Brisbane tutor in German

Dear Student, My name is Claudia Purcell. I am 44 years old and a native German speaker.
I grew up in Germany, and my mother tongues are German and Italian. I also speak I speak English and French fluently. I am an experienced tutor and German teacher who has worked with children and adults alike. I have been tutoring/teaching German in Australia for the past 11 years. I have also previously tutored design and conceptual work at the Faculty of Architecture at the Queensland University of Technology and currently teach German at a German Language School. I like to be creative when I am not working as a German Teacher or tutor. I create Acrylic and Resin Jewellery.

Why do I teach German?
I teach German because I am passionate about languages and enjoy teaching.

What I offer:

-Private tutoring for German - Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced levels (working with the "Schritte International" Book Series)
- Private tutoring for school kids and university students
- Reviewing student reports and homework
- Assessing students' German speaking and writing skills - Private tutoring for kids accepted into the German Immersion Program with no prior German skills (I work with the children before commencing their German Immersion program by teaching essential German and easing their way into the program)

If you struggle with a tongue, it is not time to give up; to change the way of learning and make it fun again!

Please note: I only tutor on Zoom/online. No home visits.
If you are interested please don't hesitate to contact me purcell.claudia@gmail.com or give me a call 0406172349

Cheers
Claudia
