Online Tutoring - German

Focused goals for real progress

Online German tutoring works best with clear targets: text comprehension, precise analysis, strong writing, grammar that supports style, and confident speaking. Each session sets one concrete goal (e.g., “intro + topic sentence for an Erörterung”) and ends with a short reflection.

What we train, exactly

Reading: close reading of fiction and non-fiction, identifying argument lines, tone, and rhetorical devices.
Writing: Erörterung, text analysis, summaries, and exam-style introductions/conclusions.
Language: sentence structure, verb placement, punctuation, spelling, and academic register.

Tools that make learning active

Shared whiteboards for planning paragraphs, live annotation on model answers and quick polls for grammar choices. Saved notes and short clips mean you can revisit key steps before the next session.

Abitur & Unterstufe: same method, adapted level

Unterstufe focuses on foundations: structure, grammar habits, and short, clear arguments.
Upper years/Abitur add depth: argument weighting, analysis of devices, and elegant linking.

Small habits between sessions

A five-minute rewrite of one paragraph, a voice note summarising the main idea, or a micro-quiz. Tiny, consistent practice locks in progress.

Pro tip

Keep a “methods notebook” with your own best topic sentences and connectors. Use it to build every essay faster.
