UNIQUE HYBRID FORMAT: LIVE SESSION + GUIDED WORK
The class follows a hybrid format, with two components:

1:	Each Monday, we come together in our Live Session for speaking practice, discussion of our readings, follow-up on grammar assignments, and cultural enrichment.

2:	During the week, your child will work individually on the Guided Work assignments. I will teach them via interactive videos, reading assignments, reading guides, and grammar-practice worksheets. 

Students can expect to spend two to four hours per week on the Guided Work assignments.

You’re getting the real deal here. I am a true advanced professional with 25+ years of teaching experience, training, awards, and a PhD. Teaching on Outschool is my full-time job. I take my work seriously and spend a lot of time thinking about how best to support each student. I teach just a small number of students per year, so you can be sure your child is getting the personalized attention that builds confidence, honors each student’s unique abilities, and leads to language-learning success.

FAQ
Q: Do you teach the class in GERMAN or in ENGLISH?
A: Both! I use a “partial immersion” approach. At the German 3, 4, & 5 level, most of class time is spent in German.

Q: Are you a NATIVE SPEAKER of German?
A: I am a “near-native” speaker of German. I have a BA, MA, and PhD in German and I have spent significant time in Germany, so my language skills are top-notch. As a near-native speaker, I offer students the best of both worlds: I have clear pronunciation, advanced vocabulary, and excellent grammatical accuracy, and I speak a standardized “textbook” German that is very easy for students to follow.

Q: Does it matter that you are a TRAINED TEACHER?
A: I sure think it does! I have read hundreds of books and articles on teaching, presented at dozens of teacher conferences, and published articles on specific teaching methods. In my class, your child will be the beneficiary of years’ worth of training.

Q: Does the HYBRID MODEL work?
A: Yes, it does. In my experience, students at the intermediate level are able to work independently on the “Guided Work” component of the class quite successfully. The live meetings, quarterly exams, and weekly “Study Trackers” provide them with frequent checkpoints.

Q: What PROFICIENCY LEVEL will my child achieve?
A: The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) provides a scale of proficiency levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. Students have generally achieved the A2 level by the end of German 2. German 3 brings them to the B1 level, and German 4 and German 5 into the coveted B2 range.

Q: We have a SCHEDULING CONFLICT. Can my child still take the class?
A: Absolutely. Your child can catch up on a missed class by watching the class video, posted by Outschool after each class session.

Q: Can we count this class for HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT?
A: Quite possibly. If you are a homeschooling family creating your own transcript, simply list German 3, Parts 1 – 4 as one full high school credit. If you are working with a high school guidance counselor, you can submit the class description, my credentials, and your child’s exam scores and narrative reports for possible credit from your school.

Q: We missed the beginning of the school year! Is it TOO LATE TO START?
A: I often accommodate students with a late start. Message me and let’s see if we can make it work. If your child has already done some work with German, they may be able to jump right in.

Q: I don’t think we’ll be able to get the TEXTBOOK by the first day. Is that a problem?
A: No problem. Last-minute enrollments are welcome. I can provide scans of the first few pages until your child’s book arrives.

Q: I have more questions. Can we GET TOGETHER to talk?
A: Yes, please! I love getting together with students and their families to learn about their particular questions, concerns, and needs. Send me a time that works for you, and we can do a Meet & Greet session:
