My name is Ann (short for Andrea) and I am a German living in Ireland. While in Germany, I graduated in business/economics and English. Afterwards, I lived in England for one year, where I completed an MA degree in Applied Linguistics at the University of Nottingham. I have been living in Ireland since 2012.
I am a very patient and encouraging teacher who loves seeing students succeed. My lessons are always interactive and fun. If you have no idea where to start and what to focus on, I am happy to provide you with materials and ideas.
I have been teaching for over 15 years, both in Ireland and in Germany. I prefer not to teach children younger than 12.
I am a very patient and encouraging teacher who loves seeing students succeed.
My lessons are always interactive and fun. I have lots of different materials, or if the student prefers that, we can have a free conversation too.

I find lessons with Ann very enjoyable and I always learn something to try and improve my German. We review and discuss texts, but also have a conversation about what I have been doing, the weather and other topics. Ann sets me homework, which I send her before my next lesson. We go through this in the lesson to correct my mistakes and understand why I have made the error.
Ann is herself learning a new language and so has insight into how challenging learning and using a new language can be. I am very happy to recommend Ann to anyone wishing to learn and/or improve their German.

I cannot recommend Ann D. highly enough! Every lesson is thoughtfully prepared, engaging, fun, and productive. I like that the lesson time can be very structured or very relaxed depending on the learning goal, and I appreciate how flexible Ann always is when it comes to impromptu changes for whatever material we are working on. I have never been bored with a lesson and always feel like I have my own world-class private tutor. Ann is extremely supportive and patient, and her devotion to teaching the language is evident from the very first lesson, and never diminishes. (I've done over 100 lessons with her, so I know!) Ann is an absolute force that you'll want on your side as you are learning German.

Ann is a wonderful German teacher. She is super friendly, patient, and warm. I always look forward to my lesson and have a lot of fun learning new vocabulary. She makes me feel comfortable making mistakes and I never feel bad if I don’t know something. I’m very grateful to have a teacher like Ann!

I had another lovely class with Ann.
Besides always being supporting and attentive, she provides me with solid explanations that stay with me and help me refine my vocabulary and get rid of my recurring mistakes.
Also, I really enjoy talking to her, our conversations are pleasant and fun.
Thank you, Ann!

Lessons with Ann are very enjoyable. We usually start the lesson by having a conversation about how life is going, the weather, etc. Then we review my homework and Ann sends me the corrected version. Then we usually look at some new text and from this Ann will set some homework. I definitely learn new words, phrases or grammatical points in my lessons with Ann.
