Each week, instruction will follow a specific pattern, including 4 learning units:

hobbies and activities, things in the house and things that go.
3. Language application:
The vocabulary taught in each class is connected to important linguistic elements and
grammar (nouns, verbs, adjectives, verb conjugation, noun plurals, expressing preferences
and dislikes).
4. Interactive exercises:
The grand finale that rehearses and solidifies taught material in a fun and engaging way,
making young students want to return to each new class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hallo und Guten Tag!
My name is Sandra Miller and I am a native German speaker. Germany has 16 “states”, in German: Bundesländer. The one I come from is Sachsen, which is known in English as Saxony. I am proud to call the capital Dresden my German home. Look it up, if you’d like - it is world-known for its art, history and beauty.
After graduating from the University of Heidelberg with a Master's in Interpretation for German / Russian / Italian, I emigrated to the US in 1999 to marry my husband of 24 years. Together we have 3 daughters between the ages of 13-21.
Before my employment as a language teacher, I volunteered for several years in various children's programs such as "Kids Hope USA". I also honed my artistic skills as a face painter.
I started working as a teacher at a private German language school in 2017 and have been teaching classes there ever since. In addition, I have been teaching private online lessons for German, Italian and Russian over the course of the past 6 years.
