Gerda S. B.

Private tutor in Santa Cruz, CA

Education

Native speaker of German; Master's degrees in Education, Linguistics and Literature from Leibniz University, Germany; teacher at a German community college for 15 years before relocating to the U.S. I offer classes for individuals or small groups, which can share the cost.

Experience

Are you frustrated with ineffective online lessons, so-called Learn German in 30 Days programs, or college classes with too many students and expensive, frustrating teaching materials? Try my fun and effective in person lessons in my home or online. I use inexpensive teaching materials from Germany, with vocabulary and exercises appropriate for teenagers and adults who would like to focus on communication for travel or business purposes. Check out my blog for learners of German: https://dancer755173.wordpress.com/ Education and languages have been my passion since I started tutoring teenagers when I was 16. 20+ years of teaching German and English as a Foreign Language at all levels, mainly adults and adolescents; published EFL-teaching book author. I know Spanish well, some basic French and Latin; Former German language instructor with Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation. I look forward to help you learn German! Ich freue mich darauf, Dir/Ihnen Deutsch beizubringen!
