My comments on tutoring German : basic to conversational German

I am a native German (lived in the Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Berlin area) who moved to the US in 2006. I am available for tutoring basic to conversational German language. Disclaimer: Although I am not a certified language teacher (but rather a university science teacher) you'll get the benefit of a native speaker.

I usually take a comfortable pace with my student, determining their needs, and intensify my approach as needed. Teaching is, for me, a way to guide a student closer towards the information they seek by showing new and creative ways to approach information.
