I have been a certified teacher for 25 years. I love the "ah ha" moment when students get something, especially if they have struggled along the way. I use a wide variety of methods and tailor them to what works best for each individual student. Although my true love is teaching German, I also teach many students whose first language is not English, so I also have experience with ESL students. There's a saying that "great oaks grow from little acorns." Homework, feedback, evaluating progress...

Our recent lesson revolved our cultural discussion rather than normal language skills as she helped prepare me for a German delegation visit. I appreciated her wanting to help me with the upcoming meeting.

Barbara combines a great deal of teaching experience and first hand knowledge of Germany to make each session worthwhile and enjoyable. She listened to what I wanted to accomplish and then tailored a program that would fit my needs best. I look forward to our weekly session.

She supplements the book with helpful handouts. She shares some of her experiences living and traveling in Germany to teach us about German culture. She tailors the lessons to our needs and our pace.
