Individualized German Online Tutoring for Business, School and Private

I am currently teaching German on a one on one base through individualized online teaching via zoom or any other online platform. I teach German grammar as well as conversational German and German for business and/or research. Please don't hesitate contact me to find out more about my teachings by asking questions and letting me know about your goals and concerns.
I not only speak German as my mother tongue, but I also have excellent English skills and have taught adults and children in Japan, the USA and France.
While living in Japan, I taught English to biologists of a biotech-company. For this purpose, I prepared current newspaper articles corresponding to the interests of the students and the teaching objectives for the classes.
In class, the students and I used these articles to study the language, discuss the vocabulary and grammar as well as the language style used.
In New York, I did not teach a language, but fashion design at the University (FIT Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC) for several years. All classes were taught in English with the student body consisting of international students, which required detailed preparation of the class. At the High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI), also in NYC, I taught fashion design and creation to students grade 9 - 12. Here too, the lessons were exclusively taught in English. For my teachings, I developed daily detailed lesson plans to not only make sure that the predetermined class goals were easily reached, but also to ensure that the class content was tailored to the students' needs and that a positive learning climate was promoted.

It is therefore aimed at middle or high school students wishing to supplement their lessons with academic support, adults who would like to learn the basics, those who wish to improve their pronunciation and their speaking fluency or, on the contrary, those who wish to train their written whether for personal satisfaction or for a professional objective, to parents who want to introduce their young children to the language, etc. The English language is spoken all over the world and has penetrated many layers of our society, so it is useful to master it.

My past customers range from teenage and adult students, to young and older professionals.

In my lessons, I favour a practical approach (real-life situations) and use texts, videos and conversation to elicit grammar rules and vocabulary. When necessary, the lesson is focused on grammar rules and the correct use of language. This positive approach, along with regular practice, will definitely improve your English and keep it active in the long term.

Learn French and its subtleties. Homework help in all subjects.
After a long career in marketing and communication, I turned to teaching oenology for future professionals and adults. I like teaching the French language and spelling to children (French or who are native of a non-French speaking country) so that they master its writing and speaking... An essential basis for personal and professional life at come.

Gemma
Tunisian Arabic, culture and civilization for everyone
This class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies. It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture. I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

I am an enthusiastic language learner myself and know the importance of a fun and knowledgeable teacher. Because I enjoyed learning with great teachers so much, I'm committed to be that for you in every class as well. With this German class, you will get • a very competent, patient, and fun tutor with years of experience • a very supportive environment • as many opportunities as possible to actually speak German, reflect on it, and improve • 3-4 hrs of homework per lesson (if you want!) • heaps of audio and video material as well as many exercises to help you practise all aspects of the German language • and you will see how manageable the German grammar actually is! Of course, you can adjust the classes to whatever you consider to be most relevant for you! If you like my approach and want to improve your German, write me a message or book a lesson with me! I would love to help you with your German, whether in person or online! You can start right away at any level!

English Tutoring for Adults - Beginners to Advanced
Hello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual. My classes are for adults and professionals, who want to: . Develop and widen their vocabulary; . Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview; . Gain confidence in spoken English; . Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors. After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!

Private lessons of French, grammar and English for middle and high school students
Hello, I am a student heading towards the teaching competitions. I completed my first year of a Master's degree in Modern Literature and I specialize in Teaching French as a Second Language (FLE). I am also preparing for the Aggregation competitions. I am currently in the second year of a master's degree in Comparative Literature at the Sorbonne University in Paris. I give Grammar, English and French lessons to those who need academic support in these subjects. As for my course in English, I validated a Preparatory Class for the Grandes Ecoles, which allowed me to acquire a C1 level in English. My lessons will be based on the student's expectations. I will follow his program closely so that he understands his course well and does not feel in difficulty in class. These private lessons can be accompanied by homework help and in-depth study of the subjects covered in class. I listen to the student and the family to understand the specific needs of each.

Carolyn
German via online courses with a Berlin-born teacher
Hello, As an adult, you regret not having learned German. It is possible to make up for this gap in 30 hours... your motivation will make the difference... As a high school student, you want to prepare for your baccalaureate with complete peace of mind while supplementing and diversifying your knowledge of Germanic culture. As a college student, you need more grammatical knowledge or you lack self-confidence. Ich kann Ihnen behilflich sein! Originally from Germany, I live in Paris and have been teaching my mother tongue there for 20 years. Why German? Its structure is reassuring and formative. Then my students like to hear it other than through clichés. Working with teenagers is also giving them the keys to success. Each being is unique. My lessons are therefore personalized. I use multiple written media ranging from tales to essays, including poetry and historical texts. The grammar is also always there... To try is to adopt!
