German classes (face-to-face or online) with a native

I offer individual 1:1 classes as well as group classes.
Whether you would like to improve your level of German or start from scratch, we can find a way to work together. Whether you want to ensure that your son or daughter receives the support they need to feel confident while taking an exam, do get in touch.

In my teaching, I focus on using diverse teaching methods in order to deliver motivating and inspiring teaching. I aim to tailor the classes according to your needs and learning stiles as each person has her or his own way to learn a language. As I am a language learner myself, I know also „the other side“ and I understand that it can be frustrating at times when it feels like you're not making any progress, but also how rewarding and fun it can be to delve into a different language and culture.

About Me

Hello, I am a passionate and enthusiastic teacher with years of experience in teaching adults as well as children and young adults. I am here to help you improving your language skills on different levels but also to support you in preparing for exams such as A-levels, GCSEs or other language certifications. In addition to this, I also help students who need academic support e.g. with dissertations or final exams

I grew up in Austria and I always felt drawn to languages and after studying German Studies and Linguistics at the University of Graz in Austria, I started my career as a teacher at the University of Debrecen, in Hungary. After two years, I continued my work as a language teacher at the University of Bath, in the UK where I thought undergraduate students. Eventually, I decided to become self-employed and work as a fulltime tutor.

I aim to convey my passion for languages and strive to make my classes engaging and fun, tailoring them to your goals and needs as a learner.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Elise
Private German lessons by qualified academic
University graduate in German language and literature (Master of Letters in German with specialization in medieval languages and literature) with a solid experience, gives private German lessons for all levels. My lessons are adapted according to the needs of the student. They aim to consolidate concepts, fill gaps, prepare for exams (maturity, compulsory school leaving certificates, entrance exams to gymnasiums and universities, Goethe Zertifikat up to B2). Opportunity to learn the language. For school supports: This is above all long-term work, which implies on my part taking the time to "learn how to learn" in an effective manner: every exercise is explained in detail, which can make its execution easier. slower. Quality takes priority over quantity in order to obtain optimal results over time. Students bring their own course materials (notebooks, books, audio CDs, dictionaries, assessments, etc.). Another important point: in order for my help to be beneficial, it is necessary that the student provides regular personal work between lessons. This essentially involves rereading your notes, repeating exercises similar to those carried out together or even moving forward in learning vocabulary. For conversation classes: The topics are based on interests and/or specific needs for exam preparation. I attach particular importance to pronunciation, fluency and vocabulary. I usually correct at the end of a conversation exercise with detailed feedback, in order to avoid any blockages and to work on fluency. Depending on the level of the students and/or their expectations (exam preparations/assessments/desire for improvement for example), I work on the choice of appropriate words, grammatical accuracy, the ability to formulate more or less complex sentences. For exam preparations: The courses offer to acquire solid tools to learn to write, to comment on literary texts and a methodology to work on oral comprehension. The student must bring their own exam preparation brochure, available in all bookstores. For Goethe Institute model exams, the exam books from Cornlesen are particularly suitable. The other alternative would be to download and print before the start of the course a copy of the Goethe Institute exam available on the institute's website. For the oral comprehension: Work from audio-visual viewings downloaded from the Deutsche Welle site, which offer various recordings adapted to all levels, with a very concrete approach. In the long term, the student acquires ease not only in oral comprehension, but also enriches his basic vocabulary through exercises. I also work on the Goethe Institut oral tests to familiarize myself with speaking. For the work of the written expression: I begin by explaining in the first lesson some methodological tools to acquire writing skills. The student has the opportunity to start writing during the course or do a writing exercise on duty and give it to me to correct (send by email or at the beginning of the next lesson). The corrections are explained in detail. In addition, at the time of booking, the student can send me a draft copy before the lesson so that I can meet his needs even more quickly. Apart from my presence with the student, every lesson involves preparation time before and after the lesson, particularly for the work that I correct. My goal being to design an individualized course, I take the time necessary to write detailed comments on corrected work or advice to ensure maximum success for everyone. In addition, each student can contact me at any time outside of class by email if necessary. Feel free to contact me for more information. :)

Françoise
Learn French with children's literature
Welcome everyone! My goal: to make learning French fun, enriching and accessible to everyone. I have set up an attractive and fun teaching method, specially designed to support young people and adults who encounter difficulties, particularly in French. Whether you are illiterate or experiencing academic difficulties, I am here to support you with my skills and experience. I take a specific approach to help those who have difficulty expressing themselves correctly in French, whether written or spoken. Because French is much more than a language: it is a key that opens you to the world! Here is a testimonial: 'Teacher in UPE2A at the Jean Jaurès school, my system welcomes allophone students of all ages and nationalities. Françoise spoke to a group of six students aged seven to twelve, of Tamil and Egyptian origin. These interventions have enabled: - To develop a quality of listening, of attention to writing - To develop memory - To develop understanding of texts read in the form of fun exercises (depending on the children's abilities and their progress in acquiring French). - To develop, through exercises such as crosswords associating an image with a word, a reading and writing of French adapted to their difficulty. - To understand different cultures, different ways of living. This notion is all the more interesting for students from different nationalities. The advantage of these interventions lies in the fact that they are multidisciplinary exercises that involve the child as an actor in relation to what is proposed to him. He is not passive. As a teacher, it is useful to note that students need a situation (conditioning, comparison with their culture) to be attentive when reading the story. It is imperative to make them participate actively with fun and varied exercises so as not to create boredom, and to assess the acquisition of the concepts covered, which she succeeded brilliantly.' The main interest lies above all in the pleasure of reading stories, of taking hold of them to bring a feeling of success in discovering the French language and its vocabulary. Join me on Apprentus to make the French language not only a skill, but a joy to share. I look forward to meeting you to help the French language grow together. See you soon !
