2nd: Choose your style
Textbook based
Courses are based on a modern textbook, but still adapted to your needs, abilities, and interests. This gives you the advantage of a more structured learning experience and works well if you prefer a more traditional way of learning. (I like to work with the publisher Cornelsen: Das Leben A1 but I have experience with all big publishers.)
Independent Syllabus
Courses are based on an independent course syllabus designed by me, which focuses 100% on your needs, abilities, and interests. This gives you the advantage to directly influence your learning content and the flexibility to focus on certain parts. This course works well if you like more freedom in your learning experience.
