FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The price is based on an hour (60 minutes). Of course, depending on the customer's interest, there can be online sessions of 45 minutes, or 90 minutes, etc. Unless the customer has special wishes (e.g. extensive preparations for the online classes) the price is $60 per online session of 60 minutes.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First of all, I listen carefully, very carefully. I believe it is essential for an excellent job to know precisely what my client wants to accomplish. Understanding this is the prerequisite to giving good advice, guidance, and a strategy to follow to reach these goals. There will be a permanent interaction between my client and myself to monitor the progress, eventually speed up the tempo, or, if necessary, slow down.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My entire professional life, I have been teaching languages. In Germany, it was mainly English; in the United States, German, English, and English as a Second Language. I graduated from Humboldt University in Berlin (Germany) with an M.A. in English/ESL. In the United States, I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara, with an M.A. in German language, culture, and history. I was awarded a Ph.D. degree from LaSalle University in Education.
