Whether you are a student at Armstrong High School who is fulfilling language requirements, an experienced German speaker who needs a refresher, or a college student at the University of Richmond, Varsity Tutors offers a Richmond German course that can positively impact your learning process. German is the official language of Germany, Austria, and is one of three official languages of Switzerland. It is a challenging but beneficial language to learn. Written German is quite uniform with only slight variances. Most of the time, people learn High German when they are learning spoken German as it is the dominant dialect in German media and schools. Whatever reason you have for learning the language, one of our educational consultants can answer your questions and help you get started with a German course today.
What are some perks of taking a Richmond German course?
Learning any language presents challenges. Varsity Tutors can help you enroll in a Richmond German class that can provide you with help from your peers and an experienced instructor. You will join other students in a collaborative online environment where you can learn from conversation and group work. Your instructor may pair you up with a classmate or group of classmates to practice essential German vocabulary words.
One of the biggest problems that students encounter while learning a new language is a lack of practice. Hearing and speaking the German language regularly is necessary to increase your vocabulary, memorize the different rules of the German language, and hone your pronunciation skills. German classes can help you with all of these and more by allowing you to hear your peers and instructor speak the language. Also, depending on how proficient you are in German, your instructor might teach the class in German to provide you and your peers with an immersive experience.
There are multiple course sections offered, and new classes start monthly. When you sign up for a German course, you can choose to take a 2-week or 4-week session. If at any time during your course you need some extra help grasping a topic, you can always request one-on-one time with your instructor outside of regular class hours. For instance, if the class is moving rather quickly in verb conjugation and you just do not understand it yet, you can ask your instructor for additional assistance.
Studying with groups of peers has been proven to deepen students' understanding of language concepts and more fully prepare them for future lessons. While you are learning the information, you can also see it through the eyes of other people, which may help you pick up on things that otherwise would have been missed. Also, the interviewing and vetting process that German language instructors go through ensures that you will be working with a highly qualified individual who is excellent at communicating. You can be sure you are learning from someone who will be teaching you accurate and valuable information.
I am ready to enroll in a German course. How do I get started?
Whether you are taking a 2-week or 4-week course, it is easy to fit a course into your schedule. Once you get enrolled, you can start rather quickly. Courses are offered at multiple times of the day in order to accommodate any busy schedule. You can even take an evening course if you have a packed daytime schedule. The digital nature of these courses gives you even more convenience. Since you don't have to attend a physical course, you do not have to add in drive time to and from the school or another location. When you enroll in German courses, you get access to the Live Learning Platform, through which you will attend your course. Through the platform, you can also use the video chat to communicate with your instructor and your fellow students. There is also a digital whiteboard that you can use. You can log into the platform from any device that has internet access, including your laptop, smartphone, or tablet.
Contact Varsity Tutors today. We can provide you with more information about how a Richmond German class can help you. Reach out now, and you can find yourself making great strides in your understanding of the German language. We are looking forward to getting to know you and helping you reach for your German language goals, so don't hesitate to reach out to one of our skilled educational consultants today to learn more about our German language courses.

Camila: Richmond German course instructor
I do everything that I can to make sure my students succeed. I was inspired to get into teaching because I had professors who made me feel motivated to learn and continue educating myself. I hope to inspire and support my students in continuing their pursuits of individual learning.... My teaching philosophy is to practice, practice, and practice.... In a typical first session, I would listen more than talk. I would use the time to let my student tell me their strengths and the areas that they need a little extra support in.

...normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have been through exactly what they're going through and I believe the number one trait is patience. I never rush a student and treat them with the utmost respect.... I like to teach with patience above all else, because I think there is nothing more troublesome to a student than frustration. Taking a problem slowly is sometimes the best option to fully developing their understanding of the issue.
