English language (academic, business, conversational); university-level English

English is fun! My 5-year experience of English tutoring is here to turn boring grammar rules into an interesting journey. I strongly believe motivation is a key to mastering a language: my task No1 is to make sure my student is motivated to learn English.
We will unpack your goals and set both short- and long-term targets in order to achieve them. We will be approaching the language from all possible angles of learning: reading, listening, speaking, and writing.
To those aiming at studying at a university in English, I have my own strategy to share! Academic English is not as scary and complex as it seems; while writing academic papers can seem like a tricky task at first, constant practice and good guidance can do wonders. I am here to help and guide you!

Do you need help with navigating the major schools of International Relations (realism, liberalism, constructivism)? Do you struggle with understanding the ongoing political developments on both global and domestic scales? Do the subtleties of International Law seem challenging? In my class, we can thoroughly unpack all the difficulties these questions pose. I am a graduate student of International Relations at Central European University (CEU) in Vienna, Austria. The coursework I have undertaken during my undergraduate and graduate studies has allowed me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the following academic fields: International Relations, Political Science, and International Law. Additionally, my professional experience of working at the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly First Committee has awarded me first-hand inside knowledge of the most global international organization - the United Nations.
Academic writing can seem like a challenging task. However, I believe there are tools you can easily master in order to turn academic writing into an enjoyable (!) activity. My vast experience of writing countless well-graded academic papers is here to walk you through consistent writing practice. In my class, we will unpack various questions regarding writing styles, research techniques, successful paper structures, quality content, as well as the art of convincing argumentation. I am also offering my detailed feedback on the academic pieces in progress.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

Claire
French/English and Translation Teaching (Private)
Dear Sirs and Madames, I gave private tutoring for a long time during university. As a student of human rights and then as a project worker I have already given language courses for refugees so that they can study successfully. (Learning buddy program: Start with a friend). Now I teach my native language in Vienna. After my work as a project worker, I was an intern at the Advocacy Section of the United Nations where I was responsible for translations on a daily basis. In the course of my work, I have worked with other teachers and developed my own teaching methods. In order to guarantee an effective education for the students, I offer varied lessons with oral and written exercises that correspond to the students' goals. Sincerely yours, Claire.

Sara
Private German classes in Vienna AND online: Learn German from a professional teacher online or face-to-face
I'm a highly qualified and experienced translator and a language teacher for German and Hungarian. Being a translator and a polyglot enables me to see languages and their grammar systems from a different angle than 'regular' German native speakers or school teachers. Based on my training and my regional expertise I also provide a variety of language support services for German. I have taught both in the private sector and in numerous language schools, adults and children of different ages. I can offer German to B2 level since I live and work in Vienna for more than 20 years now. I came here to study and made my Bachelor's degree in Transcultural Communication and a Master's degree in Translation and Terminology Sciences at the University of Vienna then settled down with a good man and built a family. I also have a teaching qualification for 'German as a Foreign Language' from the University of Kassel in Germany, and didactic training on the renowned BERLITZ-method for 'Native Speaker Language Teachers'. Usually, I work from home, where I have a vast library of teaching resources such as worksheets, textbooks, picture dictionaries, flashcards, games, and lots of books for Beginners with Hungarian-German-English parallel texts, short stories for Easy Readers, etc. I use varying tutoring approaches, because no two learners are alike, whereby enjoyment is an important factor in my lessons. I very much like to use the latest technology and teaching techniques, but also have an extensive compilation of German-language games, cards, songs, short stories, videos. I'm fond of and really appreciate internet sources to teach German, for I do believe that learning German can be fun. I aim to foster a friendly but professional relationship with each of my students, to build their confidence and self-belief when they learn a new language. German can be an extremely challenging language and as an experienced German tutor, I really can help you learn it. A private tutor is there to provide the support you need to enhance your language skills, especially your communication skills, and give you confidence in speaking the language. One-to-one language lessons can make grammar become far more accessible, together we'll sharpen your passive skills in reading and listening, and practice your active skills in speaking and writing. * Why choose me? * 20 years of teaching experience A multitude of Teaching/Learning Materials Explanation in English, German or Hungarian University trained translator and language teacher Flexible schedule, available also on Saturday and Sunday Very patient and always supportive, with a good portion of humor 1-to-1 classes in Vienna 2nd, outdoors in the city center, and online

French language, English language, German as a foreign language
"How many languages you speak, the same number of times you are human." (JW Goethe) This quote from the German writer is more relevant today than ever. By learning new languages, we learn about new cultures, make new friends and discover new opportunities. I offer exciting and high-quality lessons in French, German and English. I promise not only to memorize grammar rules, but also to work with authentic materials from the homelands of these languages, games and quizzes, and even songs. You can master complex topics with fun and enjoyment. I have experience teaching children online and offline and am always incredibly happy to share my knowledge.

English as a foreighn language for children and adults
English is a language of international communication. Every person sooner or later needs to use it at some point in his or her life. I am here to help you to improve your general level, learn new vocabulary, grammar and build up your conversational skills regardless of whether you need English at work or for everyday life. I also work with children and help them keep up with the school curriculum in a fun and entertaining way. With adults we discuss a wide range of topics and learn new interesting things using English, with children we play games, sing songs, do crosswords and even try to move around a bit at times. I work with A1 to C1 levels online or at student's place. Whatever your English needs are, I am happy to be contacted and see you at my lessons :)
