Wie finde ich die passende Nachhilfe in Deutsch?
How do I find the right tutoring for German?
There are plenty of tutors out there, so it is not always easy to find the right person or institution from the large selection. First of all, think about whether you want private tutoring or a professional learning institute and whether the lessons should be one-to-one or in groups. Once you have made your decision, you should ask around, especially among friends, what experiences they have already had and also look online for reviews from former students. You can do this via Facebook or, in the case of schools, via Google. You should note that German tutoring institutes usually only allow you to learn on the school's premises, so you or your child will have to travel to the tutor for each lesson. Private tutors usually offer to give lessons at your home, thus saving you time and travel expenses. You should take this into account when making your choice, as well as the qualifications of the tutor. Do not book a subscription in advance that obliges you to attend tutoring sessions for ten lessons or even half a year. Instead, ask for a trial lesson and see how the working relationship works and how the learning methods suit you or your child. Because not every tutor, no matter how qualified he or she may seem, is suitable for every tutoring student. You will have to test it out to find the person who can offer the right support.
