Top 10 % Tutor On Wyzant, Native German Speaker: Business, College, HS
I love teaching because I constantly see how students thrive if they have the right tools to learn German. I believe there is no such thing as being bad at languages. It's rather that there are many ways to teach a language the wrong way. In my classes German is comprehensive, fun and yet straightforward. I like to find ways that make learning German easier, more simple, and time-efficient.

Engaging, fun and very experienced
Dorothee is such a wonderful german teacher for my 11 year old son! He already speaks German as I am talking German to him (and so are his grandparents), however he hasn't learned to read fluently nor does he have a concept of grammar or writing. Dorothee is wonderfully in-tune with him and ready to up the pace when needed. I highly recommend Dorothee!

Our daughter had tutoring lessons with Dorothee for AP German and did fantastic on her exam. Dorothee is very patient, punctual, and easy to work with.

Very pleasant, very professional tutor
I have already learned how to conjugate an important regular verb. She showed me an excellent technique to remember how to conjugate regular verbs. I acquired some new vocabulary words. We practiced my pronunciation. I feel very positive about our first lesson.

Dorothee is a very experienced AP German tutor. She knows the test itself inside out and also has a very good understanding of the standardized test-taking process. She is a native German speaker who fundamentally understands and expertly teaches the rules of German grammar as well as test-taking techniques that will help my son master any standardized test. Dorothee takes her job as a tutor seriously, while always being friendly and maintaining a good sense of humor. I highly recommend Dorothee!

Encouraging and Knowledgable Tutor
I have been doing German lessons with Dorothee for a couple of months now and I feel that I am learning fundamentals that were not well taught in the University. Dorothee is patient and positive, her teaching style helps reinforce concepts. I highly recommend her to beginners like me who haven't used German in almost 20 years.

Great tutor!
This was my first lesson with Dorothee and I absolutely loved it! She was patient, very thorough, and very encouraging. I am looking forward to my second session next week.
Yulia, 3 lessons with Dorothee
Phenomenal tutor
I’ve been working with Dorothee to perfect my German. I already speak German at the C1 level, so I requested she work with me on refining both my oral and written German. I have been impressed by the variety of exercises she uses to communicate specific grammar points. No two lessons are the same and I definitely feel myself making strides after only a few weeks of focused work. I highly recommend her as a tutor!
