GERMAN MOTHER LANGUAGE TEACHER: ONLINE CLASSES (GERMAN, ENGLISH)

Hello Dear German Learners, I`m a private tutor/teacher with German as a native language, who teaches German - all fully online (Skype/Zoom), from the comfort of your home. My time zone is LONDON TIME. After ca. 5,5 yrs of training in translation and interpreting in my home country and abroad to get my degree/certifications (English is one of my "trained" languages; I speak ca. 6 languages these days) I went on working in some "real life" job/business and gained a quite diverse work experience. So, that is my many years with international clients and multilingual colleagues on top... I am well-traveled and have lived in various countries, so can make sense of most cultural backgrounds (if not I love learning on top!). My students came from countries like Russia/Kazakstan, Brazil, UK, US, Spain and others... I had already tutored in a very young age (in real life), then given German to smaller groups when abroad (also in person), and finally started teaching fully online when Corona hit. In 2020 I was even named "tutor of the year" by one of the platforms I worked with. My student ratings were excellent - so I can say I`m happy that my "learners" felt in good hands with me. While being able to work with all levels and ages I usually take on adults for students - my students come with and without prior knowledge. Please communicate what you`re at - and how I can help you make good progress. Probably you have a goal or know that you have a preferred way of studying, which we should integrate? If you have questions I can answer, please feel free to voice them at any point! As to the costs I go by 90min sessions (I count 45mins for 1 single class usually, but don`t offer single classes at the moment). Per month 1 class can be re-scheduled/canceled within 24+ hrs (late cancellation requires to pay the class; that is because I had some people rescheduling every week and multiple times lastminute, which is hard to deal with - as for me: cancel as you want, but then the cancellation policy will be in place and the "empty slot" has to be covered!) Can`t wait to hear back from you - and help you with your next steps with this very exciting language! It has many rewarding "bulb-light moments", particularly for English learners (the languages had common roots way back!). So, it`s actually a lot of fun to learn about it and discover that it ́s not "all so hard". - At least I hope to make it a "smooth ride" for you! Talk soon! Happy to learn together! Many greetings, Maria

WHAT? Astrology class on a certain topic - NO PREDICTIONS!!! (No "whohoo"; I ́m just reading in line with the astrologers` associations and the usual reading patterns...not telling you the future nor doing any magic...) > Astrology (private) class: 45mins 60 GBP (or ask, if group of 2-3 people): We learn something together, like i.e. the significance of a planet or house in the horoscope > you tell me what interests you! > Readings related to one particular area (career/personality/spirituality etc.) are: 60 GBP for 45mins (please ask back first...I would like to make sure that I`m the right reader for you > I don`t do "predictions") > I also offer to read a full radix (= birth horoscope reading) for 90 GBP in up to 120mins (it takes a good chunk of time, and is quite broad...but depends on the individual horoscope) > Ask for courses - or little groups; I may prefer to run them so I don`t repeat the ever-same topics one-by-one! So ask, if you would like that. I`ll see if it makes sense to build it up that way! (Also, in a study group interesting questions can come up for everybody! And it`s fun to look at the possible interpretations together!) ABOUT: I started using esoteric practices as a teenager - but never understood them as something "mystical", really. A good part of it came from family, however, I had a keen interest in psychology (particularly Jungian) and read myself through wild libraries like a good bookworm early on. In my early 20ies I had, then, spent 8 years with a deep immersion in astrology (diverse schools & systems), at times exchanging ideas and reading types with practicing astrologers on the side. But I just started reading for others a little later - and another while, even later, then for money. The esoteric practices came with a lot of other topics, which I evolved in and worked in professionally "on the side" for around 10 years. - I am experienced in all of this and may have my own "style" by now. Always falling back on "traditional roots", though. But no online courses and no "quick fix" involved here. It took me many years and it was slow and constant learning about oneself and working with others, step by step. I take a bit from tarot ideas (which I started doing around 13 or so, dream shamanism and energetic practices...among others, but the list will be very long). I did train in some of those - but do offer Astrology here. If this sounds like it is for you, then great! Though, please go by your belly feeling. I do this, because it`s normal for me and I like to relate to the used "classification systems and thought schools", but people are different and these things may be approachable for some, but will not be "clicking" for others, which is just fine, too. It`s the first time I put in on here. We`ll see how it goes...

SALES COACHING OFFER Sometime around 10 years ago I had a station in my work life when I worked in densely KPI-oriented environments with Sales and Marketing quotas. At that time I used to train staff for call center and sales conversations over the phone. I did this for over 6 years and coached over 100 people 1:1. The original reason why I got that chance was that I used to be an overperformer myself. So I didn`t come from "flashy powerpoints", but actually walked the talk prior to passing on any opinions. I worked in B2B, in software environments, but had a very rich work life with times when I worked in all sorts of industries, really. So, from HR to Sales/Marketing, Tech, Finance, Products...I also worked with events and organization, with logistics, design, and high fashion, if you`d like to believe it ;-) What is the offer - and what is the methodology? My approach is simple: PEOPLE make business work, nothing else. Communication and how you focus make the difference. Just like how "well you feel in your skin". I believe in a consultative approach and listening to a (potential) customer. A talent that helps in customer service and in sales or presales. My goal is for a win-win, which I feel is happening when both parties are interacting helpfully with each other. So, my offer is to help young professionals, who often have problems picking up a phone - being confident. Or, if you come from a non-customer-facing role and want to "work your way into confidence" I can help you with that, too. Other than my background above I worked in multilingual environments and have/had a "side hustle" in working with people in psychological/motivational ways. So that goes on top. My price goes per hour. Please let me know what your challenge is and what you hope to accomplish. I`ll give you an honest feedback on my end. Then we can agree on the time slots.

Hello dear GERMAN learners! I am a German native speaker and have language studies (translating/interpreting, 5.5 years of study/training in total). English and Spanish are my working languages. In addition to my studies, I have also lived in both countries and know the culture and people - as well as everyday business life. As a German native speaker, I primarily taught GERMAN as a foreign language. Both to children (as a tutor) and to young employees (in a group, German lessons), and later ONLINE, primarily to working people in private lessons (also Business German). So I can work with all ages and all levels of knowledge. But mostly they are adults, expats, foreign students and people living in German-speaking countries. Does that sound like it's for you? Then write me a message with a few details about you and your learning wishes. What is important to you? What should be the focus? I look forward to you all! Maria
