About Me

If I had to describe myself as a tutor: I'm modern, fun and stick to interactive learning, meaning there are always some exercises, readings, games or something involved to practice what we learn. Also, I teach through Power Point Presentations, which is way more effective as it embraces visual learning. The reason why I'm tutoring is because teaching is fun and interaction between different cultures possibly the best thing ever.

Education

German Abitur / High School Diploma with major in German, English, French and Politics.
Currently in Bachelor of International and European Law at the Hague University of Applied Sciences.

Experience / Qualifications

Kids: First Aid Qualification, Baby Sitting Course
My tutoring experience accumulates to 6 years since the middle of High School. Mostly, I taught German, English and prepared students for exams. Recently I started teaching students 18+, which has proven to be great as well!

With a university degree in German language and literature (Master of Arts in German with a specialization in medieval languages and literature) and solid experience, I offer private German lessons for all levels and all age groups.
My courses are designed to be adapted to the age, level and specific needs of each individual. They aim to introduce the language, consolidate concepts, fill gaps, and prepare for exams (ECR 8P, compulsory school leaving certificates, entrance exams for gymnasiums, maturity and university exams, Goethe Zertifikat up to B2).

Specifics for academic support:

Since this is primarily a long-term endeavor, I emphasize methodology by taking the time to "learn how to learn" effectively: every exercise is explained in detail, which may make its execution slower. Quality takes precedence over quantity in order to achieve optimal results over time.
Students bring their own course materials (notebooks, textbooks, tablets and/or computers, dictionaries, assessments...).
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.

Specifics 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.

Specifics for exam preparation:

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.

Specifics for listening comprehension:

I primarily use audiovisual materials downloaded from the Deutsche Welle website, which offers a variety of recordings suitable for all levels, with a very practical approach. Over time, students not only gain fluency in listening comprehension but also enrich their basic vocabulary through exercises. I also work with the Goethe-Institut's oral tests to familiarize them with spoken language.

Specifics for written expression work:

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.

Besides my presence with the student, every lesson involves preparation time before and after, particularly for the assignments I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the necessary time to write detailed comments in my corrections or offer advice to maximize each student's success.
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, and I look forward to supporting you in your learning. 😊

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.

I help schoolchildren and adults to learn both German and English. With fun and empathy. What distinguishes my lessons is that I have a lot of patience for my students and practice with them until they understand it. Everyone loves teaching with me. I respond to my students' requests and my goal is to help students make progress without burdening them. I give assignments after every lesson and create regular progress reports.

Möchten Sie Deutsch lernen? If you've always dreamed of saying “Guten Tag” with a mischievous smile, these courses are the perfect opportunity for you to dive into the fascinating world of the German language! 🇩🇪

I can provide academic support for children, as well as individual lessons for professionals or anyone else interested. In Besançon or by video.

Usually, I teach a multitude of subjects in alternation, putting priority on the student's wishes. Together we will break through the tangled maze of German grammar brilliantly. 🇩🇪 And to brighten up the lessons, I have a lot of tracks in my repertoire such as humorous poems by J. Ringelnatz or songs. Also, I always find it pleasant to support beginners in their first steps. 🤗📚

My arsenal? An online portal with links and materials that I personalize for each student and a mind map at the beginning to present all the themes I propose. I will send you on request. Some exercises I did myself, often with the help of AI. I can recommend some nifty software and give you incentives so that you can continue learning very effectively yourself. And inspire you to learn the long works of Goethe and Schiller with new vivacity. 💡

My particular passion is German compound words, a real linguistic puzzle! How would you translate Handschuh = "shoe of the hands", Zebrastreifen = "zebra strips", Dachboden = "roof floor" or Friedhof = "court of peace. And for the advances, what is it about with the " Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätssyndrom"? (I will send you answers on request (; ) 🤓🇩🇪

For the curious, what concerns your teacher:
Born in Northern Germany and since 2020 in Besançon. Graduate in geography. I have already taught German in various projects in Togo and Kyrgyzstan. I have already taught German in various projects in Togo and Kyrgyzstan. In Besançon, I worked as a German teacher for the "Maison Blanche Formation", a language school for professionals and for the Scops association. 🌍👨‍🏫

Classes can take place in my apartment in downtown Besançon, at the student's home, for a possible travel fee depending on the distance, or by videoconference. And surprise, I also offer tutoring in English or multi-subjects. 🎓💻🗣️

So, ready for an extraordinary linguistic adventure? Johannes, the spell master is waiting for you! Prost (that's "cheers" in German) and see you soon! 🌈👋

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 German lessons are tailored to your individual goals and language level, with a particular focus on intermediate and advanced learners. If you already speak some German and want to become more fluent, express yourself more naturally, or gain confidence in real-life conversations, I'd be happy to help you take the next step.

**Conversation Practice & Preparation**
We can discuss a wide range of topics to help you speak more fluently, expand your vocabulary, and express yourself more naturally. If you have a specific topic in mind, we can discuss it in advance so I can prepare useful vocabulary and expressions to help you navigate the conversation more confidently.

This also applies to specific goals, such as preparing for a job interview, a presentation, or another important conversation. I'll help you familiarize yourself with relevant words and phrases so you can focus on expressing your ideas clearly and naturally.

**Writing & Text Correction**
I can help you correct and improve your German texts, explain your mistakes, and suggest more natural ways to express your ideas. This is a great way to deepen your understanding of the language and refine your written German.

**Personalized Lessons**
Do you have a specific goal in mind? We can practice job interviews, prepare presentations, work on pronunciation, or focus on any other aspect of German you'd like to improve. Beginners are also welcome, and we can adapt the lessons to your starting level.

**Learning Materials**
If you have a preferred textbook or other learning materials you'd like to use, we can discuss them together, and I can acquire suitable materials by arrangement.

My teaching approach combines encouragement with honest, constructive feedback. I'll help you recognize your progress while making sure you understand your mistakes and learn from them. Together, we'll focus on the areas that matter most to you and work towards using German with greater confidence and precision.
