My name is Alicia Carter. My family immigrated from Germany to the U.S.A. in the mid 19th century, and I have always been fascinated by Germany and its culture. In high school, with the guidance of an excellent German teacher, I fell in love with the language itself. I studied German at the College of Wooster, earning a B.A., then went on to earn an M.A. and Ph.D. in German language and literature at the Ohio State University (in 2003). I began teaching the German language as a Teaching Assistant at OSU in the early 1990s, which means that I have been teaching German at the university level for more than a quarter century!
Ich als Lehrkraft
In the words of Joseph Campbell, we human beings do best when we "follow our bliss." Throughout my adult life, teaching, and particularly teaching German, has been my bliss. I was fortunate to recognize teaching as my vocation when I was in college, and l had excellent training in language pedagogy when I was accepted as a teaching assistant at Ohio State's graduate program. I am at my happiest and most fulfilled when I am teaching a language class, whether face to face or online (a modality in which I became proficient during the Covid epidemic). For years I have had excellent teaching evaluations from my students, whether in the classroom or in one on one tutoring.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I was trained in the communicate method of teaching. I believe that conveying meaningful communication is at the heart of learning to use language. I am able to adapt my teaching methodology and activities to individual students with different learning styles and abilities. My goal in teaching is to encourage all my students, to help them overcome the inevitable fear of "making mistakes," and, in fact, to help them understand that making mistakes and learning a language go hand in hand. I believe that humor and laughter are vital to helping students be comfortable and motivated, and during my years of teaching I have had tremendous success creating a classroom where students feel safe.

🤹♀️🎉🤗 DEUTSCH FÜR ANFÄNGER (A1) 🤗 GERMAN FOR BEGINNERS (A1) 🤗 ALEMÁN PARA PRINCIPIANTES (A1) 😊🎉🤹♀️
I asked Alicia to go over something I had written in German, so we spent this lesson time reviewing my writing. She gave helpful feedback and clear explanations (mostly around where I got confused on the cases). She also helped answer some questions on entomology and dialects. It's lovely to have a teacher with so much knowledge and curiosity for the language.

Alicia is an amazing teacher! I have been doing lessons with her for almost 2 months and the speaking practice has helped me improve a lot already, just through having entertaining and open conversations. Alicia is very patient and engaging during these lessons as I improve!
