PhD from Germany. Experienced Teaching Assistant and Instructor with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry.
I have a BA with a major in English/American Linguistics and Literature and a minor in German studies. My Master's degree is in Comparative Literature, and my PhD in Cinema and Media studies.
I have a long history of tutoring languages to people of all ages. I instructed German language in both elementary and advanced level at the University of Rochester in NY while studying my Master's at said school. Since 2012, I tutored several classes at German universities and worked as an instructor at a private language school teaching both German and English.
I offer flexible teaching methods tailored to your individual learning style. Whether you thrive in relaxed conversations or prefer a structured textbook approach, we'll find the perfect fit for you. Let's make learning effective and enjoyable!
Most of the time I can adapt to your schedule. For commonly available times, see below.

I teach preferably online via Zoom.
I can offer to tutor at my place (close to Burrard and Davie), or at the student's place. I don't have a car, so it should either be accessible by bus, or walking distance. Preferably around West End. If the travel exceeds 30 min with the Bus, I will have to charge a 25 dollar travel fee for each drive (for example, if you want to meet in Richmond). I can offer to meet on the UBC Campus, or other public spaces such as coffee shops or libraries.
had 3 sessions with Gerrit where I needed help on a German reading course. Gerrit had not tutored for such a course before but adapted very quickly. I found the process of working through tricky grammatical puzzles with Gerrit very useful with Gerrit always generous and quick with sharing alternative resources or explanations of issues at hand when the textbook failed to be illuminating. Would definitely recommend Gerrit to any student seeking help with a German class.
Gerrit is a great tutor & definitely helped me move forward with my German language goals. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to improve their German!
Only had 1 in person session and 1 web session with Gerrit but he was helpful and a nice guy. Definitely helped with my German.
