English tutoring / language courses for beginners or advanced levels / Speaking Experiences / (Hochdeutsch) German as a foreign language

From 320.18 CNY /h

Hello, I am here to offer tutoring or English lessons for all levels. I am American and grew up bilingual in Dortmund, Germany. So, my native languages are English and High German.
I have many years of experience as an English tutor, having tutored English throughout high school and college. . I also received a TEFL "Teaching English as a foreign language" certificate in a seminar.
Through my various professional experiences as an experiential educator, workshop leader, language teacher and tutor, I can respond well to a variety of needs and have had a lot of experience with different students and groups in these areas. I have worked a lot with adolescent students from regular schools and young adult students. However, I also have experience with mentally or physically impaired students, groups of migrants and behaviorally challenged youth and am not afraid of difficult tasks as well as new challenges. I have aroused your interest ? Please contact me immediately to get to know me better and to arrange a first lesson. I also offer High German as a foreign language.
With kind regards
John

Extra information

Own material from school especially workbooks will be helpfull. This is important so that I can see what is being tought, so that you can copy and study the appropriate vocabulary. Also to research and study additional fitting exercises and intensify the learning sucess. It is good to really see what is being done in class at the time and to do the homework together and to deepen problematic subjects.

Italy has a lot of charm because of its diverse culture: the language, the Renaissance, the opera music, but also Laura Pausini and the Bolognese sauce :-)

Italian, with a degree in "Languages and Literatures" (I am fluent in French, English and German), I have extensive professional experience as a language teacher.
My strengths:
- Since I am multilingual, I know all the good tips to really master a language (if I can do it, you can too!)
- I'm serious, but I also have a sense of humor. During my classes, we never get bored.
- I'm open to different solutions: I can also teach you another language at the same time (verbs in Italian and English at the same time? Compare their usage? No problem!) or even cook with you: Bolognese sauce? Why not?
Bye for now !

Hi, I'm Michael. I'm from Switzerland but I spent most of last year in Brazil, where I was doing research for my PhD in history and where I was once again in the position of learning a foreign language – a valuable experience for any language teacher. Languages are my passion, whether learning or teaching them.

I have over 10 years of experience in teaching German as a foreign language on the most diverse level, in language schools, high schools and even a prison. Thus I can offer tailor-made individual classes. The pillar of my practice-based method is that the students use the language on topics and situations that are really important for them, be it daily-life situations or specific topics they need vocabulary for. Of course, grammar explanation and practice is important, too. And there is also a place for fun, through learning games, German songs etc.

My classes offer gentle and personalized support for children with languages, homework, and schoolwork. Lessons are adapted to each child’s age, level, and learning style, helping them build confidence, independence, and a positive relationship with learning.

With a multilingual approach, children are supported in language development as well as in understanding school subjects and completing homework in a calm and encouraging environment. Special attention is given to each child’s individual needs, including support for children on the autism spectrum.

The goal is not only academic progress, but also helping children feel safe, understood, and motivated to learn at their own pace.

Adults benefit from my calm and focused teaching style. I explain German phonetics and grammar with particular care. I flexibly adapt the pace and content to the individual's life situation and goals.
I work with young people in a clear, direct, and respectful manner. I can explain complex topics simply and quickly recognize their thought and learning patterns. This allows me to effectively support them when they are stressed or uncertain, without putting pressure on them.
