EQUIPMENT
PLATFORMS
WHER TO MEET?
The weekly lessons will be conducted on Zoom. I prefer Zoom because it is easier to use for teaching German and often provides better sound and video quality compared to other platforms.
INTERNET SPEED
WHAT DO I NEED?
A 16 Mbits download speed is entirely sufficient for online lessons. Therefore, if you have a standard internet connection suitable for streaming movies, you are ready for your first online German lesson. A LAN connection (cable) is usually faster than Wifi!
CUMPUTER
SCREEN & CAMERA
To enhance your experience during German online lessons, a larger screen is always beneficial. I use an iMac for my tutoring sessions, but a laptop works just as well. Ensure that your screen or laptop is equipped with a camera.
SOUND EQUIPMENT
DO I NEED A MICROPHONE?
Good audio quality is crucial. A better microphone will help me understand you better, thereby improving the quality of your German lessons. While a headset is not mandatory, it is recommended. Headphones may be necessary if you use a small laptop with internal speakers."

WHY BOOKING AN ONLINE COURSE?
Navigating the intricacies of German grammar can be a challenging task, especially in a traditional classroom setting. For those who find themselves grappling with complex grammatical structures, my bilingual (German and English) grammar lessons offer a tailored solution.
DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH GERMAN TEXT BOOKS?
In the traditional classroom, understanding grammar concepts can be overwhelming, leading to frustration and hindering the learning process. My approach breaks down these barriers by providing explanations in both German and English. This dual-language strategy bridges comprehension gaps, ensuring that students grasp the nuances of German grammar with clarity.
ONLINE LESSONS
BILINGUAL
GERMAN ONLINE
Bilingual German lessons are a very efficient compare to a German course held in Germany only. If you want to stay at home and go online you can profit form the same teaching techniques I use in my private face to face lessons.
LIVE VIDEO CHAT
INTERACT VIA SCREEN
The lessons not only encourage you to ask questions, but I will also actively involve you in using the grammatical structures and examples from the course exercises.
SCREEN SHARING
SEE WHAT I WRITE
To display the vocabulary and examples I utilize for explaining grammar, I make use of a script. The majority of the conversation and examples I refer to will also be presented in written form. Here, I document all the necessary information for you to follow the lesson. To view the text exercises, examples, and my script, I will share my screen with you.
CURRICULUM
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
The online German lessons will adhere to the same curriculum outlined above. Homework for each lesson, along with the script, will be sent to you via email after each session.
4 lessons | 1 x per week
(Discount available for 2 students or small private groups)
* CANCELLATION POLICY: As these are group lessons, I cannot offer a refund in case you miss a class. In the event that I am unable to conduct the course or a specific lesson, a refund will be provided accordingly.
Have you attended German group lessons at a language school but struggled to grasp the grammar aspect because it was explained only in German?
I provide bilingual German lessons where I explain Grammar in English (especially at A1 & A2 level), covering all topics with bilingual (English-German) text exercises. Additionally, text exercises include audio files to help you practice your German comprehension skills.
The lessons are very efficient, and held once a week. The focus is primarily on basic grammar necessary for mastering the German language in everyday situations or to pass exams.
