I have over 15 years of experience teaching both adults and children and believe in continuous education. I have completed 4 TESOL courses and received certificates in:

I apply my educational psychology background to employ various learning strategies in the classroom to ensure achievement. Utilizing visual cues, I encourage students to practice their grammar and vocabulary skills in conversational exercises. With a vast collection of books, games and audio/visual materials, I have compiled complete courses for each proficiency level.

I taught in a Sonderschule (special ed. school) for my internship and translated numerous documents within the university as well as at an institute outside the university. I also worked as an interpreter at conferences in Frankfurt, Germany.

Venu, 123 lessons with Carrie

Enthusiastic and informative German tutor

In the first lesson, Carrie reviewed some basic German grammar, which was very helpful. She also spoke German right away with me which I also appreciated. She directed me to German books and videos to help improve my German which are great resources. Looking forward to the next lesson.

She is good at figuring out what students have to learn. I had a proficiency test for listening and speaking and she knew what were my weak points instantly. She also recommended useful English learning material so that I could practice English until next class.
