Hallo, und herzlich Wilkommen!
My name is Sarah K. and I am a 25 year old native German speaker. I was born and raised in Austria and moved to the United States at the age of 20. I was an Au Pair in New Jersey and one of my daily tasks were helping my host child with her homework and introducing her to the German language. At the end of my one year long stay with the family the 6 year old girl was able to say full sentences and hold short conversations in German.
Being a language learner myself, I love the feeling of learning new words, phrases or structures in a foreing language and suddenly seeing a whole new world unfold (I am currently teaching myselg Spanish). My goal is it to help you have that very same feeling and experience every time you are learing something new with me.
I believe that there are 2 very important things to keep in mind when you are learning a new language:
1) It is important to have a goal. Whether it is to be able to have a basic conversation withing 6 months, or passing a test by the end of the year. We will comeup with a personal goal for you or your child and focus on it and constatly work towards it, lesson by lesson and step by step.
2) Have fun. It's one of the most efficient ways when it comes to learning a new language. I know that German has a reputation of being a very dificult language but it can still be fun to learn it. Playing around with different vocabularies and grammar is a great way to remember the words and strutures.
I look forward to hearing from you and help you or your child with all things German.
Bis bald, see you soon!

I am a current Bryn Mawr college undergraduate (Junior) with a double major in Latin and German, and a minor in Comparative Literature. I have been studying Latin for 10 years now, and German for 2. I have tutored English for 3 years as well! I offer tutoring for Latin, German, and English/English Literature. I absolutely love language! If I could, I would learn every language in the world. I want to spend the rest of my life teaching langauges, and helping students fall in love with Latin and German the same way I did.
I've worked with students who need general help to improve their language skills both in the target language and in English, students who want help with vocabulary for the SAT or spelling bees, students who need extra help to prepare for specific tests in school, and students who want to start learning from scratch. I've worked with the students's teachers specifically, and helped parents understand the options for teaching from the beginning too.
