What level of German do you teach?
I teach all levels, from absolute beginners (A1) to advanced learners (C1/C2). Whether you’re just starting out or refining your skills, I’ve got you covered.
Can I book a free trial lesson?
Yes! I offer a free 20-minute trial class where we can discuss your goals and see if my teaching style suits your needs. You can easily schedule this through my live calendar.
How do I schedule and pay for lessons?
Scheduling is simple—just check my live calendar for available slots in your time zone and book a lesson. I work Monday – Friday, I do not offer classes on the weekend. Payment is made securely online, and I offer flexible payment options, including discounted lesson packages.
What platform do you use for lessons?
I offer lessons via Google Meet or Skype. After payment, you can book an appointment and choose your preferred meeting platform. Just leave your email and Skype name if you prefer Skype, and we’ll connect there!
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! I have a flexible rescheduling policy—just let me know 12 hours in advance, and we can reschedule your lesson. If you cancel later than that, I will charge the full hour as it limits my ability to use the slot for another student.
How long does it take to see progress?
Progress depends on your current level, goals, and how much time you dedicate to practice outside of lessons. However, most students start noticing improvement in as little as a few weeks with regular lessons and homework.
How many lessons per week do you recommend?
It depends on your goals. For general learning, I recommend at least 1 lesson per week. If you have an exam coming up or want faster progress, 2-5 lessons per week might be better.
Do you provide learning materials?
Yes, I provide learning materials tailored to your specific goals. You’ll receive worksheets, exercises, and homework assignments (if wanted) designed to help you progress quickly.
What language will the lessons be in?
Lessons can be conducted in English and/or German, depending on your preference and proficiency level, ensuring clear communication and effective learning.
Do you offer exam preparation?
Absolutely! I can help you prepare for various exams such as Goethe, DaF, or GSCE. Just let me know which exam you’re working towards!
What teaching methods do you use?
My approach is interactive and practical. I focus on conversation and real-world language use, while also ensuring you understand the grammar and structure behind it. I use a mix of personalized materials, multimedia resources, and exercises.
Do you assign homework?
Yes, I assign optional homework after each lesson to reinforce what we’ve covered. This could be reading, writing exercises, or short speaking tasks to keep you practicing between lessons.
What equipment do I need for the lessons?
All you need is a laptop with a reliable internet connection, a microphone, and a webcam. I’ll provide all the materials online, and you’ll also need to be able to type in a Google Document that I’ll share with you during the lesson—it will become your personal workbook.
What makes your lessons different from others?
I focus on personalized learning—every lesson is tailored to your goals, pace, and learning style. Plus, as a native German, I’m passionate about sharing my culture and language with you, making every lesson unique and motivating.
