Scientific German

The structure of classes with me is entirely based on your requirements. it will be helpful if you bring whatever materials you would like to work on understanding better.

There is parking space in front of my house. In addition you can take the bus no 185. The stop you need is “Heidkampstwiete”

I will come to your place if you prefer, provided that you live within a radius of about 10km around Halstenbek. This means you save on travelling time and will always have all your materials on hand. I will also bring additional books and exercises if needed. Upon my arrival we will first discuss which topics are the most urgent and which questions you need answers to. 

I use the platform Jitsi. You do not require any login or account for this, just an internet borwser and a working microphone. The use of a camera is optional.

I will send you a link that you click on to enter the chatroom. If you have any (non-confidential) texts that you know you will want to go through, you can email them to me as a pdf  or any other type of electronic document. Otherwise we can choose from my collection of exercises. Once we have both entered the chatroom, we will first discuss which topics are the most urgent and which questions you need answers to. If there are notes to be taken, I will share my screen with you. After the lesson, I will convert these notes into a PDF and send it to you for future reference.

There is an air filter in my teaching room for our mutual safety. This way you do not have to worry about bringing a mask to class. For classes at your place I will bring a mask. It is up to you if you want to wear one too or not.

No, I do not believe in making contracts to run for a fixed number of months. You are free to terminate your contract upon written notice at any time. In my experience a basis of long-term mutual trust is more likely to grow from having flexibility. For example if your goal is to prepare for a special event you will not need a contract for the next six months weighing you down. The new way you will feel about yourself and about learning will be much more solid than a contractual commitment that does not fit your needs.

Depending on my schedule, we can freely modify the teaching location (my place, your place or online) from one class to the next. The limiting factor on my side could be that it is not possible to fit the journey to your home into my timetable. At the end of the month, I will write up your invoice according to where each class took place.

Any materials that you want to work on and that are not confidential will be great to bring along. You can bring them on paper, on a USB stick or on a tablet or laptop.
