Whether you're a student at Boston Latin School, Match Charter Public School, Northeastern University, or another school in the Boston area, Varsity Tutors can assist you along your language learning journey with a Boston German class. Learning German can be challenging at times, even if you possess some knowledge of the language. Also, a teacher or professor may be unable to meet your personal needs. Therefore, it's highly recommended that you look for outside assistance, and there's no better way to do that than to enroll yourself in a Boston German class.
German is a native language for over 90 million people on Earth. The German language is one of the official languages in Switzerland, and it's the official language in Germany and Austria. It's part of the Indo-European language family, and it belongs to the West Germanic group. Other languages that are part of the West Germanic group include Frisian, English, and Dutch. The written form of German is overall universal among the three countries with some slight differences. Spoken German, however, comes in many dialects, with the most common one being High German. High German is used in German media and schools. Therefore, most language learners study High German.Learning German can help you in many ways. For one, if you happen to be a high school upperclassman who's considering college, you can mention that you studied German in your application to try to impress prospective schools. In the working world, you could get a promotion or have a leg up in an open position if you speak more than one language. Knowing German or any other language also improves problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
Whether you're attending school, a person in an established profession, or someone wanting to learn something new, we can assist you with signing up for a Boston German class that suits your lifestyle.
What material would a Boston German course cover?
German possesses many key concepts for you to learn about. One of its concepts involves verb conjugation classes, which belong in weak, strong, or mixed categories. Also, nouns inflect by case, gender, and number. In addition, you'll need to be familiar with essential vocabulary, common phrases, grammar and sentence structure, and other concepts your teacher can go over in the course.
How will a Boston German course help me learn?
All lessons in a Boston German course are online, and every lesson is directed by a professional German teacher. You log in and associate with a teacher and other students in a virtual classroom. You can not only learn from an expert instructor, but you can assist others in the class with what you know. This way, your fellow students can understand certain concepts better and you can hone your fluency of German. Your instructor may even teach lessons entirely in German depending on your skill level.
When you study with your peers, you greatly benefit in several ways. Working with others deepens an understanding of a topic and fully prepares students. Because you're studying with other people, you're less likely to procrastinate since you have others with you to keep you on track.
Though there are many great things about working with other students, sometimes it helps to have private assistance from an instructor. Your teacher is more than happy to offer one-on-one help in anything that troubles you. Each teacher has gone through a thorough vetting process to make sure they possess knowledge in their field as well as communicate well with students of all skill levels.
Because all courses are online, you can access lessons from anywhere that offers a stable internet connection. Are you busy with other obligations like work or school, and you're worried about making time for them? What's great about these courses is that they provide flexible schedules, so you don't need to be concerned about balancing your responsibilities. Courses offer new sections every month, and you can choose to enroll in a two-week course or a four-week course.
I think this program would really help me. How do I get started with a German course?

All you need to do is pick up the phone or send a message through our online contact form, and someone will get back to you to guide you through the signup process.

My philosophy of teaching is simple. Students thrive in an environment where they feel respected and valued. As teachers, our words can give students the confidence to try something new and the strength to challenge themselves. It is the responsibility of the teacher to accommodate and to adapt himself to the diversity of personalities and learning styles in his class. In doing so, he can guide everyone entrusted to him to success.
