Indu Joseph German & Soft Skills Trainer
1 Review

I am a senior teacher with a lot of patience; taking German Online/Offline Classes for Niveous A1, A2, B1 & B2.
I take up personal interest teaching the subject to the students and make sure that students do the cores to reach a certain level of language proficiency as per the requirement.
My classes are (Online or Offline) very lively as I share a lot of practical examples to make the concept clear and conduct online/offline activities which make the study-environment stress-free.
I make sure my training is face to face (live online classroom training) to have direct interaction with the students.
For me, it is important that students learn about the culture of Germany, as learning German Culture is part of the learning German. The course content is designed in such a manner that students learn about culture & diversity without any efforts.
I demand a commitment & dedication from students in terms of practising the language on a daily basis. I share best practices to learn any foreign language comfortably & effectively, to speed up learning.
I am a jolly natured teacher and help students positively but demanding in nature and I don't believe in Spoon-Feeding, but I work along with the students, and they never feel left out even if they don't perform.
