High school and college-level students can reach out to Varsity Tutors to sign up for St. Louis German lessons anytime. There are classroom-style lessons that bring you and other students together with an instructor for a collaborative learning experience, and there's also an option that lets you work privately with a St. Louis German tutor. Students at Gateway High School and other area institutions may have a foreign language requirement in order to earn their diplomas. The same can be true for undergraduate degree programs at colleges such as Washington University in St. Louis.
There are more than 90 million individuals who are native speakers of the language, and German is the official language in both Germany and Austria. Individuals in Switzerland speak one of three official languages, and German is an option there as well. Whether you're interested in getting extra support because your school says you have to take language credits or you're studying German for personal or professional reasons, taking part in St. Louis German lessons is a great way to strengthen your knowledge of the language and to gain experience in using it.
What concepts do St. Louis German lessons cover?
Varsity Tutors can get you started with two types of lessons. One of these is an online class where you'll interact with other students and your academic coach in a virtual classroom. Alternatively, you can work with a St. Louis German tutor privately for direct support from an expert. There are benefits to both study methods, but no matter which you choose, you'll have access to an experienced German speaker who can help you to dive into the language and reach for your language learning goals.
When you decide to invest in St. Louis German lessons by way of our classes, you'll meet in a virtual classroom via the Live Learning Platform. This tool allows you to work with others in real time, getting experience in translating the language, in conversing, and in working through German syntax and grammar. Your instructor may, depending on how much everyone in your class knows and understands, choose to conduct classes entirely in German for a more immersive experience. You'll also have the opportunity to communicate with your instructor privately if you need. Courses begin every month and last for two or four weeks.
If you prefer one-on-one attention, then perhaps studying with a St. Louis German tutor is the best option for you. This service allows you to meet virtually through the Live Learning Platform or to meet in-person at your home, your favorite coffee shop, or at a local library. Your instructor will get to know you and use what they learn about your personality, academic strengths and areas of opportunity, and your learning style to create a program that is truly customized to help you reach for your goals.
No matter which method of study you choose, you'll learn about how case, gender, and number affect nouns and their usage in the German language. You'll learn about the three verb conjugation classes and how those affect sentence construction and syntax. You'll learn about multiple dialects in the German language, but you are likely to concentrate on High German.
How do I sign up for St. Louis German lessons?
No matter your reason for reaching out for academic support, whether you're a student at Affton High School or you're studying German in a college setting, it's easy to fit extra German instruction into your schedule. That's because these services are flexible. Multiple class sections are offered at various times, and we can set you up with a tutor who has similar availability to yours. You don't have to worry about getting to a classroom on time for St. Louis German lessons.
Learning a new language is challenging, but when students have repeated exposure to the new rules and words of the language, it can be easier to retain and use that information. Working with an experienced speaker help you, especially when you find that you're struggling with a specific aspect of the language. When you reach out to Varsity Tutors, we can help you to weigh the benefits of both of these instructional services to choose the option that meets your needs the best. With a tutor, we can even help you get started in as little as 24 hours. Our educational consultants are ready and eager to help you get started getting the extra guidance and support that you need for your German language studies. Contact us today!

Michael: St. Louis German lesson instructor
I graduated from UMSL with a BA in history and a minor in German. I'm strongly interested in most kinds of history and language, and am always ready to help students in subjects from European history to German to going over essays. I believe that language and history are topics that anyone can understand if they are just taught in the right way.... I believe in helping students help themselves. I assist them enough that they do not get lost, but encourage them to come up with answers themselves. If possible, I try to relate the subject to something the student already understands. I also believe that if students struggle with history or language, it just means they need to be taught in a different way.

I want to help you learn the subjects I love most (and soon, so will you!) in the best way for you. There's nothing quite as exciting in learning or life than when two or more people come together to solve a problem.... In short (literally): Practice makes perfect. Use it or lose it. Choose to be your best.

My goal is to provide the best possible instruction to students in need of extra assistance through a variety of teaching methods that are appropriate to the student's learning style.... Usually, it is a lot of translating from one language to the other and systematically going through each sentence so that the student understands the relationship between all the words within the sentence. This is usually done with written sentences I come up with using the specific vocabulary he or she is working with at the time.
