German is one of my top subjects! I hold a BA degree in German and an MAT as well as having lived and worked in Germany. In tutoring, I will work with any text with which the student requires assistance. When the choice of text is left to me, I prefer the Deutsch Aktuell series. Supplemental reading of children's books, like Charlotte's Web in German, is available if desired, in order to provide grammar and vocabulary reinforcement. I also make extensive use of German language websites such as the German versions of Sesame Street and Yahoo as well as Deutsche Welle.
No, absolutely no pressure at any time. Patience, patience, patience. And there can't be too much encouragement. I aim to foster a love of learning and a genuine interest in the subject matter. It really should be fun, and if it's not, I wouldn't be doing my job.
12 years of one-on one tutoring Latin and German,
5 years of teaching high school German (I have also lived and worked in Germany), and
18 years as a Latin teacher.
While I have taught a wide range of subjects and ages, German and Latin are my current preferred subject areas. I have tutored, or classroom taught, language students from ages nine through adult, including married couples, and currently teach a German four hours per week teens' class.
