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.

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.

We had a general conversation about the weather and the cost of electricity. We discussed how my teacher's apartment is heated on a communal system. Then we reviewed a video clip about an art work which was good listening practice and then we discussed it. I learned several new words. Again a very enjoyable lesson.

We talked a lot which is what I need with listening exercises too. Ruth is flexible, a pleasure to converse with and provides useful feedback.

We talked in German about people, who for us have been mentors.
We reviewed a film clip, without the sound, and I had to answer questions that Ruth had given me about the clip. This made me pay close attention to what I could see in the clip and then I had to use my German to answer the questions.
Ruth is sending me homework on relativsätze which we will review next week.
I find Ruth's lessons are helping me to speak more German and they introduce new vocabulary every time.
