"I am a German native familiar with various languages and cultures and I understand the difficulties you face when learning another language. I have lived in three different countries for extended periods of time and have taught countless students from all over the world. I have been living in the U.S. for sixteen years and I am currently teaching all classes online but would also be willing to teach at a mutually acceptable location upon special request.
After completing my formal education as an interpreter/translator in Munich, Germany, I moved to Austria and worked for the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency headquartered in Vienna, Austria. In 1999, I married an American citizen and have since been living in the United States. I have worked in both international and local government as well as the corporate world and have many years of experience as a private German and English (ESL/EFL) tutor. I would love to help you with your German or English language studies and find great satisfaction in improving your ability to express yourself in a foreign language.
Though I try to be flexible with my time whenever possible, I do have a minimum of a 24- hour cancellation policy. Ask about special rates for 90-minute and 120-minute lessons!
I look forward to helping you achieve your language goals. Please do not hesitate to contact me to arrange a lesson and to discuss your personal language background, goals and learning preferences." less...
My special education as a translator/interpreter enables me to go beyond just speaking German as my native language, I am able to understand students and their difficulties in learning the language and have successfully helped many students reach their goals.
