Not sure whether my classes are the right fit for you?
Book a trial lesson with me before you commit to booking a regular session.

In the trial lesson, we can have a little small talk (in German), and get to know each other a bit. Don't worry, I will adjust to your level, so it won't be too difficult for you.
In doing so, you will be able to see how I would normally conduct a lesson. And I will be able to get an impression of your speaking ability, give you some general feedback, and tips, and draw your attention to any recurring mistakes or areas that might need improving that I might notice.

We will also talk about your experiences with learning German, your goals and wishes as a learner, and how we can best achieve them.

Having a look at what sort of classes I offer before booking a trial session to make sure they fit your expectations is much appreciated. I currently focus on:
- conversation practice (A2-C2)
- test preparation (A1-C1 - Goethe, telc, TestDaF) focusing on speaking and writing

Should you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to send me a message.

Please note that, in order to accommodate back to back lessons, this is a 25 minute lesson, and not a full 30 minute lesson. Thank you.

✔️ lose your fear of talking in German
✔️ turn speaking into one of your strengths
✔️ practice with an experienced, friendly teacher in a relaxed atmosphere
✔️ get encouraged by a teacher who will talk to you on your own level, always 
      make sure you understand her, and guide the conversation smoothly
✔️ get help with expressing your thoughts in German (in a natural way)
✔️ get personalized corrections and feedback, and easy-to-understand 
      explanations for questions about the German language and grammar 
      you've always had
✔️ for levels A2-C2

☝️ Depending on how much you want and can prepare for class, the base for our conversation could be one of the following or a combination of them.
        - what's happening in your life at the moment & spontaneous conversation
        - a prediscussed topic that is well suited for your level and interests
        - a prediscussed topic + material that helps you prepare for having a 
          conversation about this topic

☝️  In my experience a 45 minute class is most appropriate and comfortable for most students with this sort of class.

Test Preparation (Speaking) - Goethe, telc, TestDaF * 시험 대비 (말하기)

Please note that with this class, there is no actual lesson taking place. You send me a file of the text you wrote which I then correct, evaluate, and send back to you.

✔️get your writing corrected professionally
✔️get not just corrections but also additional explanations where they are needed
✔️receive suggestions for more natural expressions
✔️receive a detailed evaluation which tells you what your strengths and weaknesses are
✔️receive tips about exactly which areas you might want to work on and improve in

Texts are evaluated in terms of:
- type of text / situation / task adequateness (Did you fulfill the task? Does the language 
  you use fit this particular type of text?)
- coherence (How well are your sentences and paragraphs connected? How good is the 
  structure of your text?)
- vocabulary (Do you know enough words for your level? Do you use them correctly?)
- grammar (Do you know all the important grammar of your level? Do you use it 
  correctly?)
- naturalness (Do you chose the correct way / the correct structures to express particular 
  thoughts in German? Or does your text seem more like a translation from another 
  language?)

Additionally, your text will be evaluated according to this particular test's (Goethe / telc / TestDaF) evaluation system. So you can get an idea about whether or not you would be able to pass.

The class you book depends on text length:
30 min = maximum 100 words
60 min = maximum 200 words
90 min = maximum 500 words

- group size: 1-16 learners
- levels: A1-C1

After extensive self study of second language teaching methods, I ventured my first steps into teaching German as a foreign language by giving online lessons.
My approach being that learning should be as intuitive and fun as possible, I created lessons that were very interactive, almost game-like, with a lot of visual aids.
