About

This course is for anyone but will cater to students who have little to no knowledge of the German language. Each week or every other week, depending on your grasp of the materials, we will learn a new chapter in the Introductory German curriculum. We will practice speaking, writing, reading, and grammar. In addition to language, we will also learn about German culture and history.

Tutor Qualifications

I have taken German since 6th grade, I am now going into my second year of university studies. I speak many more languages including German and English. I absolutely love learning and speaking new languages.
