About
As a native of Germany, I understand the importance of patience when learning a foreign language. With over 6 years of tutoring experience and experience as a Substitute Teacher, I take pride in helping others learn. Both online and in-person tutoring is available; I'm located in South Carolina. For teaching, I use a great textbook and Grammar book that students have found helpful. Homework is given when necessary. I'm flexible with my hours to accommodate your needs, however, I expect students to make lessons a priority rather than an impulsive decision. I focus on teaching beginners but college students are welcome and provided with test preparation. Discounts are offered when booking 3 lessons or more. My hours are from Monday through Friday 9 am until 5 pm EST. To get a sense of whether we're a good fit, I offer a 15-minute free Skype consultation. Please note that my cancellation policy is as follows: no charge when cancellation occurs 24 hours prior to our lesson, however, full payment will be required for cancellations made after that time. As a full-time tutor, I expect students to be respectful of my time. Thank you for considering my tutoring services.

For roughly a month, I've been attending German lessons taught by Manuela. Her professionalism, understanding, and courteousness are top-notch. She suggested great books for our lessons and continues to recommend excellent resources for independent use. As someone who started out at a beginner-to-intermediate level, Manuela has been flexible in tailoring the lessons to suit my needs. I eagerly anticipate each weekly session with her!

Since November, I have had the pleasure of having weekly German lessons with Manuela. I find her to be not only enjoyable to work with, but also extremely patient and eager to shed light on any uncertainties I may have. As I prepare for my forthcoming trip to Germany, our lessons have been thoughtfully structured to cover grammar, vocabulary and conversation in a thorough and beneficial manner. I wholeheartedly advise anyone interested in traveling to Germany or anyone just seeking to learn the language to consider Manuela as their teacher.

For approximately two months now, I have enrolled in German classes with Manuela and have thoroughly relished my experience. German is a necessity for me, as I am getting ready to reside in Germany for some time. Manuela is incredibly amiable and sociable, and she frequently inquires about my arrangements for my stay in Germany. Her talent lies in her capability to evaluate my proficiency level and customize the lessons to my progress and abilities. At times the language can be perplexing, but Manuela has assured me and instilled self-assurance. I enthusiastically suggest Manuela as a German tutor!
