Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 21. Oct 2015
I have always been fascinated with languages, and I grew up in a family where several languages were spoken, although I can only really claim German as my mothertongue.
I immensely enjoy studying languages myself, and keep adding new ones to my list. As a speaker of Scottish Gaelic, I am involved with minority language issues, especially concerning the Celtic languages. I am also a published writer and poet in Gaelic.
Important info for new students: My calendar is usually up to date for the current week, and on Thursday or Friday I update it for the following week. If you want to book a lesson at very short notice, or more than two weeks in advance, it is usually best to message me first.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have done a lot of language and linguistics related things at university, and I have worked part-time as a language teacher and tutor since the age of 16, gradually moving into more challenging positions, like teaching German to immigrants and business people, and tutoring university students in Latin and Ancient Greek.
I have never formally qualified as a teacher, but I take teaching very seriously - while making it fun and inspiring at the same time! :)
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I teach at all levels, from basic beginner lessons to advanced. We can focus on grammar, conversation or reading, depending on your interests and needs. I am experienced with lesson planning and analysing what a student needs, and will diligently monitor and support your progress. We can either work with your own materials or I can suggest or provide materials for you. Whether you need a few occasional lessons or want a long-term study plan, I am happy to figure something out with you.
Mona knows how to engage you in a conversation, therefore helps you to produce the German language more than you thought you would!

Mona is really an excellent teacher, positive and encouraging, who knows how to find the right balance between letting the student speak as spontaneously and as freely as possible on various topics, and bringing complements or corrections when necessary. All in a very nice atmosphere !
