I'm a certified elementary school teacher with an endorsement in German. I'm a native Swiss-German speaker (which means that I also speak "high" German). I will speak a mixture of German and English in this class to keep the engagement high. I've taught at the elementary school level for 18 years. I have also taught English as a Foreign Language for two years in a small town school in Switzerland.Reviews
