What is a virtual classroom?

In the world of virtual classrooms, the future of group learning unfolds in an online - or virtual - space. Embracing modernity, this innovative approach brings together students and a tutor, creating a real classroom experience through the power of the internet and specialized software.

In my German virtual classroom, I prioritize quality education by limiting each session to a maximum of 6 language learners. By keeping the class size small, I ensure an efficient and personalized learning experience for every participant.

For those seeking an even more individualized approach, I offer two other enticing options: the 1:1 class, where you get undivided attention from the tutor, and the pair-class, catering to the needs of just two students.

Whichever route you choose, rest assured that your journey to mastering the German language will be engaging, effective, and tailored to suit your preferences.

About me, your German tutor 👩‍🏫

In 2012 I graduated in Linguistics from Munich’s University. Since then, I have been tutoring languages for thirteen years. Teaching languages to people from all over the world 🌏, to children, adults and senior, in individual and group courses.

Only recently I have launched my online language teaching service. With a special attention to the best techniques and strategies to learn the German language completely online.

The language courses

Let’s explore different categorizations of language classes based on various factors:

1. Frequency of Lessons:

Soft. Ideal for a calm and steady approach, with classes held once or twice a week, ensuring solid foundations. This option is popular among learners with no urgent time constraints.
Intensive. Designed for those with time-sensitive goals. With classes held daily for two hours, this immersive approach enables rapid progress, making you proficient in German in a short time.
Semi-intensive. Striking a balance between soft and intensive, this option involves two lessons twice a week, providing a focused learning experience.

2. Targeted Learners:

Children 🧒. Engaging language classes filled with fun and play, tailored for young learners. These sessions use child-friendly teaching methods and last up to 45 minutes to ensure maximum attention.
Companies. Customized courses for employees integrating into a German working environment. Many companies sponsor German courses for their foreign staff to enhance their integration and communication skills.
Nurses or Doctors. Special courses designed for addressing the significant shortage of healthcare professionals in German-speaking countries. These courses prepare medical professionals for their roles in the region.

3. Purpose of Learning:

Holidays 🏖️. Planning a trip to Germany? Opt for a German crash-course to grasp the basics and develop a good understanding of the language for your vacation. Practice pronunciation to impress your travel companions.
Language test preparation 📋. For learners aiming to take various German exams like testDAF, Goethe-Zertifikat, telc, or DSH, specialized courses are available. These courses focus on the specific content and offer intensive preparation due to often tight deadlines.
Conversation course 💬. If your goal is to become a confident and fluent speaker, a conversation-focused class is the way to go. Emphasizing natural language acquisition and cultural understanding, this course minimizes grammar lessons and maximizes practical language skills.

No matter your language learning needs, there’s a tailored German course waiting for you! Choose the one that aligns with your goals and preferences, and embark on an exciting journey to master the German language.

Talking German

Certainly, one of the primary goals of taking a German course is to be able to interact confidently with other German speakers. But, speaking German like a native? At first glance, it may seem like an unattainable dream, something that would require years of practice.

However, in my language course, I believe in setting realistic targets for each student. Together, we’ll define achievable objectives and chart a path to reach them, all while keeping you motivated and ensuring your efforts yield the best possible results.

Our approach begins by assessing your current German language level. From there, we’ll work step-by-step to improve your skills, following a proven curriculum that draws from many years of successful teaching experience.

Setting a target can be as simple as identifying a specific German language level you aim to reach, such as A1, for example. Having a clear level in mind is already an excellent target, as language proficiency levels are well-defined and universally recognized.

If you’re unfamiliar with the language levels, don’t worry; I’ll guide you through them. My aim is to make language learning accessible and enjoyable, ensuring you have all the support you need to achieve your goals.

Language level 🌡️

In Europe, the levels of proficiency are indicated with A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2.

Let’s see what these levels mean:

levels A1 and A2 refer to a beginner knowledge level of German. At the end of the course, you know most of the grammar and will be able to elaborate easy sentences with a limited German vocabulary
levels B1 and B2 refer to an intermediate level. You have a fair comprehension of the language, starting to be independent in your use of the language
levels C1 and C2 indicate advanced German knowledge. You are completely independent and can get away in any situation requiring advanced linguistic knowledge. You are fluent in any situation

Because I’m a native speaker teacher I can cover all levels of the language. Let’s just see what language skills you currently have and what level you want to reach! It will be our journey to learning German.

