Varsity Tutors can help students of all levels enroll in a Memphis German course, whether you're a freshman at Whitehaven High School, an undergraduate at the University of Memphis, or seeking language skills for personal or professional reasons. Foreign language classes are an increasingly common requirement in many high school and college degree programs. Learning a new language presents students with a plethora of complex challenges. It is easy to forget the years of coursework that went into mastering your native language. While a traditional classroom can be a great starting point for learning vocabulary and grammatical skills, many students choose to supplement their studies with German lessons.
Learning a new language on your own or with limited help can seem like a daunting task. A basic internet search will overwhelm you with advice articles, op-ed pieces, and unqualified information. Varsity Tutors utilizes only top-notch language learning materials that cover all elements of the German language in an approachable manner. Also, all instructors are thoroughly vetted to ensure they can meet the diverse needs of students. Whether you're just beginning your language learning or are feeling study fatigue, our online courses can help invigorate and give direction to your review.
What are some skills an instructor might review in a Memphis German class?
When learning a new language, it's common to lack the confidence needed to engage casually with others. Each language has a variety of nuances that may contradict the rules and grammar of your native language. Enrolling in an online course allows you to exercise your verbal skills with other learners, helping you to practice pronunciation and identifying words from context. Depending on your level of proficiency, your instructor might only speak German during your classes.
During your sessions, you can expect to study gendered nouns, verb conjugation, and sentence structure, among other things. Your instructor might take a variety of approaches to cover these elements of language, such as group discussions, interactive lessons, or mixed-media approaches. When learning a new skill, repetition is often a key component to successful mastery. Enrolling in a Memphis German class can provide you with the immersive experience needed to grasp all elements of the language fully.
How does a Memphis German class work?
One of the most common barriers to language learning is the lack of opportunity to practice. A Memphis German course gives you the opportunity to practice your German speaking, writing, and reading in a collaborative group setting. You will attend live sessions in our easy to use, user-friendly online platform. All courses are led by a qualified, fluent instructor who can accommodate all levels of proficiency. Studying with other students has been shown to increase retention rates and help deepen individual understanding of the subject being taught.
During your classes, you will have ample opportunity to workshop with peers. You can take this time to share ideas, practice speaking, or to troubleshoot particularly tricky subjects. Having a built-in network of German language learners to practice speaking with can help accelerate your verbal skills. Speaking the language can also help you grasp linguistic elements of speech, such as rhythm, cadence, and syntax. The ability to collaborate with other students provides you with a unique opportunity to diversify your study approach by learning other student's perspectives and learning styles.
German classes also allow you to schedule one-on-one time with your instructor to focus more directly on your areas of opportunity. If you feel that you are falling behind in a particular area, such as pronunciation, you can work with your instructor to develop your verbal skills. Your instructor might ask you to respond to their questions only in German, allowing them to provide immediate insight and feedback to help improve your fluency.
How can I enroll in a Memphis German course?
Whether you're seeking to supplement your current German studies at White Station High School or dream of hiking the mountains of Bavaria, chatting with locals along the way, Varsity Tutors can enroll you in a Memphis German course to help accelerate your fluency. New class sections start monthly, and classes are available at multiple times of the day in order to accommodate your schedule. We know that juggling school, work, and your family life can be a difficult task. Our online courses allow you to study when you have the time, whether you're in between classes or on your lunch break at work. Our educational consultants are standing by, ready to answer your questions and get you started in a German course today.

...and quizzes that the tutor won't be present for. For this to happen, sometimes explicit instruction is necessary, but more often than not, the best thing for the tutor to do is to allow the student to work as they would normally, and then address mistakes or other problems as they occur. I feel that my education and past experience as a teacher have equipped me with the tools necessary to be a fantastic tutor...

Hi! I'm Rachel. I have a pretty relaxed teaching style and adapt well to all kinds of students. I really aim for students to understand concepts rather than make great test scores. However, great test scores are a good side effect of understanding concepts better.
