About this Gig

Most German lessons fail before they start - they teach grammar 

before confidence. That's backwards. I learned this over 25 years 

of teaching, and built my own method around it: Effective Learning.


Three parts, every time:


Concentration on the Essentials - we focus on what actually moves 

you forward, not everything at once.


Motivation Through Meaningful Agreements - we set real goals 

together, yours, not a textbook chapter.


Relaxation Through Creative Expression - I teach through stories, 

not drills. Language sticks when it's alive.


25 years working with learners of every age as a kindergarten 

principal in Germany, an educator in Shanghai, and now a German 

teacher in the US. I've also written bilingual children's books, 

which I use as real teaching material. I also offer A1 to C2 level test preparation.


Best for adults preparing to move to a German-speaking country, and 

families raising bilingual kids.


If German didn't stick before, that's not on you. Let's try it a 

different way.
