Bio

I am a native German speaker with a Masters Degree in Education. I have many years of teaching experience in German and ESL. I am a skilled and fun German tutor. In my opinion, being a native speaker is a minimum requirement for a good German tutor. However, I also believe that just being a native speaker does not mean you are also a good teacher.

I am a native German speaker with a Masters Degree in Education. I have many years of teaching experience in German and ESL.

I am a skilled and fun German tutor. In my opinion, being a native speaker is a minimum requirement for a good German tutor. However, I also believe that just being a native speaker does not mean you are also a good teacher. For that, you need teaching skills. I offer both, as I also have a Master's degree in Education. Furthermore, I have many years of hands-on experience teaching German both to individuals and groups. I have even designed and taught my own German course. I also believe that teaching a foreign language must be mostly immersion focused! Individualization is also key. Finally, I make the lessons fun and use lots of visuals, role-playing, and games.

I am also available to tutor ESL. Having once been an ESL learner myself, I have a lot of empathy and a clear understanding of the challenges involved in learning English as a second language. Once again, I utilize the immersion method, role playing, and games.

I look forward in helping you achieve your goals. I love to teach and am totally committed to giving you my best.

Excellent tutor/instructor! Knowledgeable, patient, and very personable

Conversational German Language. All aspects of German language: grammar, pronunciation, translation, writing, and everything needed to fluently communicate in the German language. Brigitte is a great tutor/instructor and hope to continue lessons in the coming weeks.

Diane, 65 lessons with Brigitte
Tutor responded:

Thank you Diane! I really enjoy the lessons.

Connects well with her students.

My teenager son connected right away with Brigitte. At the end of the first session, my son told me she is great and she is the kind of help that he needed.
