Bio:
Individual handling with each student, motivation delight and enjoyment while learning. Exercises are depending on the age, level and type of student. Most important is free conversation. For adults grammar will be explained through conversation and step by step. Thanks to my background of working as a childminder I have a lot of experience in organizing lessons with children too. I have a collection of useful worksheets and texts to work with. I'd love to be your German/Russian teacher!
