Native Tutor with University level experience

Judith J.

Hallo und guten Tag! Schön dich / Sie kennenzulernen. (Hello and good day, nice to meet you.)

I am a native German speaker with several years of tutoring and mentoring experience working with students of different ages and backgrounds. I have tutored students from elementary through high school in Germany across a variety of subjects and have also provided German language tutoring to non- native students at the university level.

I served as a German Mentor at the „University of Maryland Language House“ and as a tutor for the „Duke in Berlin Exchange Program“. In these roles, I supported university students through one-on-one language guidance, organized educational and cultural activities, and helped create an engaging learning environment for students from diverse backgrounds. These experiences strengthened my ability to adapt my teaching style to each student's individual goals and learning preferences.I am also raising a bilingual kid, so teaching German is somewhat part of my daily life currently.

My teaching style is personalized, patient, and interactive. Whether you're learning German for school, university, work, travel, or as a hobby, I strive to make each session both effective and enjoyable. As a native speaker, I can help you improve your speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, and pronunciation while building the confidence to use German in real-life situations. I just recently moved back to the U.S. so I am also confident to provide plenty of cultural guidance as well. I am confident teaching all levels, as the students I have taught so far always have been at mixed proficiencies as well. So please feel comfortable to take a lesson with me no matter your German level.

Hoffentlich bis bald und alles Gute! (Hopefully see you soon and take care.)
