Introduction
I have lived and worked in Germany so that I emphasize a lot of common-usage expressions and customs that may not be present in solely textbook-based instruction. I also work with many school students who are already enrolled in a German course to improve their performance in that course. Besides straightening out any grammar or vocabulary questions the student is encountering, we do homework and prepare for tests together.

Steve is helping my high school daughter get caught up in her German III class. She had fallen behind due to getting stuck on a few assignments. He’s really getting her back on track. In 3 days they had 4 1-hour appointments and she is finishing assignments between lessons as well as with him. He’s teaching some tricks to help with difficult or tedious concepts. It’s clear he enjoys teaching and is good at motivating without pushing too hard. I am very happy we hired Steve!

Stephen has been very patient with my teen son, and his teaching format keeps my son engaged and learning at a good pace. My son is interested in being an exchange student and perhaps attending university in Germany, and we appreciate how much Stephen teaches about culture and everyday German usage as part of the curriculum.

I have been working with Mr. Griggs for a week, and I already have a better understanding of German grammar! I do a lot of independent study, and he is a great resource to me to answer my questions. The book he teaches out of is very interesting, and I have found myself looking through the vocabulary pages for fun. Very knowledgeable teacher, and I am impressed with our time together so far. I am looking forward to learning more - the quality and affordability is worth it!!
