AP German Language and Culture Tutoring FAQ
The German language has many idiosyncrasies to master in order to excel in Advanced Placement (AP) German Language and Culture to attain an impressive score on the AP exam. While AP German classes attempt to devote class time to each of the language's aspects, every student approaches the language with a different background and learning style, so classes may leave students confused about certain facets of German. Given that AP German covers a large amount of content in a short amount of time, it is quite possible that it may fly through a concept that bewilders you in order to spend time reviewing material you already understand. Do you ever wish there was a way for you to decide exactly what your AP German class focused on so that it could proceed precisely in sync with your personal learning? Personal AP German tutoring can give you the individualized and focused attention that you need.
Varsity Tutors can connect you with AP German tutors anywhere in the world. Our educational directors take into account your particular concerns, your strengths and weaknesses, your previous experience with the German language, and even the ways in which you learn best when helping you find the instructor perfect for addressing your unique situation. They work with you to fill out a student profile that can allow tutors to view your details to determine if they would make a good match. Your chosen tutor also takes these features into account when designing your AP German tutoring curriculum, so your instruction will be custom-tailored to your situation.
AP German tutors combine masterful German knowledge with superb teaching abilities. They have stood in your shoes before and received excellent scores on their own AP German exams. This means that they also have the test-specific knowledge important not just for learning the material you need to know for your AP exam, but also for learning how best to approach the test's particular structure. In fact, these test-taking suggestions and tips can be implemented on future exams as well.
If you struggle with remembering the gender of various nouns, using prefixes to adjust verb meaning, or figuring out which ways of ordering words in a sentence are grammatically correct, your tutor can spend your sessions helping you make sense of these aspects of the German language rather than reviewing the material you already understand. Your tutor can also help you bolster your speaking skills so that they are on par with the rest of your German language abilities. He or she can provide immediate feedback on this crucial aspect of language-learning tested on the AP exam. When you start to prepare for the AP test, you can rely on the experience and expertise of your tutor.
You can choose for yourself when and where you'd like each session to take place. You may have extracurricular activities, a part-time job, family, or other responsibilities that can form potential roadblocks in your tutoring. Your tutor can arrange sessions around these, meet you at local places nearby, or even hold face-to-face online tutoring sessions with you using our live learning platform. The goal for your tutor is to make each tutoring session as convenient, simple, and balanced as possible.
With the assistance of AP German tutoring, you can get the specific support you need in order to feel completely confident in your abilities. Tutoring is available nationwide, and you can schedule it to take place whenever and wherever it best suits your schedule.

Recent AP German Language and Culture Tutoring Session Notes
The student and I had a productive session today. We completed his assignment that he did not get to finish in class. We also did listening practice where he had to tell me what tone certain characters were. He has a tendency to want to rush through, so he mixes the tones. However, when he takes his time to really listen to the final rather than the initial, he is able to hear the differences and get the right tone. Mostly, we just need to practice his listening. His speaking and understanding has been improving greatly.
I always start the student's lesson with reviews. She is very fluent with the Pinyin alphabets and numbers 1-10 by now. Some of the things from the previous lessons that she should still work on are conversational Chinese like "morning, goodnight...." but overall she is a fast learner. During this lesson, we covered numbers 11-20, self introduction, and things like "water, fire, stars....etc." I also assigned her homework. Her progress is really impressive for a 6 yr. old.
It was a great session. He told me he scored in the 90s on his previous dictation test, which is great. We spent the full tutoring session on his workbook assignment because it was particularly complicated this week. He had to read, understand, and illustrate four, 3-sentence passages written in characters. He did a fantastic job, looking up words he didn't know on his phone app and patiently going word-by-word to understand a sentence. He was able to figure out some words from context, which is a new skill for him.
The first student and I reviewed characters she had learned from her book: Chinese menu items and the words for woman, child, small, and man. She recognized the characters but did not recognize the pronunciation, so we worked on connecting those two areas. The second student and I ran through his action routine and added the words for ball, up, down, left, and right. The third student and I ran through his action routine briefly and then reviewed writing numbers from 1-10 and the words for "woman" and "man."
We focused on action words today. First we did TPR again to review the vocabulary and it was also a demonstration to the student about what we covered last time. We also went over all the animals in the Chinese zodiac and talked about different animals' abilities, that is, what can they do (run, jump, fly, walk, crawl, and swim). Students started to use "can/cannot" in Chinese to answer the questions. The Chinese New Year is coming near so I let them write a "spring" character on the traditional red paper to teach a little culture at the end of the session. Both students learned and memorized how to write the character and they did a good job.
The student showed progress in recognizing linguistic characteristics of Chinese. Today's lesson covered vowels, tones, consonants, and numbers one through ten. Homework will involve practice with all of the aforementioned. Great lesson!
