Class Experience This is a German class designed for elementary school students, for very beginners. It is a highly interactive class, mostly taught in German. In this "German Class", we will cover various topics of daily life. Each session is self-contained, i.e. no prior knowledge is required. I pay close attention to pronunciation and enunciation. I am a very patient and fun-loving instructor, so classes will be rather lively and interesting. Week of Apr. 17: Introducing oneself to others Week of Apr. 24: ABC Week of Apr. 30: Common greetings Week 4: Numbers Week 5: Colors Week 6: My family Week 7: Wild animals Week 8: Domesticated animals Week 9: Plants Week 10: Seasons Week 11: Weather Week 12: Days of the week Week 13: Months of the year Week 14: Times Week 15: School Week 16: Hobbies Week 17: Furniture Week 18: (Favorite) Foods and drinks Week 19: Talking about foods (hungry, likes, dislikes, ... Week 20: Germany? Where is that? Practice outside of the class setting is needed, so as to promote learning and retention. This 25-minute class is divided as follows (but is also subject to changes, depending on the class dynamics): - warm-up, song - review/ practice - new topic/ practice - questions/end I am looking forward to fun and engaging lessons that will spark your child's interest in languages. Bis bald, Sibylle, linguist and mother to four :)

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Foreign Language from Heidelberg University (Institute of Translation and Interpreting) in Heidelberg, Germany
My name is Sibylle Gray; I have four children and a passion for languages, reading, knitting, crocheting, painting, origami, learning about history and other cultures, hiking, fishing and baking bread and cakes.
I hold a Master's Degree in Linguistics (English, German, Spanish).
I have taught in-class German at private co-ops to children ages five through sixteen and I have been an online ESL (English as a second language) teacher for over 5years. I also have the 120-hour TEFL/TESOL certification.
Before going to university, I studied nursing and worked at a hospital as an R.N. I also worked on an ambulance for several years in addition to being a volunteer E.M.T. at the German Red Cross and a youth leader at the German Red Cross. I have a passion for the medical field and I enjoy being around other people.
I grew up bilingually and I have always enjoyed languages, history and other cultures. I was able to experience and compare the American and German culture first-hand, from which I have certainly benefited greatly.
Understanding and valuing other cultures are very important, especially in today's age and time. We all need to know more about each other so as to grow together and make the world a better place.
I am a passionate knitter and I am proud to say that my three older children all know how to knit and crochet. I love knitting hats, shawls, scarves, blankets, and many other things. I also love crocheting lace (using thread) and tatting.
I teach English (TEFL, TESOL) to international students and a few years year ago, one of my students introduced me to "origami". My children and I fell in love with origami and every evening, we get together to do origami.
I also enjoy painting with water colors and acrylics and I love drawing. My favorite motifs are unicorns as well as kawaii, chibis and manga images.
When I am on the road, at a doctor's office, at the park and even when we are fishing, you will find me either reading a book or knitting a hat or shawl (which might be the reason I haven't caught anything in a while :).
I would love to get to know your child and introduce him or her to the wonderful world of learning and having fun.
Have a wonderful day,
Miss Sibylle.Reviews
