German Lessons in Janesville. Amazing Teachers.

Insights into culture of German-speaking countries from a teacher who has actually lived there and has been visiting for over 40 years.

I am a native German speaker. I was born and raised in Munich ( Germany) I have 10 years experience in teaching kids and adults. I also speak Turkish, Spanish and Portuguese. I had 5 years of Latin in School. I love working with kids and teens because I like to motivate them and support them. My lessons are a mix between fun learning and focusing on the individuals needs and questions. I focus mostly on grammar and vocabulary but my student will also engage actively in everyday conversation in the foreign language. I do give homework.

Jawohl! I love the German language and sharing it with others! I have spent time living in both Austria and Germany, and have learned the language and culture inside and out by living with host families. I love integrating my knowledge of German culture into my lessons, in addition to making sure students get their basic vocab and grammar skills. The best way to learn a language is to use it!

Hi there!
My name is Cassandra. My journey as a German speaker started off simple.
I'm a native English speaker and I took German in college without knowing a lick of German beforehand.
I later studied abroad in Vienna, Austria, and fell in love with the place - so much so that I moved there the next year in 2016 after I became A1 certified in the German language.

While residing there, I taught piano privately to children who only knew German, as well as taught English to a family who only spoke German and French.

I went further and took a language exam from the ÖSD in Vienna and became a certified B2 speaker in the German language.

I believe languages are a wonderful thing - they help us understand one another and expand our minds - helping us to grasp concepts which may not exist in another language.

I am here to help you become the best German speaker you can be :).

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! :)

I love all things German and my aim is to encourage my students to feel the same. I've been teaching German for 5 years. My students go from knowing no German to being able to hold conversations to eventually completing their grad studies in a German speaking country!

Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to introduce yourself and before you know it be a German whizz. I try to base my lessons around modern German pop culture typically using current events as inspiration. My lessons feature video links, audio, worksheets, textbooks, and more.

I offer different time options to suit your needs and am also happy to discuss group lessons if you wish to learn with your partner/family member/friend. Please reach out to discuss pricing options for those.
