Native German with experience and degree teaches German all levels in Somerset West

Background

Hello, my name is Elke. I come from Berlin but have lived abroad in South Africa for the last 15 years. Moving a lot means learning new languages. I often found that my teachers talked too much, while I was so eager to say something in the language I learnt. I myself therefore try to teach with focus on the student. Encouragement and positive feedback, listening and also laughing together from time to time can enhance the process of learning.
I taught German in Denmark, both adults and students in grade 7,8 and 9. In South Africa I taught students at University as well as private students from home.
My biggest motivation is the joy I see in people who manage to express themselves in the new language
