My experience is international - I have worked in Germany (banking and aviation) and Canada, where we live now. I have coached and taught adult students from 12 countries for 16 years. I have worked with Yukon College as a curriculum writer and instructor. My German language expertise reaches across industries and cultures. I know the German business culture as well as German social norms.

I'm passionate about helping others to succeed, by sharing my knowledge and experience, encouraging and listening. I speak clearly (Hochdeutsch) and check if I've been understood. I understand cultural differences. I want my students to learn in a practical way so they can apply instantly what they've learned: Improved fluency; adequate choice of words; communicating effectively at the professional level. I’ve helped many young professionals to succeed in German-speaking environments, including successful job applications. My tutoring and encouragement leads to actions, utilizing their improved German with colleagues, clients and friends. My German writing and editing skills are excellent.My lessons & teaching style
Interaction is key to learning success. I ask good questions that enhance thinking and learning. I use humour as an important ingredient to remember things better. I want my students to have an interesting and fun experience. Understanding my students' context enables me to tailor lessons to their needs. I prepare lessons well and encourage my students to do the same. I correct my students right away - grammar, pronunciation and choice of words. They will become less nervous, improve their fluency and choose the right words. I give them assignments to apply what they've learned in daily life. I follow up and give constructive feedback. I also share the screen to jointly edit written text.5.0
