, the ability to formulate more or less complex sentences.

For exam preparations:

The courses offer to acquire solid tools to learn to write, to comment on literary texts and a methodology to work on oral comprehension. The student must bring their own exam preparation brochure, available in all bookstores. For Goethe Institute model exams, the exam books from Cornlesen are particularly suitable. The other alternative would be to download and print before the start of the course a copy of the Goethe Institute exam available on the institute's website.

For the oral comprehension:

Work from audio-visual viewings downloaded from the Deutsche Welle site, which offer various recordings adapted to all levels, with a very concrete approach. In the long term, the student acquires ease not only in oral comprehension, but also enriches his basic vocabulary through exercises. I also work on the Goethe Institut oral tests to familiarize myself with speaking.

For the work of the written expression:

I begin by explaining in the first lesson some methodological tools to acquire writing skills. The student has the opportunity to start writing during the course or do a writing exercise on duty and give it to me to correct (send by email or at the beginning of the next lesson). The corrections are explained in detail. In addition, at the time of booking, the student can send me a draft copy before the lesson so that I can meet his needs even more quickly.

Apart from my presence with the student, every lesson involves preparation time before and after the lesson, particularly for the work that I correct. My goal being to design an individualized course, I take the time necessary to write detailed comments on corrected work or advice to ensure maximum success for everyone.
In addition, each student can contact me at any time outside of class by email if necessary.

Feel free to contact me for more information. :)

In my one-to-one online courses, you will find a room just for yourself, where you will be coached within a German-speaking setting. Each lesson depends on your needs and aims, which may be to improve a specific linguistic feature such as pronunciation, grammar, spelling, or vocabulary. Or it may be to work on a specific goal, e.g. an official language exam, finding work in German-speaking countries, or bureaucratic issues. Or it can just be a conversation to gain fluency.
In our class, I will also point out what you can do during the week to further improve your German language skills and get closer to your goals and I will hand out to you the study material you need.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

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.

As a certified examiner and experienced trainer for German (foreign language), I prepare you individually for the telc German and Goethe certificate exams.

Why with me?
I know the telc German exams and Goethe certificate exams in detail. You will not only learn the parts of the exam, but also the best strategy for solving each part of the exam and the tasks.

Efficient preparation:
As a rule, 10 appointments are enough if you already have good prior knowledge. We focus on you passing the exam.

Ideal if you already have good previous knowledge. In just 10 appointments you will learn the exam format, the tasks and the best strategy.

Do you need more time before the exam?
Do you still have gaps, your knowledge of German is not sufficient or you have been living in Germany for a long time and it has been a long time since your last course? We will then add the most important topics relevant to the exam so that you are optimally prepared.

Hello dear student,

My name is Hiba, I worked for years as a German translator, then I worked at 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 it makes me very happy because I help my students stay motivated until they reach their goal by simply creating an individual learning program for each student, tailored to their language skills and needs.
So far I have met and worked with wonderful students (of different ages) from all over the world.
My students are achieving excellent results, which makes me very happy and proud!
Students often tell me that they have no knowledge of German or that they have already forgotten what they have learned or that they have to take a language test soon and if I can help them 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.
Because I love my job, I support my students via WhatsApp outside of working hours, so I'm available anytime if you have any questions or need help. So don't hesitate to contact me!

If you need more information, please 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.
See you

Learning about people isn't easy, but it's not necessarily frustrating. Once I was in Austria, after I had completed my studies at the age of four, I understood the difficulties students faced and my subsequent encounters.

During my time, I developed practical strategies to help the apprentice of any clear, natural, and pleasant person. I focus on oral expression and comprehension, and explore the fundamentals of grammar and vocabulary within their context.

The courses are based on your pace and interests, including exercises that help you practice speaking, build your confidence, and prepare you for exams if you decide to take the test. After telling a story in German, your grammar wasn't particularly good.

Each course is tailored to your needs, with a mix of discussions, exercises, and concrete examples that you can memorize. My goal is to help you progress with the rule, maintain your motivation, and understand the training process.

Flexible scheduling allows you to easily fit the course into your week, whether after school, on weekends, or in the evenings. Book a course and start learning a method that works for you, including all sorts of tips, tricks, and practical advice.

Learning German can be easier: I support children (approx. 6-12 years old) with reading, writing, and spelling, patiently, systematically, and in a positive learning environment. We first work together to identify where they're struggling, and then practice exactly what's currently important for school. It's important to me that your child not only completes tasks "correctly," but truly understands how to learn more confidently and independently. We celebrate small steps forward, because they make the biggest difference.
