Test preparation, beginners of all ages, technologically & culturally interested advanced students. I currently hold a teaching position for German literature, linguistics and philosophy of language. At the end of semesters, I work as a German examiner for universities partnering with the Goethe-Institut. I began teaching German at the private Colegio Humboldt Caracas in Venezuela, where I had moved to collaborate with musicians from the "El Sistema" national orchestras. At the Colegio, my responsibility was the preparation of pupils for their German Language Diplomas (DSD) I & II and university entrance exams (FSP). I closely follow scientific as well as technological developments, so we will never be short of interesting topics. BEGINNERS: You will get a free account on DEUTSCHFUCHS, which is a German learning platform recommended by Germany's BAMF and Austria's OeAD. There, I will assign you targeted homework exercises to help you consolidate and practice what you learn. ADVANCED STUDENTS: We will improve your fluency and vocabulary by talking and/or writing about topics that interest you, and/or by discussing short articles that we read together or in preparation. Targeted grammar exercises will iron out your weaknesses. EXAM PREP: You will learn and practice a highly structured approach with official exams and supplemental materials, until the most challenging exercises become routine for you. All my lesson types and durations are priced equally/proportionally; choose entirely according to your preference :)

German for Children & Homeschool | Native Speaker | 19 Years Experience My name is Esther, I'm a native German speaker, teacher, tutor and educational scientist. Throughout my professional years I have worked with children & adults in different settings: language institutes, after-school support, private school, private lessons and online. My lessons are individually tailored to the student's skill set and textbook-free; I create a script during the lesson in line with their individual speed and area of interest in terms of integrated topics. I could for example teach the same grammatical structure embedded in a description about Pandas, in a scene from Lord of the Rings or in the context of photosynthesis. When working with children and teenagers, I commonly integrate school topics, which gives kids the German vocabulary around relevant topics that they are already familiar with from school. Especially students in international and/or bilingual schools can profit from my after-school/homeschool approach, as they not only improve their German and refine their vocabulary but simultaneously review their school material. I can especially offer classes in Math and the Sciences but also select topics from History, Literature and Philosophy/Debate. Due to the nature of online classes, I don't teach very young children and usually start from 7 and up to 16. If there is anything else you would like to know, feel free to send me a message.

Goethe certificate in methodology and didactics: Trained teacher with over 8 years of experience I am very lucky because I love my profession. But passion alone is not enough to be a good teacher. You also need didactic, methodical and pedagogical skills. For this reason I decided to attend the distance learning course "DaF Methodik und Didaktik" at the Goethe Institute in June 2019. I successfully passed the final exam. I am convinced that teachers need to be constantly trained, too. So they are able to offer their students the best teaching performance.
