Once in our lives we all probably have had a tutor in one of the subjects for school or even in college. As a school student, we don’t give much thoughts on what to expect from a teacher, from a tutor or from a subject in school, but as an adult we have some expectations. Especially when it comes to the modern way of teaching and learning, namely E-sessions!
Our e-session are always for 30 minutes and there will not be more than three students in the same class. This will give everybody plenty of options to practice.
I have been teaching for more than a year now as a Living Language German E-tutor and these are the things you can expect:
- Sehr viel Spass! (A lot of fun) E-session can be fun because you do not have a strict “teacher/tutor” setting like in a physical school building but rather having a friend, your e-tutor, help you.
- Struktur und Hilfestellung (structure and support) If you are a beginner, you should definitely sign up for one of our Orientation sessions where we go over the content that Living Language provides and how can get the best out of all outlets that offer. At the end, I always give some personal advice based on your own learning habits.
- Wiederholung (repetition) You may sign up to as many classes as you like even the same level. Constant repetition will help you to store information in your long-term memory.
- Ausprache üben (practice pronunciation) Many of my students enjoy practicing and focusing on their pronunciation and intonation. You might start laughing when I demonstrate how to practice your German R or the ich- vs. ach- sounds. So the fun factor is guaranteed.
- Spezifische Fragen stellen (Ask specific questions) You can ask questions you have always wanted to ask while you were studying on your own but nobody was around to ask.
One thing is guaranteed, even when you do not speak any word of German at the end of the session you will have mastered your first few sentences and I think that’s worth trying one session at least.
