About

Welkommen! In this series, we will be learning the basics of the German language and get you to an A1 level where you would feel comfortable taking the A1 CEFR exam. We will be learning lots of topics such as weather, animals, shopping, food, and so much more! In addition to the traditional language learning skills of Reading, Writing, Speaking, and listening, we will also be learning about culture through various activities. This series is ideal for anyone interested in learning German and ready to commit time to studying and mastering the concepts.

I have tutored this series 5 times before and know how to help you succeed through this series. For the best outcome, you need to be able to attend ALL sessions as they build off of each other. Students do best when the practice is outside of sessions, so I provide specific homework that will have you master the material.

To keep you on track with learning, I will be keeping track of attendance and homework. If you can have excellent attendance and good scores on work, you will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the series.

View Profile

I am a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin- Madison, where I studied Molecular and Cell Biology and Scientific Communication. I currently work at an international biotechnology company working in their small molecule department as a scientist developing new medicines. I have a love of learning which has led me to be able to speak 3 languages which are English, German, and Turkish, and I am currently learning more. In addition to my academic studied, I also play numerous instruments. As a tutor, I am very passionate about helping students reach their full potential in all levels of school. I love school and want to help others gain the passion for learning and enjoy not only the outcome, but also the process. I tutor biology, chemistry, writing, German, Turkish, and a variety of AP classes to help students prep for their exams. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, playing D&D, and watching movies/TV shows.
