Learn to speak German with a native!
Hello my name is Verena!
I am a German native speaker and currently teaching German at a Language Center in Orlando. I believe in the method of "Learning by doing" which means that I engage my students to actively use the new language, learn in a natural way using real life objects and creating real life situation.
I have a post graduate degree from a German University and worked for several years as a teacher in educational science and was additionally responsible for the supervision of Bachelor and Master Theses in German language.
On these grounds, I am ideally educated to help you with your verbal and written skills in German language. If you just want to be able to have social talks, ask for direction, order food, or if you are interested in intensive language skills - I am here to help you!

About Verena Y.

(21)
Hello, my name is Verena!
I am a German native speaker with a master's Degree in Sociology and am finishing my Ph.D. program in educational science. Before moving to the US in 2015, I taught undergraduate and graduate students at the Faculty for Educational Science at the University of Bielefeld, Germany. Since 2016, I have taught students of different ages and experience levels in German. I enjoy tutoring my native language so much - it connects me to my home country. I believe in the "Learning by doing" method, which means that I engage my students to actively use the new language, learn naturally using real-life objects, and create real-life situations.
Are you passionate about learning German? I am here for you and excited to guide you in learning this beautiful language. If you want to have some basic knowledge to travel, like asking for directions to order food, or to be proficient in studying German - I am an excellent choice to reach your goals.
I have different tools and lots of material to help with your verbal and written skills in the German language. I am excited to meet you for individual lessons or in one of my classes.
Ich freue mich auf Dich/ Sie!
Bis bald und liebe Grüße,
Verena

Guten morgen or good morning. I've had lessons from Verena in the past as I was to be stationed in Germany. Just the short time that Verena worked with me, I was able to hold significant conversations when I went to Germany. I was able to order food, ask for directions to wherever I wanted to go and could even ask for dates! I definitely got my moneys worth. Verena is awesome!!

Wonderful teacher. I learned so much and had fun during our lessons. She is very passionate and knowledgeable and has a great way of making you comfortable even when you feel lost. I will have some more lessons before traveling to Germany next May.
