Hallo!
Ich heiße Ruth, komme ursprünglich aus Wien, aber lebe schon länger in Berlin.
Mit Sprache zu arbeiten, ist meine Leidenschaft - ich unterrichte seit 2018 als ausgebildete Lehrerin Deutsch als Fremdsprache, sowohl in Gruppen- als auch Einzelunterricht und bin auch in der Filmbranche als Drehbuchautorin tätig.
Hi!
My name is Ruth, I'm originally from Austria, but I have been living in Berlin now for quite a while.
I love to work with language - since 2018 I have been teaching German as a foreign language and have experience working with groups and individual students. Further to this, I also work as a professional screenplay writer.Me as a Teacher
Mein Unterricht ist zielorientiert und strukturiert und mir ist es sehr wichtig, die Inhalte genau auf die Wünsche der Schüler*innen abzustimmen.
Ich achte darauf, meinen Teilnehmer*innen die Zeit zu geben, die sie brauchen und den Unterricht mit Humor und Kreativität zu gestalten. Gleichzeitig liegt mein Fokus darauf, die deutsche Sprache mit Präzision und Klarheit zu vermitteln.
My lessons are goal-oriented and have a clear structure. It is very important to me to tailor the content to the students´ wishes.
I make sure to give my students the time they need and I also use humor and creativity to activate learning. At the same time, I take great care to communicate clearly and concisely.My lessons & teaching style
Ich arbeite sowohl mit Lehrwerken und ergänze sie durch weitere Materialien und ich gestalte aber auch selber Unterrichtsunterlagen individuell für meine Student*innen. Im Unterricht spreche ich bevorzugt nur Deutsch, kann aber auch gerne auf Wunsch Inhalte auf Englisch erklären.
I work with textbooks and supplement them with other materials and I also design many teaching materials individually for my students. In class I prefer to teach in German only, but if requested I can also clarify something in English.
Es macht mir eine große Freude mit mit Sprachschülerinnen- und Schülern zu arbeiten und Inhalte, sei es Vokabular oder Grammatik, interressant und verständlich zu vermitteln.My teaching material

Another excellent lesson with Ruth. We looked again at two part conjunctions and the use of verb nominalisation. Ruth gave examples and encouraged me to think up my own. Lots of listening to comprehend and plenty of opportunity to talk. And while doing this, I was explaining how to make Shepherd's Pie!

I've only had two lessons with Ruth, but each one has been so well-planned with an astonishing amount of consideration for my interests and language needs. I am really impressed with the quality and diligence of her preparation, as well as how well-executed each lesson is.

We looked at two part conjunctions such as "einerseits...,andereseits...; entweder...,oder... and weder...,noch...
We looked at the use of these in on-line news headlines to get a feel how they are used. A very useful lesson.

Excellent lesson looking at a recent German news story. Watching video clips helps me understand spoken German better and Ruth always helps explain the words that I do not understand.
