Skype and Zoom Lessons

Need inspiration for structuring your day in these days of distress and uncertainty? Apart from video workouts, going for a walk, talking to friends over the media, it is recommended to take an on-line course.

Many of my students have taken up the offer to switch their face-to-face lessons to skype or zoom and it works just the same as before, when we sat around the table. I offer online German lessons via Skype or zoom.

Does it work for brand new students, too? Of course! We have a preliminary chat before we start a lesson in earnest, to sort out the technicalities and materials for the lesson and very importantly get to know each other.

I have been using Skype for some time and am a Goethe Institute certified on-line media tutor, meaning I completed a training course with them.
