Varsity Tutors can help you out if you are looking for Chicago German lessons. Taking German lessons is a great way to improve your language skills. Students at the University of Chicago or any other school in the Chicago area who are interested in the German language, history, or culture can benefit from German instruction. If you are considering traveling to Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, either for pleasure, for work, or to study, you can also benefit from studying German.
German belongs to the Indo-European language family, but also to the West Germanic group, like English and Dutch. There are a number of different dialects of spoken German. High German dialects are usually spoken in the central and southern highlands of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. High German is also used in literature, higher education, and in the media. Low German dialects, on the other hand, are usually spoken in the lowlands of northern Germany. Unlike spoken German, written German is generally the same in all places.
What skills might I learn when taking Chicago German lessons?
German lessons can help you improve your understanding of the language. You can either study together with other students in a virtual classroom or choose to sign up for private mentoring with a German tutor. Both can help you with your language studies.
When you sign up for Chicago German lessons, you can get the opportunity to study with other students in a collaborative environment. Since the classes take place online, there is no need to endure a commute in order to take them. Taking a virtual class provides great value. It allows you to save money while giving you flexibility and convenience at the same time.
German has many rules that are different than in English. Your instructor can focus on these rules. For example, your instructor might cover noun inflection based on gender, case, or number. A noun can have different inflections that are dictated by whether it is a masculine noun, a feminine noun, or a neutral noun.
Studying in a class can provide a great opportunity for practicing your German language skills. Many students studying German will not have many opportunities to practice the language. This is especially true if you are studying alone. When you study in a class, you can speak German with the instructor and with other students during class discussions. Your instructor may opt to teach sections of the classes entirely in German, depending on your skill level.
During class, you can ask questions, and they can be answered by the instructor in real time. Alternatively, the instructor may pass the question on to the other students so as to encourage a group discussion. If you feel as if you need some private time to ask your instructor your questions, you can request that as well.
Some students opt to go with private instruction from a Chicago German tutor. You can get one-on-one language instruction either online or in person. When studying with your private instructor online, you can take advantage of our Live Learning Platform and our virtual whiteboard in order to interact with the instructor. As long as you have an internet connection, you can take these lessons regardless of whether you are at home, at school, or at work. Alternatively, for those who prefer getting instruction in person, you can meet at the same place as your Chicago German tutor. In-person tutoring sessions can be arranged at your home or at another location that works for you. If you are studying German at Acero Schools Chicago, Taft High School, or another high school in Chicago, getting private German instruction can help supplement your in-class learning.
How can I sign up for Chicago German lessons?
Signing up for German lessons is simple and easy; all you have to do to get started is make a call to Varsity Tutors. Different students have different needs. Some might want to quickly review what they are studying in their German classes at school by taking a supplemental online German course. Others might be adult learners who have a busy schedule but want to set up private sessions with a Chicago German tutor in order to build their command the language and pursue fluency. Our educational consultants can help you figure out which kind of German language instruction is best for you. They can either help you enroll in a class or connect you with a private language instructor who can work with you one-on-one and give you individualized attention.

I am a very passionate learner and I would be delighted to share that love for learning to other students. My empathetic mindset, work ethic, and persistence for success is what I value most about myself and how it can positively impact others.... My philosophies behind teaching are that there is not a single method to learn a subject, but multiple approaches to learning it. My belief is that using all the resources acquirable will lead to a far more optimal learning experience. It will also reveal which methods are more suitable to the student. Finally, I believe that learning should never be rushed. It is far more important to have a firm basis for understanding and a thorough understanding so that building upon it can lead to a successful learning process.
