German

I am a native German speaker and I teach German online and in person. I use a fun story book series that has been written in German for English native speakers (beginners as well as advanced students) to introduce new vocabulary and grammar. Depending on your background, I will add grammar theory and exercises as needed. My teaching style is flexible and your input is very welcome! Don’t hesitate to suggest a topic of your interest. I have covered many varied topics upon request (the news, music, human anatomy,….). I also assist students with their assignments, prepare them for tests and help them improve their grades. I aim to quickly identify what the student is struggling with, and look for alternative ways to explain the topic.

Anna is wonderful - adaptable, helpful, and a natural teacher!

I have been taking a weekly German lesson with Anna for about 6 months now and she has drastically improved my breadth of knowledge in so many ways. She is excellent at adapting the lesson to focus on your needs and wants while still maintaining consistent learning opportunities for the things we all struggle with like grammar and speech. I struggle so much with the nitty gritty of German grammar and Anna has been instrumental in helping to break it down easily and incorporates grammar practice into every lesson we have. She brings new exercises and readings for us to work on every week and is great at letting me come to the answers on my own while still guiding me. I would absolutely recommend her - I will be her student for as long as she teaches! She's kind, flexible, intelligent and a natural teacher. Ich habe Glück, dass sie meine Lehrerin ist!

Kind, encouraging, and pleasant

Anna is the kind of tutor that I believe will help me achieve my goals if I put in the work! Highly recommend if you’re self-motivated with an interest in languages (at any level!).

Was wäre ich ohne Anna?

I came to Anna as maybe an A0.2 German speaker, I had done some minimal self study but had no practical ability with the language. I wanted to jump straight into an intermediate level German class at my college and Anna has been instrumental in making that jump successfully. I’m not exactly a linear learner, I like to jump around and find interesting corners of knowledge and Anna is always willing to go on those little side adventures with me. Whenever I’m not understanding something or have questions she’s ready and able to provide further explanations so that I get a grasp of the concept. She has exercises prepared and informative presentations that layout concepts succinctly and clearly. The learning environment is low stress, I make tons of mistakes and Anna is always constructive with her corrections. As with learning anything, and especially a language, the student has to push the process forward and challenge themself. I’ve found Anna to be a great partner in both providing exciting and interesting challenges, as well as accepting ones that I bring to the lessons. 10/10 would recommend!

Oustanding!

Anna's approach to teaching German is very effective! As a motivated student, my experience is that she does outstanding work figuring out where I lacked as a learner before beginning to learn from her and where to fix any deficiencies I may have had in the past. She is friendly and always has answers when there is a question during a lesson.

So sweet and fun to work with!

Anna was such a helpful and encouraging tutor. I had a strange request that she was more than willing to help me with. I loved working with her and will hopefully be back to learn more!

Great teacher

Anna is very patient and know the material very well. I recommend her! She explains well the grammatical intricacies of the German language and uses a very good textbook for teaching German. I encourage students to reach out to her.

Professional and Knowledgeable German Tutor

Anna has been my one-on-one German instructor for the past year. We meet on a weekly basis for an hour and a half during which time Anna works with me on my comprehension, written and verbal skills in the German language. She is constantly striving to push me to the next level of language acquisition. As a French linguist myself, I am amazed at how Anna, who speaks four languages, navigates the intricacies of the German language with such ease. Each time we meet, it is quite apparent that Anna has thoroughly researched and prepared the lesson in advance. She is an excellent German language instructor!!
