Certified Montessori Teacher with extensive experience for Beginners or advanced students Guten Tag! Hallo! Grüss Gott! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany. I earned my bachelor's degree in business/commerce in Germany in 1980. I am an American citizen and have been residing in Florida for over 30 years, my extended family lives in Munich. I am a trained, certified & experienced Montessori teacher, I received my certification in 2006 and taught Pre-school as well as Elementary students in this nurturing environment. I raised my son bilingually. He speaks accent free in two languages. I strongly believe in having fun as well as working hard & reaching the desired goals. IMPORTANT: Please contact me first before booking a lesson online. Thank you very much! I will engage my young students with child appropriate fun game/songs/stories & short videos ( w/subtitles). Most activities are set in English/German with some basic reading skills required. I may also speak entirely in German. My goals are for the children to become excited about their lesson and enjoy their time without even noticing that they are studying and learning a foreign language! I am customizing the lesson to my student's needs/desires/goals & available timetable. The curriculum will be totally tailored to ensure the most successful outcome and will be adjusted according to the student's accomplishments and abilities. I will gently guide/assist & patiently correct. I love to give little insights into the German attitude/culture. I gladly share funny anecdotes/hilarious lite...

I always have wonderful time with Susi during the lessons. I love the way she makes you learn and the motivation she gives you every time. I also like the fact that she doesn’t treat you like as student but like as friend, even like a family member. She makes me feel very comfortable during the lessen and I love working and learning with her. She is an amazing teacher. I consider her as a friend not just as a teacher :))

Susie is a wonderful teacher who makes learning German fundamentals enjoyable and easy to understand The basics of German are inherently challenging, but Susie teaches them in a remarkably clear and thorough manner, starting from the very beginning. Even if it's something as fundamental as the ABC's, she has a gift for making it fun and accessible. Her lessons are highly interactive - rather than one-sided explanations, she creates an engaging environment where learning happens through dialogue and active participation. She also pays careful attention to pronunciation, helping students develop accurate German sounds. Above all, her bright and positive personality fills every lesson with energy and motivation. She truly inspires you to keep learning and gives you the power to progress. I highly recommend her as a teacher!
