About Me

Experience Summary

I have worked for almost fifteen years with students from all walks of life who desire to hone their language skills for many different reasons. My experience goes back to coaching, teaching, and training high-ranking professionals on a one-on-one basis to assembly-line workers in need of foreign language skills to better their careers, to students trying to get a decent grade in college, to privates with an interest for foreign cultures and a love for words, literature, and different lifestyles.The languages I have most often taught are German, Italian, ESL, and Koine Greek. Along with the mere teaching of these languages, I often engage in interpretation or translation as the needs arise among my clientele. Besides teaching foreign language I also offer International Cultural Training for expats from and to the US.

Teaching Style

Depending on the needs and skills of the students, I will adjust my teaching style. Hence, it can range from being very structured to the loose conversational interaction where I intersperse grammar as needed throughout the instruction. Also, I apply visual and oral methodology with highly interactive elements in all of my lessons, so that the students get exposed to as much real-life situations as possible in grappling with the language. The target language takes center stage from almost the very beginning. During the first few sessions, if students begin from scratch, it will be unavoidable to use English. Eventually, however, the goal will be to get students to communicate without the aid of English.

My Hobbies

Family, reading, theology, sports, and travel.

International Cultural Trainer (ICT): For many years I have been offering courses to expats from and to the US with respect to general cultural challenges professionals might face when working for their respective companies in the US or abroad. In these trainings (which I also offer tailor-made if requested) we discuss topics such as culture and culture shock, political and historical profile of the respective country, daily life and how to function in society practically (including spare time activities and sightseeing), opinion/stereotypes, core values, self-image, social interaction and public behavior, business interaction and etiquette, language aspects and communication in general, family, children, health care, school system (education), ethnic or racial issues, and religion
