Tutoring in German 1st - 5th grade
Learn German in a playful way
Language is important and German can sometimes be difficult for both children and adults. Just think about what it's like for our children when they have to learn things like spelling and grammar for the first time.
​
Children understand a lot very early on, even if they can't speak yet. In my tutoring, I help children from grades 1 to 5 learn German in a fun and playful way. I believe that a good teacher can have a big impact on a child's learning progress and that's why I adapt the learning material to each child individually. ( higher levels upon request )
Language is the key to the world.
Interesting Lectures
I know that it's often hard for parents to find enough time to study with their children. That's why I support tutoring and make learning German a fun experience. We learn together many different things like grammar, spelling, reading, writing, vocabulary, and we also read and analyze texts together.
​
Playful learning: I make German lessons fun and engaging to foster children's interest and motivation. I use games, interactive exercises, and creative activities to make the learning process enjoyable.
Individualized support: I tailor the lessons to the needs and learning level of each child. Through targeted support and individual tasks, I help students improve their language skills and reach their full potential.
​
Focus on fundamentals: I place a strong emphasis on building solid foundations in spelling, grammar, and vocabulary. Through targeted exercises and regular reviews, children reinforce their knowledge and can apply it successfully.
Communication and expression: I support children in developing their communication skills in the German language. Through conversations, role-plays, and creative writing tasks, they enhance their oral and written expression abilities.
​
Learning materials and resources: I provide appropriate teaching materials, books, and online resources to support the learning process and encourage independent learning.
Support and motivation: I create a positive learning environment where children are encouraged and motivated. I acknowledge their progress and encourage them to continuously work on their German language skills. Together, we can discover the joy of learning German and strengthen children's language abilities.
​
My goal is to help the children improve in German and achieve their learning goals. With my help, they will become more confident and be able to express themselves better in German. Come and let's start this exciting learning journey together!
