German Language Conversation and Test Prep Tutoring.

I am a native German speaker and can teach A1 to C1 level. My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed. You will learn important and also interesting study strategies that will help you improve your speaking, listening, reading and writing. I usually assign homework after every lesson and keep a record of what we've done and will do for the next lesson. My quizzes and tests will keep you focused on your goal and not a source of discouragement.

very good teacher
Alan is a very friendly and knowledgeable teacher. He was always understanding and worked with me on my weak areas to improve my SAT score. Alan helped me score above my target score in both math and English. He provided his own material and took the time to work on assignments that were unclear even outside of our class so as not to prolong the class. I highly recommend Alan as a tutor and am very glad I found him.
So far the experience on apprentus and the teacher I met is nice!
Studying medicine can be a tough and exhausting journey. I can mentor you to get accepted into medical schools and can also teach you medical school classes, build a strong and solid foundation by teaching you how to break down difficult topics into manageable chunks so that you can absorb them easily. Be willing to work hard and to turn your learning into a fun-filled journey. All ages welcome. I can work with you up to 8 hours per day, 7 days a week. Great results are guaranteed if you are willing to work together with me.
I specialize in tutoring math and English for school and the SAT, GRE and TOEFL exams. My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed. I assign homework after every lesson and provide periodic progress reports. I also keep a record of what we have done for each class. My students improve greater than 150 points on average once they can master the main concepts. Many of them have gone on to attend top universities around the world.
I specialize in tutoring and preparing Chemistry, Physics, and Calculus AB+BC for the AP and also the IB exam. My goal is to improve problem solving ability of each of my students and also to increase their long term memory retention of learning materials. I assign homework after every session, schedule periodic review sessions and quizzes, and provide succinct progress reports. I have many satisfied students, many of which have gone on to attend top universities around the world.

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.

Help with German homework after school (all levels)
Hello, I'm here to help with your German homework! I was educated in the German language from the age of 6 until the end of high school. I later decided to get a certificate from the Goethe Institute to be able to tutor in German. I have years of experience in tutoring French and even English. On occasions the parents of my French students asked me to help them with their German homework, so I naturally decided to offer this as a separate option on Apprentus. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions! Hello, Clementine

Daniel
German Classes. Customised to individual needs. Mulitlingual Tutor certified by Cambridge University.
It is important that a language is lived, not just learned. This is the advantage of personalized German lessons with a private tutor. I have a broad knowledge base in many language backgrounds. Regardless of the language, I think learning is easiest when respecting your unique background and motivations, as well as the intricacies of your mother tongue. Above all, focusing on the commonalities rather than the differences. I believe in a personal approach. This means I will sit down with you and figure out what your goals are, your strengths, and your resources, either in person or via online tutoring. I can: - provide stand-alone lessons with course material tailored to you - support courses by language schools like benedict, inlingua, ils, dialogica... - target practice for exams & certifications like fide, Goethe-Zertifikat, telc, SDS... I have a master’s degree in German Studies, and I am certified by the University of Cambridge. Besides extensive work as a translator, I also have experience tutoring foreign university students, giving courses to expat families as well as tutoring refugees, and even teaching my Czech girlfriend. Not just in English and German, but also specifically working to understand the Swiss dialects.

Aïlen

Debra
Success for French and German GCSE exam-takers (UK)
Are you gearing up towards your exams? Imagine the big difference between just failing to solidly passing your French or German qualification. Being successful in (any) exams is a mix of knowing what the examiners are looking for, knowing how to avoid the traps they set for you and how little magical tricks can boost your marks. And each of the four papers - Written, Reading, Listening, and Speaking - have their own quirks. This ‚exam know-how‘ is rarely taught explicitly in schools. I can teach you to be a super-savvy, as well as building your knowledge of the French or German language, of course, because I know you’ll want to continue with your MFL studies to A‘ Level and beyond!
