Hi! I am new to tutoring, but I have always been interested in languages and have been studying languages and linguistics for a long time now. I completed my Bachelor's degree in German and Linguistics at the University of Sheffield where I received 1st class honours, and I am now completing my Masters at the University of Potsdam.
In my studies I have done modules on First and Second Language acquisition, Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, and more, so I have a very well rounded and deep knowledge of how language works.
In my time learning German, I have developed an understanding of the need for structure when learning language, and how to combine the skills of grammar, pronunciation, writing and vocabulary. I will use a combination of pre-made and original exercises, and I can help with the development of specific professional vocabulary when needed. I know how much time and effort is needed to learn a language - therefore I also know how to be patient and tailor my methods for each student.
My teaching method will be, to an extent, scientific; I will use the knowledge of language learning and retention I developed in my studies. I am happy to help people of any ability to learn English.
I will conduct all my teaching online, primarily through zoom, due to me currently studying abroad. My schedule leaves me time to tutor mostly in the afternoons.
As I am newer to tutoring, my rates are more affordable :) I am happy to answer any questions that anyone has.
