Individualized German Online Tutoring for Business, School and Private

I am currently teaching German on a one on one base through individualized online teaching via zoom or any other online platform. I teach German grammar as well as conversational German and German for business and/or research. Please don't hesitate contact me to find out more about my teachings by asking questions and letting me know about your goals and concerns.
I not only speak German as my mother tongue, but I also have excellent English skills and have taught adults and children in Japan, the USA and France.
While living in Japan, I taught English to biologists of a biotech-company. For this purpose, I prepared current newspaper articles corresponding to the interests of the students and the teaching objectives for the classes.
In class, the students and I used these articles to study the language, discuss the vocabulary and grammar as well as the language style used.
In New York, I did not teach a language, but fashion design at the University (FIT Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC) for several years. All classes were taught in English with the student body consisting of international students, which required detailed preparation of the class. At the High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI), also in NYC, I taught fashion design and creation to students grade 9 - 12. Here too, the lessons were exclusively taught in English. For my teachings, I developed daily detailed lesson plans to not only make sure that the predetermined class goals were easily reached, but also to ensure that the class content was tailored to the students' needs and that a positive learning climate was promoted.

Brigitte is a fantastic teacher! She came well prepared and brought source material for me to keep . She clearly knows sewing inside and out . In addition to learning the main subject of hand sewing she had lots of tips for other parts of construction as well. Highly recommend !
I absolutely adore my time spent with Brigitte. Not only is she an incredibly skilled sewing instructor, but she also goes above and beyond in imparting her wealth of knowledge about the fashion industry, fabrics, and materials. This aspect has been invaluable to me, considering my lack of formal education in fashion. Brigitte's expertise shines through as she generously shares extra insights from textbooks, which have proven particularly beneficial in my endeavors, such as creating corsets and stays. Moreover, her guidance extends beyond mere craftsmanship; she educates on the importance of accurately pricing garments to ensure profitability—a testament to her comprehensive approach. Thanks to her mentorship, I've experienced significant growth and am eagerly looking forward to advancing further under her tutelage.
She is amazing and kind! Look forward to a long journey of learning with her! Absolutely recommend her, she is spectacular with kids.
Hello, my class with Brigitte was great, we went through the basics and we shall thus continue once I am able to practice a little more. She was organized, kind, and took her time to teach me every detail of how to use the machine; and some basics in patters/ sewing patterns.
Brigitte was encouraging, inspiring and informative. I look forward to keep working with her.

I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am. Are you curious about how nature works? Let's explore together!

Gavin
Cours d'anglais particuliers à Paris (présentiel ou EAD)
Hello ! Je m'appelle Gavin et j'ai 25 ans. Je viens de Seattle (Etats-Unis) et j'ai un Master en littérature anglaise et j’ai un certificat TEFL. Ce que je peux vous offrir : - Cours pour adultes et adolescents adaptés à votre niveau et à vos objectifs (de B1 à C2) - Cours de préparation à l'IELTS, CAE, TOEFL et autres examens - Cours de conversation - Business English (l'anglais des affaires) - English for Academic Purposes (l'anglais à des fins académiques) Je vais vous apprendre comment l'anglais est parlé et utilisé dans des situations réelles et quotidiennes. En nous concentrant sur les quatre compétences (lire, écrire, parler et écouter), nous pratiquerons des techniques de conversation tout en affinant votre grammaire, vocabulaire et prononciation. Le contenu peut porter sur des sujets que vous intéressent, qu'il s'agisse de petites conversations, de littérature, de cinéma, de politique ou de vos devoirs d'anglais. Quoi qu'il en soit, l'objectif principal de nos cours sera normalement de parler et d'écouter, mais je vous encouragerai toujours à vous exposer à autant d'anglais que possible en dehors des cours, que ce soit en regardant YouTube en anglais ou en lisant un journal. Normalement, les exercices de grammaire, de vocabulaire et d'écriture seront faits à la maison, sauf indication contraire de votre part. Je ne vous dirai pas « c'est comme ça ». Si vous voulez travailler sur votre grammaire, je serai heureux de vous aider à travers des explications et des exercices significatifs spécialement choisis pour vous, votre niveau et le type d'apprenant que vous êtes. Nous pouvons organiser des cours chez moi dans le 14ème arrondissement, en ligne via Zoom, à votre domicile ou encore dans un café si vous voulez. I look forward to hearing from you and to a successful collaboration ! Gavin

homework help - private lessons in English, French and Spanish - childcare
Hello, I offer academic support in all subjects from primary to secondary school, as well as English and Spanish lessons. A doctoral student in geography at the Sorbonne, I am familiar with the educational and academic system. I would like to use my experience through personalized monitoring of a student. In particular, I am able to provide assistance in methods of learning and assimilation of knowledge. I myself benefited from homework help during my schooling, my father is a university professor. I have already provided homework help to primary and middle school students, and I have taught at university. It seems important to me to be able to put oneself in the student's place in order to understand what they do not understand and to adapt the help to measure. Through my research work abroad, I acquired a good command of English and Spanish. I therefore also offer private English lessons. I am also available punctually, or regularly in the evening, to babysit. I already have experience in babysitting.

English Tutoring for Adults - Beginners to Advanced
Hello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual. My classes are for adults and professionals, who want to: . Develop and widen their vocabulary; . Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview; . Gain confidence in spoken English; . Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors. After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!

Dipikaben
English Language class A1 &A2 for Children and Adults.
My teaching methodology normally starts with a warmer discussion about students’ well-being and their problem-solving questions. Then, I will lead them to the target chapter of english with interactive inquiry-based learning and cooperative learning-based tasks. Moreover, I prefer to use an activity-based playful learning approach so that my class becomes more energetic rather than boring. In the English language learning, you will have to idea about the Sentence structure and puncuation, Basic grammatecial tenses, and how to write, read, listen and speak.

Tunisian Arabic, culture and civilization for everyone
This class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies. It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture. I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

French lessons with a french native for all levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
My name is Audrey! I'm a student in international relations and Chinese foreign languages at INALCO. Because of my studies and having traveled a lot, I know how difficult it can be to learn a foreign language and how difficult it can be to overcome certain levels. That's why I offer you my help! I am a French native from Poitou Charente in the west of France and I studied in Paris. I now live in Taiwan (Taipei). For several years, I have been teaching French to children and adults of all levels. I have accompanied Koreans, Iranians, British, etc. My goal is that you enjoy learning French and reach your goals. The course will be totally personalized and adapted to your needs and interests. I will also introduce you to the French culture during our lessons (current events, highlights of the year, etc.) because in order to learn a language you need to understand the culture of the country. My classes will focus on the five skills: speaking, writing, listening, reading, and grammar. Of course, if you wish to work on only one aspect in particular, this will be possible. We can use the material you have or we can also work with the resources I have. At your request and according to your needs I can give you homework to continue your efforts outside of our classes. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I will be happy to discuss with you your expectations, your goals, and my work method. I look forward to helping you in your quest to master the French language. See you soon!

English conversation classes and homework help
Student in M1 Public Law at the University of Paris-II, I completed part of my studies abroad including my third year in Japan and a final year in the United States. I give conversation classes and homework help classes in English. The courses are mainly intended for students with a beginner or intermediate level. Depending on the needs indicated before the session, I can adapt to all requests and create tailor-made courses in listening comprehension, reading comprehension and oral and written expression. For conversation classes, the goal is to help you express yourself both on a given subject and in everyday life. Classes can be done alone with me or in a group. For homework help, I mainly offer help for school levels up to the bachelor's degree. Having completed part of my law studies abroad, I also offer more specific courses on law subjects studied in English.
