The advantages and key objectives of our individual, private lessons in the German language at our language school
- The German teacher can focus 100 per cent of his attention on the student´s needs and objectives.
- The topics of the German lessons and the priorities can be negotiated between the learner and the teacher.
- Specific needs and requirements of the individual student can be met by a tailor-made programme of teaching.
- Individual German lessons are suitable for learners who study the German language for very different purposes – for work, office communication, business, travel, holidays or simply for their personal enjoyment.
- The progress of learning is maximised because of the very high intensity of the individual German lessons.
- Practical language skills, such as speaking, listening, reacting, writing and understanding the spoken and written German language, are improved very fast.
- The student´s confidence in the everyday use of the language is increased by effective oral communication in the German language.
- Specialized aspects of language teaching, such as business German, technical or scientific German, can be integrated.
- Topics which are of interest are discussed, depending on the student´s needs, e.g. politics, economics, education, sciences, medicine, history, culture, sports, arts, literature, tourism and travel.
- Students have the opportunity to immerse themselves completely in the German language by speaking German throughout the lesson.
- A profound grammatical knowledge, a wide range of German vocabulary combined with communicative competence are built up.
- At the beginning of the individual German lessons a detailed diagnosis concerning grammar, vocabulary and speaking skills is carried out in connection with an assessment of the student´s needs. Thus the student´s precise level of the language and his specific requirements are taken into consideration and are the basis of the individual curriculum for the German course.
- Individual lessons can start any time throughout the year – in most cases already a few days after registration.
- The appointments for the lessons are flexibly made between the teacher and the student according to the student´s wishes.
- The intensity of the German lessons (e.g. once or twice per week, every second day, every day) and the duration of the German course are also planned according to the student´s needs.
- Regular tests throughout the language course provide comprehensive information about the student´s progress in German.
- The student does not miss any German lessons if he is not able to turn up for an appointment because he has the opportunity of cancelling and postponing lessons free of charge.
- At the end of the individual German course the students receive a certificate of attendance, which can also provide information about the contents and key objectives of the German lessons and an assessment of the progress made by the student.
- Individual German lessons can also focus on preparing students for national or international language tests, such as the DSH test (DSH-Prüfung) for students who intend to study at a German university or college.
