Are you struggling to break into German? Do you find it difficult to turn the theoretical passive knowledge you are accumulating into fluent spoken German? Do you find yourself often tripping up and then giving up when trying to form a proper German sentence? Are you thrown by German word order? Do you find yourself thinking in English and then struggling to map those words into German? Do you suspect that your German is unnatural, unidiomatic and lacking in flair?
If the answer to any of the above is yes - or indeed if you are a complete beginner wanting to learn the language from scratch - I am here to help. I am an Oxford-educated linguist and have lived and worked in Germany for over a decade. I have learnt a number of languages but German is my strongest language after English. I have developed a language teaching method that (a) breaks down and drills the key elements of word and sentence structure and (b) helps you assimilate the authentic spoken and written language. I integrate the method into my lessons and believe that you will be very pleased with the progress you make.
I'm not a native speaker, but do not consider this a disadvantage. I have been on this journey myself and understand how German is learnt - and taught.
I offer an introductory rate of 20 EUR for the first 90-minute lesson. Thereafter, 90 minutes costs 60 EUR (40 EUR per hour).
Interested? Please send an email to booknooktutors@gmail.com, saying that you are interested in German lessons with Alexander Hamilton. Please also give some info on where you are with your German, whether you have particular needs/weaknesses, etc.
Thanks!
