I am a certified German Teacher (K-12) in the state of Texas and a native speaker. I believe in total immersion for intermediate beginners, which means the instructional language will be German. 
I love sharing the gift of language with children and believe that a language acquisition course must be both interactive and engaging. Students will have a variety of speaking opportunities in my class, to not only improve conversational abilities, but to also boost self-confidence. I grew up in the former East Germany close to the city of Dresden.  I have taught German for over 10 years for various ages both online and face-to face.
This course is for absolute beginners and requires no previous knowledge of German. Homework assignments are optional but recommended.
