Thema von InteresseTechWissenschaftSchreibenMarketingLesen

I am a passionate language learner and teacher. For me, languages are a great way to learn about the world, about different cultures, and different people. Languages open doors, both professionally and personally. I have been teaching private lessons to local immigrants for nearly 20 years. I love reading, nature, learning languages, and sharing my native English with everyone who is interested in learning!

Ich als Lehrkraft

I have a university degree in Linguistics, with a specialty in Second Language Acquisition, and a minor in Spanish. As a teacher, I believe that speaking (and making mistakes!) is the best way to make progress in learning a language. After all, talking with people in English is the goal, right? For some people, speaking might not be the main goal, and if that's you, send me a message and tell me what your goals are, and I will create an approach based on your goals. For students 12 and under, please contact me BEFORE scheduling the first lesson. If you cancel a class with less than 24 hours notice, you still need to pay. You are preventing another student from using that time.

Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil

It's important to talk, and it's okay to make mistakes. The more mistakes you make, the faster you will learn! Our lessons will be conversation based most of the time, even when we are focusing on certain grammar or vocabulary. I have a set of courses (beginner to advanced) that can guide you if you prefer a more structured environment. If you have materials (from school, or another resource you want to use), we can work with that. I don't normally give homework unless a students wants it. Everything we do will be designed for you, and tailored to your level, your goals, and your interest. Let's make your learning journey fun! Please note that 60 minute classes are only 55 minutes.
