FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My tuition fee is $20 per hour if the lessons are twice per week. I also offer three lessons per week at $17 each and four lessons per week at $15 for each. The cost of the Deutsch Aktuell text for German, used but in good condition from Amazon, is about $10.00 including shipping. The Latin text is about the same.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I engage my German clients in practical conversation by bouncing off of dialogs and stories from materials that I send and from an excellent textbook that is full of other resources as well. My focus in Latin is entirely on reading and translating passages about daily life or familiar folktales and mythology.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BA in German and a Master of Arts degree in Teaching. Besides having lived and worked in Germany, I have taught either German or Latin or both for the last 30 years.
