*I really enjoy teaching and making German fun. As a NSW secondary teacher in German for years 7 to 12 I can rapidly accelerate your German skills in listening,
reading and writing. As a native speaker I can improve your pronunciation and give you one on one conversation practice.I will tailor the course to your needs, whether brushing up for the HSC or giving you skills for day to day life in Germany or German speaking countries.
A wide variety of resources and worksheets. Lessons include listening, reading, writing, speaking and I use a range of media. Homework given and marked . There is also a focus on intercultural competence skills.
*I am trained as an ESL teacher for NSW secondary schools and enjoy teaching English as a second language, helping students with correct pronunciation and grammar and helping students to structure essays so that they are coherent and fluent in expression. Don't get lost and fall behind, I also have had the experience of coming to Australia as a foreigner.
*I have experience helping special needs students within schools across a number of subjects. It is often difficult to get enough attention within schools to get over learning hurdles.Meeting goals at whichever level we start from is an enjoyable experience.
*I have a love for teaching and learning Italian and am able to teach high school students according to the NSW curriculum requirements year 7 to 12 with a focus on grammar and conversation. I am continuing my own studies of Italian at university level.
*Cooking: I run cooking lessons for a variety of German and Italian cakes and dishes. I am happy to teach non-confident cooks. Typical cost is $35pperson for two hours plus cost of ingredients.
* I teach from home and enjoy teaching female adults, as well as high school and primary students.
