Biology for school students, university freshman or anyone interested

25.1 € /h

I got a masters degree in general Biology and in my master thesis I focused on cell biology.
I worked as a tutor in plant and animal physiology as well as in biochemistry.
Generaly we can focus on all biological topics.
Our classes will focus on the topic you want to cover and that is relevant to you.
The more specific your question and topics get, the more important it is for me, that you tell me in advance what you exactly want to study in our lesson, so I can be well prepared. Also it is interesting for me whether you might have your own materials for the lessons or if I should provide them.

Biology for students, beginners or those interested

25.1 € /h

I offer tutoring in biology for schoolchildren, students or those generally interested.
Please contact me before class with the topics that interest you and we can prepare you for exams and presentations or simply discuss general questions about biology.
I have a bachelor's and master's degree in biology. After studying biology, I studied education and have been working as a teacher for 4 years.

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.

Hello, students! I`m a qualified (MA in German Language and Linguistics) and experienced German and Russian language tutor.
I would be delighted to offer one-to-one German language tuition to determined learners, who are eager to build up their current knowledge or to start from scratch, and who are committed to achieving a certain level in a very short time, from beginner level to extensive.

My professional focus is on improving communication skills using fast-track techniques. The pace of my training is intensive and dynamic with focus on developing grammar, vocabulary, fluency and how to use the language in authentic situations

I select a training program individually for every student depending on their level, interests, and goals.

-Active learning of grammar, an extensive conversation practice.
-Creative tasks that will make language learning fun and interesting. You will quickly improve your pronunciation, grammar, speaking, reading, writing and conversational skills.

If you want to improve your language skills or start studying German, you will definitely like my lessons that are individually tailored for each student according to the level and interest and aimed at your success!
Extra information
German lessons include:

- Proper grammar - tenses, conjugations, cases, genders
- Accurate pronunciation and accent reduction
- Vocabulary expansion/ conversation practice
- Developing oral speech.

But! I can change the lessons plan depending on your wishes and purposes.

The lessons look like usual face-to-face lessons at home. Good sounds and video quality, interactives materials,using the chat box, file transfers, sharing screens/links and giving examples,saving time-all this give better results then usual lessons.
Every russian lesson is good-prepaired and well-structured.

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.

The German language is currently in high demand in the labor market, and Germany accepts scholarships for study or work, so learning the German language has become necessary for anyone who wants to study or work at an advanced level.
The German language is not difficult, but it requires effort, regularity, and follow-up with the teacher, as well as making sure to attend classes with concentration.

My knowledge of languages was very crucial. After my husband's premature death I did replacements but after a while I started giving private language lessons. I spoke French until I was six.

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.
