Marcus - Los Feliz, Glendale, West Side and Los Angeles Area
My name is Marcus, For most of my life, I lived in the Rhineland, in the very western part of Germany, where I studied and received an MFA in painting from the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. I am very happy to be back in Los Angeles. As a native speaker who decided on an academic career, I am naturally well-read in German literature, from Goethe to Franz Kafka, and I have an interest in German philosophy, from Thomas von Aquin to Friedrich Nietzsche, as well as an obvious interest in the history of German art. I use the Strommen Approach, developing your ear and creating a tailor-made class that fits your exact needs.

Torsten - German Tutor in Los Feliz, Pasedena, North Los Angeles
My name is Torsten, I am fluent in German and English. I was raised in southern Germany, near the beautiful city of Munich. I went through the entire schooling system there, both middle school and high school in German. The German I grew up speaking is standard German (Hochdeutsch), although I am quite capable of teaching most dialects and helping a student to discern the differences. I visit family in Germany every other year. Teaching experience includes working with Strommen Tutoring in Los Angeles and the German-American School Association of Southern California. I also currently teach art classes on a regular basis in the Los Angeles Area. I enjoy reading newspapers, magazines and works of German literature with my students.
Jayson - German Classes in Santa Monica, Venice, Westwood, Los Angeles Area
Wie geht's? My name is Jayson and I am a German/American native. I was born in the US, however moved to Frankfurt, Germany, at the very young age of 4. I grew up speaking both languages at home with my German mother and my American father and went through the German schooling system, graduating with the “Abitur” in English and Art. I have a B.A. in Psychology and German from the University of Maryland. I really enjoy the 1 on 1 setting and appreciate how much can be accomplished in a short amount of time. I use the Strommen technique of developing the ear so that you can correct yourself, as well as the use of idioms to better connect with actual Germans. I go back to Germany once a year to catch up with friends and family, eat some good food, and of course see what new trends are developing in Europe and return ready to share my insights with my Los Angeles based students.
Nora - Los Feliz, Silverlake, Los Angeles Area
After graduating from a Lingual High-School in Italy, I graduated from the Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome, Italy, and Studied Screen Writing in Vancouver. I speak 4 Languages Fluently, which further increases my understanding of each: German, Italian, English, and Spanish. Both of my parents are native Germans, and I spent my youth between Italy and Germany (Cologne). Having been raised by very German parents in a very Italian town, helped me develop what I like to call " The German work ethic", along with a passion for tea and long philosophical discussions. I have taught both German and Italian all over the world, it is my firm belief that YOU CAN learn the language of your dreams, and embrace a brand new culture that will broaden and enrich you like nothing else can.

Private German Classes in Los Angeles for the Cost of A Group Class
"Ist dein Deutsch gut?" - Is your German good?
If you have tried group classes, bought the books, the software and are feeling a lack of guidance and cohesion - you're right; you need a personal German "trainer." 1 on 1 tutoring is an effective and rewarding way to learn German. With 1 on 1 instruction you will be making a worthwhile lifelong investment! It's time to globalize, to sharpen our skills; Strommen Tutoring wants to help!
"Sprechen, sprechen, sprechen!" - Speak!
The most important thing is speaking and listening. In a group class you do pleanty of listening, and waiting to speak, but not much speaking. With private tutoring you will learn ‘textbook German’ but also the all-important German idioms, slang, and colloquialisms that can only be learned in the intimate 1 on 1 setting. At Strommen we find it amazing, but many these terms are seldom taught even though they can be the most commonly used. When you get off the plane in Berlin, we bet the first thing you hear will be an idiom!
"Lesen, schreiben, sprechen: Die multilaterale Methode"
Let’s read, write, and talk: the ‘multilateral’ approach. At Strommen Tutoring we believe in a ‘multilateral’ approach to learning languages. The most noticeable results come from learning like a native German would. We will use a variety of German texts, from comic books to works of philosophy. We will use reading exercises, unique writing exercises, and oral exercises we have developed through research and application. Therefore we will engage your German ‘right brain’ through conversation and listening but we will also employ your ‘left brain’ advantageously.
"Brauchen Sie hilfe?
Need help? If you are looking for a personalized German class, or are already taking an online course/group class, we can help you with conversational German, accent coaching, oral exam prep, written exam prep, German grammar, German history, German Philosophy, culture, and written assignments.
