      Practice Conversation with me! I'm a native German speaker and fluent in English due to my university studies and work experience in England and Australia. I have travelled quite a few countries and am a good conversation partner.
      I am working as a multiple language teacher for various language institutions and can say that I am a passionate fun teacher.

      Why choose Jennifer L.
      "I'm very satisfied with my lessons with Jenny. She is nice, patient, and she does a really good job at keeping track of my strenghts and weaknesses. One of her stong points is coming up with the style of lesson that suits her students. In my case, I mainly want to get better at conversations. So we usually begin a lesson by talking freely for roughly half an hour (she corrects all my grammar and pronunciation along the way). At this point she will have identified some weakness of mine, so then she comes up with exercises for this weakness (I'm really bad at writing stories in the past tense, for instance, so we've done a lot of that). Lastly she always give me some relevant homework to do. She also makes sure to come back to things that we worked on earlier, to really drill it down until I've mastered it. At this point I took about 20 lessons with her, and I have dozens of pages of notes, corrections, exercises on our shared document. So yeah, easy 5 stars for me."
