Über mich

italki-Lehrkraft seit 28. Nov 2021

Skype only - no Italki Classroom Hi, my name's Al, and I've loved words and language since I was a child. I'm 66, an American native English speaker, and I have a C2 level certification in German, which I acquired primarily through self-study. I was born in New York, but grew up in California, Virginia, the Philippines and Kansas, so I speak a neutral American English with little to no regional accent. I studied journalism, creative writing and German at the University of Kansas, and now I live in Tennessee. I like playing guitar and watching movies and videos in German, but my favorite thing to do is to travel to Germany, which I hope to do again one day.

Ich als Lehrkraft

Although I’m not a professional teacher, I’m a native English speaker, and I can offer you a relaxed setting in which to practice your conversational English. The main thing is that you speak, and I’ll encourage you to not be afraid of making mistakes. I’ll try to make corrections in a way that least interferes with the conversation. If you’re an intermediate self-learner of German, my experience could be uniquely useful to you. I essentially taught myself the language to a high level, so I’m well acquainted with the difficulties self-learners face.

Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil

My English classes are conversational. I’ll want you to relax and speak without fear of making mistakes. We learn from our mistakes, after all, and I’ll try to make corrections in a way that least disturbs the flow of the conversation. I‘ll let you do most of the talking, and we can talk about any subject that interests you. If you're learning German, I'm ready to help with any aspect of the language that’s causing you problems. Or, if you’d rather, we can just talk. I don’t teach beginners or children, and I don‘t offer a structured course in English or German. All lessons are via Skype. Please remember that it‘s not possible to cancel a lesson within 24 hours of the lesson time.

Al Olaf is quite what I expected to find in an English tutor to satisfy my language learning needs. I'd recommend him to anyone looking to be able to converse more confidently.
