• Provided high quality language lessons to students of various backgrounds, special focus on Conversational Courses and Writing. • Organised schedules and made appointments with students as well as prepared the lessons in advance. • Used a variety of different language learning books and chose the most suitable exercises depending on the student’s level, background and interests. • Used different approaches, such as various mediums, music or videos/movies to match the student’s interest and level in order to increase the motivation and excitement for the language. • Analysed student learning and planned and administered a variety of appropriate assessments. • Supported a friend’s language school for businesses as a substitute teacher for German. Lessons in this case took place at the respective business and in front of an actual ‘class’.
