About Me
italki teacher since May 28, 2019Me as a Teacher
I will engage my young students with child appropriate fun game/songs/stories & short videos ( w/subtitles). I may also speak entirely in German. My goals are for the children to become excited about their lesson and enjoy their time without even noticing that they are studying and learning a foreign language!
I am customizing the lesson to my student's needs, desires, goals & available timetable. The curriculum will be totally tailored to ensure the most successful outcome and will be adjusted according to the student's accomplishments and abilities. I will gently guide/assist & patiently correct. So, let’s start with this exciting & fun adventure into a new language and culture!! My lessons & teaching style
I love to give little insight's into the German attitude & culture. I gladly share funny anecdotes and hilarious literal translations of words. I am working with several different programs which will support Business German verbiage or are useful for traveling purposes or prioritize conversations skills with Everyday German phrases & proverbs - all of them featuring vocabulary/grammar exercises as well as text comprehension. Most programs also offer audio lessons for listening/reviewing at student’s leisure time at home. I believe working w/a native speaking tutor benefits oral communications greatly & will eliminate possible mispronunciations before they settle into student's memory.Certificates

Susie is a wonderful teacher with my son. She’s so patient and fun and always extremely well prepared. She manages to keep him engaged in an after school lesson which is impressive in itself.

Susi was wonderful. We've gone through a few online tutors for our kids but it was difficult for the kids to engage. I was so impressed with Susi. She was very prepared and had lessons planned that actually engaged the kids.

Another very enjoyable lesson. My daughter is quickly gaining confidence. She is enjoying the games played. Susi is always so prepared and always has a smile on her face. She is enjoying learning to read in German as well.
