Szilvia
German isn't as hard as you think!
Students reviews
This was our trial lesson, 30 minutes long. She started by asking about my background in German, and because I have almost a year of self-study under my belt we were quickly able to move ahead to more complex subjects. In those 30 minutes I got a preview of her personality and teaching style, which will be compatible with my personality and learning style. I got really good vibes from her, and if we had been incompatible, I would have sensed it within the first 10 minutes, but now I am motivated to hire her for ongoing tutoring! When I asked Szilvia if German native speakers in real life conversations would be patient with my awkward student mistakes, she assured me that they would because most Americans who travel to Germany expect the locals to speak English to them, and that upsets the locals, but they would be totally willing to help me when they see my effort, enthusiasm and interest in learning their "Muttersprache" (mother language, i.e., German). Her patience and kindness in answering this one question told me everything I need to know about her, At the end of our 30 minutes she gave me my first "Hausaufgaben" (homework) to complete for our first full-length lesson, so she can further assess my skill levels, and from there she will know how to most effectively teach me. She has already identified my strengths and seems to have a good instinct about the areas I will need the most help with. I believe she will be the perfect tutor to help me master German grammar and put me on the path to future success as a confident, fluent speaker, reader, and writer!
