German Native Speaker – How to learn German the easiest way

From 40.49 $ /h

Hi,

my name is Chris and I am a German native speaker with over five years of experience in teaching German. My career as a tutor started in 2015, when many refugees from Syria escaped to Germany due to the war. I started teaching my new Syrian friends the German language, helped them with their writing and reading skills and got them used to the new strange grammar, and what can I say: Many are talking German fluently, have gone through an education, and most of them are working now.

I am also working professionally as a freelancer, tutoring German for one year. In this year I have taught German to German school children that needed some help in grammar and more sophisticated German text writing and to adults from abroad who are preparing for German exams like the Goethe-Zertifikat for language levels from A1 up to C1. In the end I had many students of all ages that wanted to get proficient in the German language, including speaking, writing, reading, comprehension and grammar.

If you are such a student, then you have found your tutor!

You will get the following from my German classes:

• Individual plan:

I will create an individual plan with you, depending on your needs, wishes, goals and previous experience in the German language. This reaches from improving your speaking skills up to fully understand all the difficulties of the German grammar.

• Patience:

I am very patient and I will always adjust to your individual speed and goals. Languages take their time and I know that all too well.

• Homework:

If wanted, I will give you homework each lesson

• Material:

I will gladly share all the material that I have with you – and that’s a lot.

• Flexibility:

I know that lessons can be cancelled due to various circumstances. You can always contact me and we will postpone your lesson or cancel it, no matter the time of cancellation.

If I am the one you are looking for then just leave me a message or book a lesson with me.

P.S.
I am only tutoring online, mostly I am using tools like Zoom, Skype or Google Drive.
Furthermore, I can teach you German in fluent English and Russian.

About Me

I have a lot of experience in many subjects, reaching from technology over social sciences up to economics, and of course tutoring.

I decided to do tutoring professionally one year ago, because it is the job that makes the most fun to me. I love to work with people, to see their improvement and to have a personal connection. I already noticed this when I worked many years with refugees in order to teach them the German language voluntarily, for one year I am following this path now.

Also I am doing my own social projects and my main goal in life is to help the poor and downtrodden. If you are interested in that, then we can talk about these in a more detailed manner.

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. :)

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.

Whether you are a complete beginner or want to refresh your knowledge, I have designed this course as a practical immersion to break down the language barrier.

You will learn to construct correct sentences from the very first lessons, master pronunciation, and understand key grammatical structures without getting bogged down in theory.
