In this trial lesson we can first meet each other, assess your goals and create a strategy and learning plan suitable to your needs.

Hallo, schön Dich kennen zu lernen!
Are you a total beginner of German, just starting to learn your first words and sentences or struggling holding a conversation? 
Then I got you. There's no need to be afraid while learning with me. 
Step by step you will progress with grammar, sentence structure, vocabulary and pronunciation. 
With the help of grammar overviews, exercises and a google document in which we practice vocabulary and writing (perhaps your first) German sentences the lessons will proceed in a structured way that I personalize according to your needs.
Pace and content of lessons will depend on your learning style.
As a beginner it is really important to practice as much as you can outside of class as well. Therefore I will send you homework and additional material to review after each lesson. But don´t worry, it's all voluntary and I won't get upset with you if you don't do homework.. Luckily we're  not in school anymore and learning German 1:1 with me is a bit more flexible. ;)

*Lessons are suited for the ages 16 and above*
*Lessons last 45 or 55 minutes to accomodate back to back classes*

German for Beginners A1-A2

Welcome to a fun conversational lesson with me! 
I created this lesson format for you not only to strengthen your speaking skills, but to increase your vocabulary and raise your confidence in German grammar and sentence structure!
What does “5 lessons - 1 topic, different aspects mean”?!
During the past 2 years as a 1:1 language tutor I realized students tend to make the most progress when we discuss 1 topic for a few lessons rather than talk about a completely different topic each time. Why is that? 
The first time you try to talk in a foreign language about a specific topic you will have limited vocabulary. But then - with engaging conversation practice, exercises, me writing new vocabulary and phrases down in a shared google document for you and exposing yourself to a range of materials related to that topic, like articles, quizzes and videos - you will be able to have more complex conversations about it every time. 
You choose a topic that excites you, it may be “health and body” and I create a lesson plan and source material for you. Depending on your needs and language level it may consist of: 
1. Exercise about body parts - Wie heißen Sie? Wozu benutzen wir diese Körperteile? (picture, writing exercise)
2. Role play about being at the doctor (vocabulary help)
3. What do you do for your health? (video inspiration, discussion)
4. Disabilities (article, grammar exercise)
5. Article or video you found while self learning that you wish to discuss

In my lessons there is always time for your questions - about grammar, pronunciation or anything you may want help with. 
New vocabulary and phrases you struggled with will always be written in a google document for you to practice in between lessons and whenever you wish. 
Because lessons include a range of skill practices but the main focus lies on speaking you will soon be a master. ;) I believe in you and will do my best to encourage you and motivate you to keep practicing German in and out of class.

Conversation Practice, Grammar & Exercises - the perfect blend for A2+ / 5 lessons - 1 topic, different aspects

Do you have an important email that needs proofreading? 
Or an essay you wrote for an exam? 
Perhaps you just wish to fine-tune your German writing skills and require a bit of support?

I offer to thoroughly check your text, finding and correcting any errors of grammar, spelling, punctuation and text comprehension. 
Where necessary I simplify sentence structure to ensure clarity of expression and flow of words. 
I understand even after I return the corrected text, you may still wish to make final adjustments. Therefore I will remain available to edit such changes and proofread your text second time without further charge, given the additional changes are within reason (up to 10% of the original word count). 
The 30 minute lesson price includes up to 150 words/ half a page and the 60 minute lesson price up to 300 words/ one page.  I am happy to offer a discounted rate for texts longer than 1000 words/ three pages. 

Please contact me with your text and a description of why and what for you want it corrected.
I'm looking forward to your message!
