German for Beginners A1-A2

Welcome to a fun conversational German class 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 as well!
What does “5 lessons - 1 topic, different aspects mean”?!
During the past 4 years as a 1:1 language tutor I found that students progress the most 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, me writing new vocabulary and phrases down in a shared google document for you, practice tesing exercises 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

We will have time for your questions and for feedback every class.
New vocabulary and phrases you struggled with will be written in a google document for you to practice whenever you wish. I recommend the use of "Anki" as a spaced repetition learning app.
Because lessons include a range of skill practices but the main focus is 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 B1+ / 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!
