After completion of my Master's Degree in German, I have worked as a language teacher, translator/interpreter and also in the corporate environment with a German-Indian Mix of Teams for more than 20 years. I conduct online-offline classes from basic to advanced levels of German. I have travelled to Germany several times, and am well-versed with the people, culture and working styles in Germany, that plays an important role in language learning/teaching.
I have taught German at college level and have been associated with the University of Pune as a tutor in their courses for General German and Translations/Translation Training.

1. By using books as a base, I use real-life examples from the German-Life to give my students a better understanding of the usage of language. This involves use of videos, exercises, reading texts and audio exercises from a variety of topics at each level. (A1, A2, B1, B1Plus, B2 - for general German)
2. Business Communication and etiquettes - This involves the importance of distinction between communication at the general and official level, why this distinction is necessary. I also conduct courses in Business German (from level A1 to B1)
3. Translation and Translation training - This is for aspiring translators, who wish to work professionally as translators.
4. Cultural Competency - How to behave when in Germany/in an office where there are German employees!
Learn the language and master the art of interaction with natives. Not only in language but behavior!
Interactive teaching, handle challenging students, creative and cheerful in online lessons too.
Help students clear any level exams of Goethe Institute till level B2, No challenge is left unattended in foreign language learning. Focus on all aspects of Language: Listening skills, reading and most importantly speaking.
Taught 100s of students, even in a corporate environment in big numbers.
Helped students clear board exams, after their previous disappointing experiences. Started tutoring German while was doing graduation.
Many students placed in good corporate companies. Conduct webinars on request on German language learning, and provide guidance to people pursuing a career in German
