Lessons tailored to your personal and professional needs. Whether you're an advanced learner or an absolute beginner: with me as your teacher you'll speak real German from the start. If you're a beginner, I'll teach you simple, useful sentences. You'll talk like a German from Lesson 1! If you're an advanced learner, we'll chat naturally, so you get speaking practice. During our conversations I'll observe your weaknesses, and then we'll address those with specific exercises. With realistic roleplays you'll reach your practical learning goals fastest. I'll be your customer, client, boss, co-worker, opponent, patient or neighbour. We'll put the focus on communication. The purpose of a language is to understand and be understood. I believe that communication is more important than perfection. Don't let the German grammar daunt you. We'll learn it along the way and won't allow it to hinder your progress. Let's chat about your favourite topics - be it business or science, rock music or opera, animal rescue or nature, medicine or technology, sports or poetry, work or travel. We'll have such stimulating conversations that you'll soon forget that you're speaking in a foreign language. Originally from the southeast of Germany, I've worked in many countries. As a book author I've published many books, mostly non-fiction books and ghost stories. I have my own business. My hobbies are reading, organic gardening, arts, history, nature walks and training rescued cats. I have been teaching part-time for forty years, write books and have my own business. I give mostly private tuition, online workshops and courses in adult education. II hold City&Guilds certificates for teaching adults, and have around 5,000 hours teaching experience. Please note that I teach only adults. Do you think that I might be the right teacher for you? Then I look forward to hearing from you.
