Best Private English Lessons Vienna Near Me

4worldlovers: 1-on-1 lessons can make the German grammar become far more accessible, because you can ask everything you've ever wanted to know and discuss it with me in English. So if the direct method, used in most language schools in Vienna, doesn't work for you and learning in a group with 8-10 other students doesn't fit your needs, then probably you should try a couple of private lessons. Especially in the beginning it's advisable to go through the German grammar in English, by the way of translating -> comparing -> explaining. Private lessons have the advantage to learn individually and at your own pace. Together we'll sharpen your passive skills in reading and listening, and practice your active skills in speaking and writing. I'll make sure you understand grammar, enhance your communication skills and build your confidence in speaking German. Also available online via Skype / ZOOM / WhatsApp / Google Meet / Hangouts / FB Messenger, or on the phone.

Additionally to grammar, which I really like to teach and can show you how it works, my classes focus on spoken communication: Vocabulary and pronunciation training, everyday conversation and small talk. Whether you're new to German or looking to fine tune what you already know, we’ll make your German course to suit your needs. The lessons are hands-on and practical, I don’t use mass market course books, but hand-picked books and my knowledge based on my solid experience in teaching and translating. I aim to create personalised courses which specifically address your level, your goals and your schedule. Enjoy the flexibility and personal attention of a 1-to-1 course in our home-office in Vienna 2nd, outdoors in Vienna City Center, or in your company.

Learning German face-to-face offers benefits to both teacher and student alike. As your private teacher I can costumize your lessons to your preferences, whether you'd like to have a brush-up course, an exam preparation, a grammar course or 'just conversation'. You can also tell me when you prefer a certain method or a specific book, which skills you want to practice most (listening, speaking, reading or writing) and on what area you'd like to focus, e.g. vocabulary, grammar, everyday Austrian, working with texts for your job or the university, technical language or any other special field etc.

For your orientation: Beginners need usually 30-40 lessons to acquire a basic knowledge of the language, e.g. level A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, and it will take approx. another 30-40 lessons to reach the intermediate level B1.

German Conversation Training is for you if your spoken German needs polishing and if you want to get (more) comfortable in conversation. In addition to standard German classes I also offer conversation lessons with focus on spoken language to help you gain more confidence in speaking if you're not used to talk in German. Private conversation training is highly interactive with about 50% of learner participation, since you are the only one learner, so you'll speak a lot based on question-answer-sequences and eventually be able to automatize sentence structures and word order. We'll build up an individual vocabulary for you and you'll practice it without pressure in a relaxed athmosphere. That way youl'll experience success in speaking German and become gradually a confident speaker.

We can discuss your questions about living in Vienna and chat about the Viennese, the tasks and everyday challenges after relocating, different work environment and culture, how to fit in, dealing with homesickness, feelings of culture shock, intercultural partnerships, the curiosities of day-to-day life in Austria, or any other topic you'd want to. I'll help you to find your 'German voice' and use your knowledge actively.
