Ambassador

One of our best tutors. Quality profile, experience in their field, verified qualifications and a great response time. Claudia will be happy to arrange your first German lesson.

About Claudia

German native and having also lived and worked in France, I am perfectly qualified in German (Native Proficiency) and French (Bilingual Proficiency) languages and cultures. I’ve been living in North Carolina since 2016. I taught as an Adjunct Professor for French and German at Lenoir Rhyne University, which was a complete revelation to me. I've also had the opportunity to tutor a learner who left the US for Austria.

About the lesson

We should meet if you want to - start learning a new language closely related to English. (They are both part of the West Germanic languages.) - discuss topics of your choice to keep your German fluent - prepare for a job interview or an exam - do business with German companies - or live in a German-speaking country ...

Each scheduled hour provides you with 45 minutes of dedicated face-to-face interaction, followed by 15 minutes to ensure everything is up to date and that personalized materials are ready for you in your folder. This structure maximizes your learning experience and ensures you have the resources you need at your fingertips.

My teaching method depends on your needs and wishes. I prefer real conversations with you, listening to you, and getting to know you. This way, I can prepare topics, especially for your lessons. I have lived and worked in different countries, so I have experience as a newbie in a foreign country, which is very helpful when teaching a language.

Perfect! We are a mother (49) and daughter (12) duo. We decided to learn German because of our heritage and wish to travel to Germany in the future. Claudia is awesome. We both have zero German at this point and her lessons are amazing. Her material and slides are clear and instructive. Along the lines of layered learning. Also, she tailors her lessons to our wants and wishes as well. Injecting insight into German history, culture, geography and so on. She is providing everything one needs for success. The rest is up to us.

Claudia taught me more German in four months, than most have tried in years. She puts a lot of effort into her lessons, and always makes it a fun experience. Claudia is repetitive, determined and never failed to explain things to me in ways that I would better understand them. I was able to confidently take what she taught me in that short amount of time to Germany and efficiently talk to native German speakers.

She not only provides you with the information to learn the formal textbook things, but also provides a perspective as a native German speaker that you don’t get otherwise. Hands-down, a wonderful German professor!

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced learner, Claudia is your best shot! She understands the learning process and quickly finds your strengths, helping you be successful in learning the language. She helped me gain confidence to speak and understand grammatical structure in a simple manner. When I met her, I was overwhelmed by articles and small details, but with her, in a couple of months, I was actually speaking and having conversations! I will always be thankful for her patience and dedication. Claudia has a great sense of humor and is really fun to work with! I highly recommend her as a teacher and tutor.

Claudia is one very extraordinary teacher! Having her myself as a professor really helped me grasp the German language. Claudia is a very thorough, thoughtful and charismatic teacher and those traits really help when it comes to language understanding, recognition, and practice. There was never a dull moment in class time because even in struggling times Claudia helped us in different approaches to grasp the subject. I do believe that Claudia is one of those teachers that is eager to help students truly grasp a subject.

Do you speak this language fluently because of your origins or because a teacher inspired you to learn?
I speak German fluently because of my origins.
Can you name a living, historical or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?
Born in Germany, Albert Einstein is one of the most famous scientists and mathematicians:

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."

Meaning: It's important to remember that the things that truly matter in life cannot be measured by possessions, property, or money. Happiness, peace, and love are priceless and cannot be bought with any amount of wealth or materialistic things. It's important to focus on what truly matters and not get caught up in pursuing materialistic possessions.
Is there a typical word, phrase, tradition or behaviour in the language that you particularly like?
Contemporary German traditions include 'Kaffee und Kuchen,' the equivalent of an English Afternoon tea. In this, friends and family gather for coffee and cake in the afternoon.
Why does speaking this language matter to you?
Speaking German makes people better listeners. When you speak German, you learn to read or listen to every word carefully until the end to understand the meaning fully. This skill is crucial, especially when understanding complex sentences where the most important word, such as a verb, can be located at the end.
What is the main difficulty in learning this language and what can help the process of learning?
Learning a new language, especially grammar, can be challenging, but a dedicated German or French teacher can create an interactive and personalized learning environment. Find a tutor who tailors lessons to your needs and makes learning enjoyable. Speaking the language, engaging in exercises, and achievable goals help to stay motivated. Activities like reading, listening to music, watching videos, and playing games aid in language learning.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to your language learning or your days at school.
When I was a young girl, about 6 or 7 years old, my family and I visited the Italian part of Switzerland. We would go to a small shop every morning to get our bread rolls for breakfast. One day, I decided to be independent and go on my own to get the bread rolls. I tried ordering in Italian, which I had been hearing for the past few days. I managed to get my five rolls, but the shopkeeper burst out laughing, which confused me. It was only when my parents went to the shop the next time and heard the story that they explained to me that I had mistakenly asked for "cinque bambini" (5 children) instead of "cinque panini" (5 bread rolls).
How has travel or a specific trip helped you to increase your skill and knowledge of the language?
My company in Germany sent me to Paris to manage an IT project for 18 months. It was necessary for me to become fluent in French quickly. I read a French newspaper every morning on my commute, even if I didn't understand most of it. I listened to French radio or watched French television exclusively, and I had limited contact with friends and family during this time. I made friends with colleagues who were patient enough to communicate with me. After about six months in Paris, my French improved significantly, and I ultimately stayed in France for another 25 years.
What makes you a Superprof in language?
I have a broad and in-depth knowledge of German and French language and their culture, as I lived in both countries for about 25 years and go back regularly.

I served as a French and German Adjunct Professor at Lenoir Rhyne University in Hickory NC.

I am a dedicated tutor who fosters emotional connections with students to stimulate and motivate them.

I do my best to make my classes interesting while educating with engaging activities.

I encourage students' self-awareness because if they want to know more about the topic, the language study will not be limited to the classroom if they find an interest in continuing to learn independently.

I consciously listen to my students to get to know them better during orientation and lessons. I set new objectives, choose appropriate materials, plan my classes, and create dynamics when needed.

I know how to use the resources we have on hand today. A wide range of teaching resources makes language teaching and learning a much richer and more entertaining world.

Originally from Germany, I am an experienced German Language / Culture Tutor and Professor. Let's engage in motivating conversations and lessons to help you achieve fluency. Deutsch lernen macht Spaß!
