Katharina

Certified Tutor

I am a native German speaker who moved to Chicago a year ago to pursue a Psychology degree. Having spent most of my life in Germany, I have taught immigrants German for more than 4 years, as well as tutored American students when I moved to the US. Therefore, I am experienced with teaching different levels of German, and am offering tutoring in German 1-4, AP German language and culture, and conversational German.

I feel passionate about learning and teaching new languages as I myself have learned multiple languages (English, Spanish, and Latin) besides my native language. The learning techniques I have gained from that are fundamental parts of my teaching style. My goal is to motivate my students because the key to learn a new language is to do it in a fun and engaging manner. Together, we will develop individualized learning techniques, depending on your preferred ways of learning (visual, auditory, etc.).

As I mentioned, I love learning new languages, because this enables you to learn so much about different cultures. I traveled to most of Europe, and am now looking forward to travel more in North, Central, and Latin America. I am a social and creative person who loves getting to know new people.
