Methodology

Apart from helping the learner understand and know the material, I find that my most important mission as a teacher/tutor is to motivate and encourage my students. Motivation is one of the main building blocks for any kind of learning, which is why I love to approach topics by looking at the interests of the individual learner and structuring the lessons around them. Creating a stress-free learning environment has been proven to enhance learning, so I like to keep things relaxed and informal - both the learner and the teacher should feel comfortable and safe during the lessons. Since language is at its nature alive and dynamic, I feel that learning them should reflect that; rather than sticking to just one method I like mixing things up to keep the learning stimulating and fun! Instead of only using ready-made books and worksheets, I also love making my own custom teaching materials to ensure that they are authentic and up to date. Authenticity is very important to me, and I feel that I can provide that well in my German teaching, because I spent a semester studying in Bielefeld, Germany, so I am very familiar with how the language is used in authentic situations.
