Students who have chosen to study the German language can sign up for Portland German lessons by reaching out to Varsity Tutors. Learning a foreign language is commonly required as part of a school's degree program at the high school and college levels. If you're like many students, you'll begin learning German during your first years of high school or college. If you're looking for some extra help with verb prefixes or pronunciation, Portland German lessons are a convenient, trustworthy way to practice.
What are the perks of the different types of Portland German lessons?
Varsity Tutors can set you up with two types of German lessons: live, online classes and private German instruction. There are advantages to each, but no matter which option you choose, you'll learn from an expert in German who enjoys sharing the language with others. Portland German tutors and class instructors can provide comprehensive language guidance. Plus, working with an experienced German speaker could increase your confidence in and understanding of German.
When it comes to language learning, one of the most common pitfalls for students is the lack of opportunity to practice using the language. Speaking and hearing German on a regular basis is vital for retention of skills like increasing vocabulary, honing pronunciation, and memorizing the rules unique to the German language. German classes and private instruction can help with this by allowing you to converse and listen to the language. Depending on your level of proficiency, an instructor may even choose to lead portions of your class or tutoring session entirely in German to provide an immersive experience.
Students who enjoy working toward a common goal with others might flourish in the camaraderie of a virtual German class. You'll attend your class by signing into a virtual classroom, where you'll be able to interact with your teacher and the other students in the class. This environment features collaborative study opportunities and lively discussion to help students build a broader understanding of German grammar, syntax, and so on. However, if you need additional help, it's easy to arrange for one-on-one time with your instructor as well.
If you prefer this type of focused, one-on-one attention, enlisting the help of a Portland German tutor may be the option that suits you best. Private instruction gives you the opportunity to work on your pronunciation with a supportive mentor. Since your time with a personal mentor is geared exclusively toward helping you reach for your language learning goals, you can spend as much time as you need refining your understanding of German word order or noun inflection. A private instructor can also use materials and techniques to help you engage with the language based on your goals, strengths, preferred learning style, and even your extracurricular interests.
How can I enroll in German lessons?
Regardless of whether you choose to take a class, work with a private German instructor, or both, it's easy to fit extra help into your schedule. New class sections start monthly, and classes are available at multiple times of the day in order to accommodate your schedule. The virtual nature of these classes provides you with additional convenience. Since you don't have to show up at a physical classroom, you can cut out the hassle of commuting to campus.
For those who choose private instruction, you, too, can avoid the stress of trying to fit yet another appointment into your schedule. Students who opt for private tutoring can use our Live Learning Platform to meet with a German tutor online from wherever they are. The Live Learning Platform allows you to use video chat and a virtual whiteboard to have a productive, interactive session with your private instructor. If you prefer, you also have the option to arrange an in-person meeting with your tutor at the location of your choice, whether that's at your home, your school's library, your favorite cafe, or any other location where you like to study.
Learning a new language can be a challenge, but repetition, simulated immersion, and the guidance of an expert can help you make progress. Learning German requires your mind to construct entirely new cognitive networks, so it's wise to make sure you have the support you need. Whether you're a sophomore at Wilson High School, a senior at Reed College, or looking to build your language learning skills for any other reason, German lessons can be a great way to study. Reach out to Varsity Tutors to get started in Portland German lessons, tutoring, or both. If you call today, you could be sitting down with your new German instructor in as little as 24 hours.

...German and continental philosophy. While this area is fascinating in itself, I am very thankful for my philosophical education because it has also sowed within me a deep commitment to teaching, teaching that aims not only for understanding, but also for creating and encouraging interest in specific topics and in learning itself. While I agree that the goal of teaching is to help someone learn a certain topic, the greatest achievement in teaching I have...
