About Ursula
I am a German native familiar with various languages and cultures, and I understand your difficulties when learning another language. I have lived in three different countries for extended periods and have taught countless students from all over the world. I have lived in the U.S. for over twenty years, and I am currently teaching most classes online. My students' ages range from 8-88 years.
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 groups or for longer lessons! I look forward to helping you achieve your language learning goals. Please do not hesitate to contact me to arrange a lesson. Upon request, I am also available for a free consultation meeting in advance of the first class.

We establish goals in our first lesson and assess prior knowledge (if any). Then, we determine how to best go about achieving these goals. This process may vary depending on student input. My classes are very individualized.

I have taken German lessons from the Goethe Institute and university courses at the undergraduate and graduate level. Ursula far surpasses any teacher I have worked with! It's not just the fact that she genuinely cares for her students and comes to each lesson well prepared, it's also that she sets a high bar and pushes you to become the very best language learner you can be. Here are a few examples: 1. Most language teachers let minor errors with prepositions, case, and adjective endings slide. Ursula makes sure that you notice when you are repeatedly making a mistake, which is helpful for nipping bad habits in the bud and for training your ear to pick up the nuances of the language. 2. Most teachers give you a set list from which to memorize vocabulary, then quiz you on it later. Ursula keeps you motivated with regular assessments, but diversifies her questions beyond a given list so that you have to use your creative abilities and your existing knowledge to guess your way to the answer. This has enormous value for learning new phrases and making them a meaningful part of your working vocabulary. You also learn lots of synonyms in the process, and learn to differentiate them from each other in a way that rote memorization cannot achieve on its own. 3. Ursula tailors her teaching strategies to her students' unique needs and learning styles. My lessons are structured around a test prep book, but we also make time to discuss essays, presentations, and even email drafts that I've written and would like to edit. These lessons require advance preparation, but whenever I'm swamped with a busy schedule, Ursula steps in with a lesson plan that keeps me learning and immersed in the language. Once, when I was moving apartments, Ursula needed no prompting and designed a whole lesson on negation (a weak point for me), complete with a presentation of key ideas, practice sentences, and exercises to work on afterwards. I'm so grateful for the level of care and forethought that goes into each of our lessons. Can't recommend Ursula more highly—I'm thrilled to be working with her.
