German Lessons in Bouckville. Amazing Teachers.

I have a Master’s degree in German Philology and have been teaching German for over 15 years. I have also taught at the Humboldt Institute and Goethe Institute in Germany.
During my years teaching, I taught a variety of students with varying levels of knowledge. I have experience with beginner students who are just learning the language to advanced students applying for high level careers in Germany. I always create a fun, friendly environment for my students and have encouraged many students to continue their studies in German language. I also achieved a 100% rate for students studying and passing language tests.

I grew up at the Northern tip of the Black Forest in Southwestern Germany and have spent most of my childhood vacations at my grandparents' in the Eifel region, close to the border with Luxemburg. Therefore, I got to grow up with standard German and two quite distinct dialects of German.

Once I started teaching German to refugees and did an internship in a university German class I started to become aware of the intricacies of German grammar and vocabulary and saw it with new eyes. Frankly, I may not be able to explain ALL grammatical phenomena, but it will be my pleasure to explore and expand my knowledge of German with you.

We can discuss what life in the German-speaking world is like, explore German literature and music, and along the way have a look at the grammar, vocabulary and prosody you may need to talk about those things.

Los geht's! :)
