Ms. Silke

Guten Tag!

I’m thrilled to help you learn German! Reach out today, and let’s get started right away—students of all ages and levels are welcome!

I am a native German speaker, university professor, and creator of the Bitesize German curriculum. With over 25 years of experience teaching and tutoring, I specialize in working with students of all backgrounds, including those with learning disabilities. I hold a Bachelor of Science (summa cum laude) and a Juris Doctor degree.

I’ve taught German at UCSD Extension, tutored students from institutions like USC, USD, SDSU, and California Western School of Law, and worked with organizations like Global LT, Cactus, and the Albert Einstein Academy.

My interactive teaching style ensures every student starts speaking German in their very first lesson. I simplify German grammar and help you achieve excellent pronunciation. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced learner, I can assist with exams (AP, Goethe Institute, immigration tests) or preparing for your travels.

Let’s begin your German journey today!

Bis gleich dann!

If the trial lesson doesn’t meet your expectations, we’ll gladly help you connect with another top-rated, highly qualified tutor—or issue a FULL refund.

Refund for Lesson Packages

You may cancel a lesson package with at least 24 hours' written notice before the next lesson. Completed lessons will be billed at the standard hourly rate, and the remaining balance will be refunded minus a 5% processing fee.
