Susie
Certified German Tutor
Susie
Current Undergrad Student, Computer Science Duke University
9+ Years Tutoring

Learning German means wrestling with case endings, separable verbs, and a sentence structure that puts the verb in places English speakers don't expect. Susie has studied German extensively and teaches grammar as a logical system — once students see the patterns behind accusative versus dative, for instance, the rules stop feeling arbitrary. She pairs structural drills with reading and listening practice to build real fluency.

Zachary
BA CUNY City College • Doctor of Philosophy, German Harvard University
6+ Years Tutoring

Earning a PhD in German at Harvard means Zachary has spent years reading, writing, and thinking in the language — from Kant's dense philosophical prose to contemporary academic discourse. He teaches grammar not as a set of rules to memorize but as a system with its own internal logic, making case endings and word order click for students at every level. Whether the goal is passing a college course or reading Goethe in the original, he knows how to get there.

Hani
Current Undergrad Student, Mechanical Engineering Northeastern University
9+ Years Tutoring

Hani studied German through two levels and brings an engineer's systematic approach to the language — mapping out case declensions, verb conjugation patterns, and word-order rules as logical structures rather than lists to memorize. For students working through German 1 or 2, he connects grammar concepts to practical sentence-building so that rules like accusative vs. dative stop feeling arbitrary.

John
BA University of Notre Dame • Juris Doctor, Legal Studies University of Georgia School of Law
7+ Years Tutoring

Learning German means wrestling with case endings, separable verbs, and a word-order system that feels alien to English speakers. John breaks these structures down systematically, connecting grammar rules to patterns students can actually internalize rather than just memorize from a chart. His experience across every level of German coursework means he can adjust complexity on the fly.

MS Loyola University-New Orleans • BA Humboldt University Berlin Germany
10+ Years Tutoring

Cornelia teaches German across all four levels, from nominative case basics to navigating subordinate clauses and the subjunctive mood. She integrates games, images, and cultural context into grammar-heavy lessons — an approach that keeps vocabulary and case endings from feeling like pure memorization.

Thomas
MS Duke University • BA University of Rhode Island
10+ Years Tutoring

Having studied German as a full undergraduate major, Thomas brings a depth that goes well beyond tourist-level vocabulary — he digs into case systems, subordinate clause word order, and the grammatical gender patterns that trip up English speakers most. Whether a student is working through Konjunktiv II or learning to decode compound nouns, he connects the rules to how the language actually sounds and reads in practice.

Silvia
BA Paris Lodron Universitaet Salzburg • Doctor of Philosophy, Political Science and Government Paris Lodron Universitt Salzburg
9+ Years Tutoring

As a native German speaker from Austria, Silvia teaches the language the way it's actually spoken — with attention to cases, gendered articles, and verb placement that trips up English speakers most. She tutored her own son in German for four years to maintain his fluency, so she understands exactly where American students stumble with dative versus accusative or separable prefix verbs. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how naturally she makes those tricky grammar patterns stick.

Nadja
MS University of Wales • BA University of vienna
10+ Years Tutoring

Teaching German at every level from beginner to advanced, Nadja is a native-level speaker who understands the grammar hurdles — case endings, separable verbs, subordinate clause word order — that trip up English speakers most. She integrates conversation practice with structured grammar drills so students build fluency and accuracy at the same time.

Daniel
MS Duke University • MS Duquesne University
1+ Years Tutoring

Six months of full-immersion study in Berlin gave Daniel a feel for German that textbooks alone can't replicate — the way case endings sound natural in conversation, or how separable verbs behave in real speech versus grammar drills. He earned his B.A. in German from Duke with a focus that included twentieth-century German history and politics, which means his lessons often connect language to the culture that shapes it.

Jhanelle
BA University of Chicago
8+ Years Tutoring

German's case system and word order trip up almost every learner at some point — accusative versus dative, verb placement in subordinate clauses, adjective endings that seem to follow no pattern. Jhanelle, who holds a degree in German Studies, breaks these grammar rules into logical systems and builds conversational confidence alongside them so students can actually use what they learn.