Learning in a virtual classroom

the pro of a German lesson online via Skype

It is undeniable that online language courses offer some advantages, let’s review them.

Commuting 🚌

Modern cities can be hectic and overcrowded, making the daily commute to a language school after a long day at work a daunting task.

However, with a virtual classroom, all those commuting hassles become a thing of the past. The time spent traveling to and from school is reduced to zero, giving you the precious opportunity to reclaim control of your valuable time.

Undoubtedly, this stands as one of the most significant advantages of an online German classroom. Embrace the convenience and flexibility it offers, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: learning and mastering the German language. Say goodbye to commuting stress and hello to efficient, productive language learning from the comfort of your own space.

Learning German the proper way

Speaking a foreign language with an accent adds character and uniqueness to the speaker, which is not a bad thing. However, for educators, it is crucial to transmit correct German pronunciation to provide students with a precise reference. This ensures that they can communicate effectively with native speakers without any surprises.

Moreover, native speakers possess valuable insights into idioms, idiomatic expressions, and language pitfalls that learners can benefit from.

Wherever you are in the world 🌎, our online German language course offers the opportunity to learn from a genuine German native speaker teacher.

Safety ⛑️

With safety in mind, online learning eliminates the need to meet strangers in person, providing a secure environment for both students and teachers.

This aspect has become even more critical since the challenges of 2020, with social distancing becoming a necessity.

Smaller class

My emphasis on smaller class sizes allows me to focus more on individual students, giving you ample time to ask questions and delve deeper into topics. The familiar and comfortable learning environment helps you excel without distractions.

Unlike traditional schools that often fill large classrooms to cover expenses, I prioritize quality over quantity. In a small class setting, everyone’s level is more homogeneous, ensuring you won’t be held back by less skilled peers.

My virtual German courses 👩‍🎓

I offer my online class in two versions. At a more relaxed pace, kind of Berliner style, 90 minutes once a week. And a more demanding course, Münchner style, 90 minutes twice a week. Therefore I called them course Berlin and course Munich.

In the pay-as-you-go formula, you subscribe to the lesson you just want to take part in. For the calendar of the lessons visit the page German lesson pay-as-you-go calendar.

The virtual classroom: how it works

If you’ve never experienced a virtual classroom before, you might be curious about how it works. Let me address your legitimate doubts and explain the process.

The online German tutor and her students comfortably gather at home, relaxing on their favorite couch with a laptop on their laps.

Once connected to the internet, they simply click on the link sent in advance by the tutor.

A web-based software launches on their PCs, and magically, the teacher and fellow classmates appear on the screen, creating a virtual party-like atmosphere.

And that’s where the fun begins – let’s start learning German!

Rest assured, there’s no need for complicated software or setups. The entire process is easy, guided by an experienced German tutor, so you can solely focus on learning the language without any unnecessary hassle.

To ensure effective learning, both students and teachers utilize a variety of software tools, some familiar from traditional lessons and others specifically designed for online learning.

Here are the key tools I use.

virtual blackboard for German online lessons

A virtual whiteboard

A fundamental tool for each lesson. To write minimalistic, easy-to-remember-and-pronounce, German words, like Streichholzschächtelchen 😎.

Audio

Live communication between the teacher and her students. Just like being physically in front of each other.

Webcam

A webcam is not essential, anyway, it gives a much more realistic feeling of being in a classroom with the teacher and other classmates. The camera is strongly recommended.

Chat

The chat is useful for all communications for which you want to keep a written record. Asking questions, planning the next lessons, etc.

All useful documents can be shared before, during, and after the video call. Newspaper articles, photocopies, exercises.

Recordings

We can record audio and video of the lesson, to be able to review them offline later.

What is needed

To attend the online course you need some basic equipment, like a PC and a few other things. Find out what you need on my page What you need for a virtual classroom.

The online German course can be booked directly on my website.

At the end of the booking process, you can pay by Paypal or credit card.

Or contact me -per email, WhatsApp, mobile- with your request and I will book the lesson for you.

Explain me what you need, your level of German, what your difficulties are and which course would you like to subscribe to, course Berlin or course Munich. I will contact you as soon as possible with a proposal.

Money-back guarantee 👍

To give you even more confidence I offer you a money-back guarantee.

This means, if for any reason you are not satisfied with the language course, or cannot follow the online course anymore, you can withdraw from the course, at any time and without giving any reason, you will be refunded the fees for the lessons you have not taken.
