Teaching Approach
My teaching approach is flexible to suit the learner's needs.
I will find out what you want to achieve. At this stage I will get to know the level of German or Greek you have already reached, then I will prepare step-by step lessons tailored for your needs.
My approach is largely conversational, with you choosing the topics which will be helpful to you. I will correct your errors, so you become more confident with pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. In our first conversation we will decide which methods to use, such as role-plays, informal conversation, or a variety of other activities to help you.
I welcome conversational beginners right up to proficient speakers. It may be you want to speak better German with friends. Or, you may be a business manager who wants to be able to give good German presentations to your employees. Whatever your goals I will show you how to achieve them.
During our first session I will evaluate your level of German. Based on your skills and your personal goals I will then either propose a coursebook or will provide you with teaching materials. I always give homework.
Oral communication and vocabulary are my main focus.
