Suenne D.

Private tutor in Seattle, WA

Education

BA International Relations and International Organization at University of Groningen, the Netherlands

Experience

My name is Suenne, I offer private language lessons in German (native) and tutoring for Portuguese and Dutch (up to intermediate level). Knowing 7 Germanic and Romance languages (German, English, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, French, Latin), I have a strong understanding of grammar and the skills required to learn languages. I am very enthusiastic about learning and teaching languages and hope to share my passion for languages with you. I have successful prior tutoring experience and adjust my teaching methods according to the students' needs and strengths (speaking, grammar, writing, listening and reading). I think it is important that we find out how you learn best and how to make learning a language fun for you. I have several approaches to share with you. More about my competences in each language: GERMAN: I am a German native speaker. I was raised and attended German high school in Germany. Having studied Latin for 5 years, I have a strong understanding of the grammar of Germanic and Romance Languages. ENGLISH: I studied English for 9 years in school and recently graduated from a BA in International Relations entirely taught in English. Further I have studied abroad and volunteered for international student organizations. PORTUGUESE: I have had a one-year study abroad experience with the Rotary Youth Exchange Program in 2007/2008. I lived with 3 Brazilian families, went to local high school, made Brazilian friends and integrated successfully into society. I self taught myself Portuguese on a conversational level within 2 months and became fluent within a year. I learned to communicate according to Brazilian language norms and culture. SPANISH: I minored in Spanish as part of my BA in International Relations completing B2 level Spanish courses according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Studying Spanish I could rely on my strong understanding of grammar, that I have acquired studying Latin for 5 years in high school, as well as my knowledge of Portuguese. DUTCH: I learned Dutch living in the Netherlands for 3 years attending the University of Groningen. I completed a B1 level Dutch course according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and have improved to level B2 in the three years of my stay. I speak and write Dutch at upper intermediate level (B2 CEFR). I have tutored Dutch on a beginner level to intermediate level. I am available for lessons via Skype or IN PERSON in Downtown Seattle/Pioneer Square Area/Bell Town/South Lake Union/Fremont/Ballard/Southwest Green Lake/North East Magnolia. There is a 2 hour minimum per session in the evenings. 1 hour minimum per session in the mornings. I charge $40 per hour. I am excited to share my passion for languages with you. See you soon, bis bald, até logo, hasta luego, tot straks. Suenne
