Benefits of Private Instruction:
• Move at your pace, keeping your goals at the forefront.
• A conversational emphasis ensures you are developing both speaking and listening skills.
• My flexibility lets you set your own schedule; you won’t ‘get behind’ the class.
Lesson Options
I offer a variety of private German lesson options to suit the needs of my clients. I am happy to offer specialty lessons or to adapt any of my courses to focus more specifically on the personal goals and interests of individuals. As my curriculum is more adult-focused, I currently only offer lessons to those 15 years of age and older.
Beginner German (A1- A2)
I have written my own book for beginner students of German. I also incorporate a large amount of conversation and cultural readings to help you become comfortable speaking, reading and writing basic German. At this level, individuals gain the ability to use the present, future and past tenses while developing an approximate vocabulary of 2000-3000 words. Upon completion you will be comfortable communicating on a basic level in a variety of daily situations.
Intermediate German (B1-B2)
I have written my own book for intermediate students of German. I also incorporate a large amount of conversation and cultural readings to help you become comfortable speaking, reading and writing basic German. At this level, individuals gain the ability to use the future, past tenses and conditional tenses. Upon completion you will be comfortable communicating in a variety of daily situations.
Advanced German (C1)
Lessons begin with a detailed review of the core concepts of Intermediate German before progressing on to more advanced grammar concepts such as verb conjugations of the passive voice, subjunctive and past perfect tenses. Lessons are conducted entirely in German to help achieve fluency. Upon completion you will be able to communicate effectively at an advanced level in a variety of daily and professional situations.
