I'm glad you're here! Please check back in September when I'm back to teaching here full time!
I have 5+ years of tutoring/teaching experience in German, Italian, and Spanish. I'm largely self taught and a speaker of 11 languages w/ a degree in German studies. I understand not only linguistic challenges, I know psychological struggles that hold us back (perfectionism, self criticism, guilt, heritage languages, etc.). I help others learn, and coach going from overwhelmed and stuck to resilient, confident, consistent, and uncovering how to be authentically you in your languages. When not teaching, I travel, post YouTube videos (https://www.youtube.com/@languagetraveladoptee) and dance!
Ik als leerkracht
I structure students' lessons not only keeping their learning style in mind, but also focusing on who they are authentically behind their language studies. Therefore, building long term student relationships is very important to me and my work. I love sharing tips that will compliment language learning habits in general. I find different ways to explain a concept and understand how to energize my lessons through new material, and will always leave time for students to tell me about any mental hurdles I can help them through while learning. I am very patient, compassionate, determined and flexible to only offer the best in helping students reach their goals, beginner or advanced.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I will avoid using English as much as possible (if the target language is not English, that is) and urge my students to do the same, unless otherwise noted. I will adapt our conversations to what you enjoy talking about and/or specific grammar points of the language you want to focus on. I will give out homework, usually from PDFs, slides, or other resources, that include grammar, writing, listening, and/or reading (if you want to focus on one in particular, don't hesitate to tell me!).
*****When you contact me for a lesson, please include what you believe your level to be, how long you have been learning, your language background, and what type of learner you are.

I do really enjoy talking with Emily, she is such a nice person and so easy to talk to. If anybody wants to practice English, German or even Spanish and Italian, stop the search and just book lessons with Emily :))

Emily is very patient and encouraging. She has helped me increase my range of vocabulary and German phrases and I always enjoy my conversation classes with her. She can also help with resources for self study. I highly recommend her!

Today I completed a trial lesson with Emily. I often get nervous speaking in German because I don't have many opportunities to use the language, but Emily asked a lot of great open ended questions that were challenging and interesting. She also provided me with real-time feedback in the chat. I felt really comfortable speaking with Emily and booked more classes right away!
