I have 10 years’ violin teaching experience in the UK and have recently moved to Dresden. I specialise in teaching beginners age 7-12 both in groups and 1:1. I also have lots of experience teaching teenage students, some of whom have gone on to study music at university. Most of my students worked towards ABRSM graded exams, but the primary goal of my lessons is always to make sure the student has fun playing.

I have a PhD in Music and the ABRSM Teaching Diploma (DipABRSM).

German:
Hello, my name is Jael, 23 and I look forward to helping people in their endeavors to learn to speak, write and read English. Of course, I also offer tutoring for other subjects and can also try to help out with other subjects on request.
I spent over two years in the center of the UK - the West Midlands - as a youth and school social worker and teaching assistant.
During this time I discovered my love for the English language and culture and for teaching in general and I hope to instill this love in others too.
Learning a language should be fun and exciting.
Difficulties you may have are easier to overcome together, and being able to speak the language together is very useful to become fluent and improve your pronunciation.
In class, I focus on what suits you best and what you need - help with homework, exam preparation or training in spelling, grammar, speaking and more.
Depending on your specialization or language level, we may choose to work through specific exercise books that can be purchased online, or we may work based on free resources or your own school supplies.
I strive to individualize the teaching and methodology to best serve you and the teaching will always be a two-way relationship.
I hope to get to know you soon and make progress together.

Hi, my name is Jael (23) and I'm looking forward to helping people along in their efforts to learn to speak, write and read English. However, I also offer support and tuition with other subjects on request and will try to help out with homeworks, exams and more. Regular students will be able to discuss individual needs for tuition wth me and we can work on a plan together.
About my experience: I have spent over two years in the United Kingdom - the West Midlands - as a youth and schools worker and as a teaching assistant. In this time I have discovered my love for the English language and culture and for teaching in general and I hope to awake this love in others as well.
Learning a language should be fun and exciting and I hope to make it that way for you.
Struggles you might have can be easier overcome together and it's very useful to speak together in the language you're trying to learn to become fluent and improve pronounciation.
In lessons I follow what best suits you and what you need - help with homework, exam preparation or training in spelling, grammar, speaking and more.
Depending on your focus or level we might decide to work through certain exercise books available to buy online or work based on free english resources or your own school material.
I strive to individualize the lessons and methods to best help you and teaching will always be a two-way street.
I hope to get to know you soon to discover the joys of speaking English.
