German Lessons in Barkhamsted. Amazing Teachers.

I'm a native German living in the United States so I'm able to communicate with you easily.

I've learned both the Berlitz method of teaching and teaching adults with the General Assembly method.

Berlitz Method: this lets you approach a new language in a natural fashion. In my classes you will speak and hear German the same way you would if you moved to Germany. It's an immersive experience.

General Assembly Teaching: I've been taught how to teach in an effective style that makes learning fun.

I am born and raised in Germany and speak the language fluently.
Furthermore, I moved to the US 3 Years ago and I know the struggle with a new language very well therefore I am very respectful and insightful with my students.

Since I moved to the US I have an American girlfriend who is now able to talk german in a proper way only trough me teaching her. After being with me for that time she gained a lot of confidence and considers herself bilingual.

I have experience with languages and grammar, and I know that everyone learn in a different way, for some people is easier than for others. My challenge is to find what is easier for you.

What is my approach? First of all, I listen carefully, very carefully. I believe it is important for an excellent job to know precisely what my client wants to accomplish. Understanding this is the prerequisite to give good advice, guidance and then, of course, a plan, a kind of strategy to follow in order to reach these goals. There will be a permanent interaction between my client and myself to monitor the progress, eventually speed up the tempo or, if necessary, to slow down.
There is no dogma; there is only one main criterion: success.
