Work Experience
Private German teacher
3/2012 – present
 I am currently teaching German to a 17-year-old girl. We meet four times a
week on Skype for an hour. We speak almost exclusively in German and
practice reading and writing German with the help of workbooks, online articles
and stories, for example. This past year we read the first Harry Potter book
together and discussed the themes and characters of the book at length.
German teacher
2/2009 – 6/2009
 I was a private German teacher for about 5 months. I taught German to a
woman who was preparing to work for a German company here in the U.S. She
spoke no German when we started, but after 25 hours a week of lessons for
about five months, she picked up the language and eventually became fluent.
We did a lot of grammar exercises, reading, translation and speaking.
