Would you like to join them? Students from Austin are welcome to join our online classes, whether you are learning at Lake Travis High School, Bowie High School, University of Texas - Austin, or would like to incorporate learning German into an adult work-life balance. Each of our online classes is taught by an expert German teacher and attended by students virtually in our state-of-the-art online learning environment.
Learning the German language offers many benefits. German is, of course, the official language of Germany and Austria, but it is one of the official languages in Switzerland as well. German is loosely related to English, Dutch, and Frisian, as they are all Indo-European languages. This means it may be a logical language for a native English speaker to pick up as a second or third language. Knowing German may aid you in finding your way around when traveling internationally, especially in German-speaking countries. Germany has long been known as a science and innovation hub. If you wish to work for a company that does business in Germany, knowing the language could get you far. If you are less excited about international opportunities, you may still benefit from picking up German. Employers often give preference to candidates who are bilingual, so learning the German language may even assist you in your current career path.
What will an Austin German course look like?
Students studying German will learn online within our virtual learning environment. They will be able to communicate with and interact with their teacher and fellow classmates via webcam. There will also be plenty of opportunities for students to collaborate across locations using an interactive online blackboard. This can be used to see notes the teacher is writing, for students to write, edit their peers' writing, and to work together on projects. Students will learn about the core components of the language including reading, writing, speech, and pronunciation.
Varsity Tutors offers Austin German classes that are dependent upon students current learning level within the German language. This means each class can be catered to its specific students' learning desires. For example, beginning students may learn basic vocabulary and common phrases. One of the first nuances students can learn about is the special care that nouns receive in the language. Nouns are capitalized in written form and also change inflection based on case, number, and gender. Noun cases include accusative, nominative, genitive, and dative. Noun numbers include singular and plural, and noun gender are feminine, masculine, and neutral.
Students enrolled in an Austin German course can also get supplemental learning featuring German culture and history to help deepen their understanding of the language. This can include practical practice of daily activities such as navigating a Frankfurt transit station or purchasing tickets for an opera in Vienna. Students will be able to work along with their peers and teacher to cover difficult concepts. They may also schedule one-on-one time with their teacher to go through something that may be tough for the student to understand. A one-on-one virtual meeting with an expert teacher is held similarly to a college professor's"office-hours" and may give the student the extra they need to overcome obstacles in learning German.

Thoughtful (thought full!) humans bring inquisition to everything. That means they think about math but also sports and love and history and progress. I hope to help not only with specific learning goals but also to guide in the formation of tools that will help students explore the world more...

...passion about personalized education. I studied English and Film, with a lot of everything else thrown in! As someone who's been stuck in classes that didn't do anything for me, I value the fact that everyone learns differently, and that variety and context, though integral to an engaged learning experience, are often lacking in traditional classrooms. I have remote teaching experience, so I'm looking forward to tutoring a wide variety of students online!... My teaching philosophy revolves around the individual. That's why I love one-on-one tutoring - everybody learns differently, and needs different things to help them reach their goals. I believe in taking the time to figure out what each of my students need, and then doing my best to provide that for them!
