Translated by GoogleSee original

From 29 € /h

I offer sustainable and individually tailored tutoring in German (including German as a foreign language), literature, and history. Thanks to my many years of experience teaching students of all ages and learning levels, as well as a wide range of personalities, I know how to convey learning material in an understandable, motivating, and structured way.
As a doctoral student with a solid background in linguistics and literature, I quickly recognize where support is needed and respond specifically and sensitively to the needs of each student.
Whether it's tutoring, exam preparation, proofreading, or language practice for adults—my lessons promote not only knowledge, but also the joy of learning and lasting skills in writing, speaking, and understanding German, as well as in dealing with literature and history.

Extra information

As a doctoral student, I am proficient in German at the highest level. My doctoral subject is art history, which gives me extensive historical expertise.

About Me

I take great pleasure in providing others with clear and fruitful support in their learning needs.

I am not only motivated to do so, but also qualified, thanks to my profound (as well as numerous and varied) academic and social skills and experience, which I have gained as a doctoral student at the University of Hamburg, through my above-average academic achievements and through my many years of experience as a versatile tutor.

My comprehensive familiarity with learning mechanisms, methods and difficulties, as well as coping strategies, is particularly valuable for providing empathetic and patient tutoring.

Education

PhD candidate at the University of Hamburg (art history, philosophy, animal studies); Master of Arts in Philosophy; Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies (Buddhism) and Art History; Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Psychology.

Former professional stage dancer (classical and modern ballet) and choreographer (classical and modern ballet).

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching students of all grades in languages, humanities, arts and other subjects since 2020. In addition to school pupils, I also teach university students, professionals and other interested parties. I also worked as a tutor at university.

English is like my second mother tongue (and I also took English as a proficiency course in my A-levels). In French, I am also very proficient. Russian I had as another proficiency course in my A-levels.

I hold Bachelor's Degrees in both History and Political Science (from the University of Florida), as well as a Master's in Political Science, specifically European Politics (from KU Leuven).

I have extensive experience in a wide range of historical and political subjects and have always had a keen interest in history and the social sciences. Additionally, previously I have been a journalist (dealing with Competition Law) and currently am an editor working on a wide variety of subjects for organizations such as the UNHCR and Goethe Institut, among others.

I am capable of teaching and lecturing on numerous historical and political events and periods in history, with myself having specialized in European history, American history, African history, as well as the Medieval period and Antiquity.

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.

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.
