After completing my Bachelor of Arts in General Linguistics at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, I furthered my education in the German language, achieving a Post-Baccalaureate in German. My first experience with tutoring was in a volunteer role as an ESL and citizenship tutor for Rohingya refugees with Catholic Charities in Milwaukee, sparking a passion that has since grown into a professional career.
Today, I proudly offer online German tutoring and ESL instruction through 'German with a Linguist,' providing private tutoring in both German and English as a Second Language, with instruction in English as well as Spanish. My approach is tailored to accommodate various learning styles and needs, never forgetting that every mind is different. My classroom is a safe space for neurodiverse minds and every kind of learner.
My standard rate is $35/hour for online classes; however, I believe in making language learning accessible to all and therefore offer a limited number of slots at a reduced rate for students facing financial hardships.
Lingolia is a website that offers German language and English language (and other language) grammar instruction and both free and paid exercises to practice any grammar topic you want. It's all organized very well in the left panel. As an online German tutor, this is my favorite resource for grammar instruction and I use it often in my German tutoring sessions as well as ESL lessons.
Mein-Deutschbuch.de is a popular website for free German language materials for self-study for DaF-prep (DaF = Deutsch als Fremdsprache, German as a Second Language). On this site you can find pages with explanations as well as online quizzes and exercises. It's a great German grammar resource.
German.net is a great website to study the German language - it has a number of online exercises and quizzes that you can use to practice your German grammar. The amount of material is limited, though. These are great resources, whether you're a German tutor or a German student.
Clozemaster is one of my favorite vocabulary apps because it combines two of the best methods of vocabulary study: cloze and spaced repetition. Words are provided in sentences so you can see the vocabulary in native context, which is crucial to understanding the language on a deeper level. Great for learning German vocabulary.
Lingopie is a site that gives you access to TV in several languages, including German. The greatest feature for language learners, though, is the simultaneous dual-language subtitles - you can have both German and English subtitles appear at the same time so you can scan them both for the words you need while you watch. You also have the ability to slow down the play speed of the show, so you can listen more closely to what is being said and have more time to read both sets of subtitles.
