Nicolas Jacobi
(Location: Las Vegas, NV and Online)
My name is NICOLAS JACOBI and I am the founder of JacobiTeacher. To me, a language is a tool for social interaction, however, German is a very rule-based language that often seems to limit the opportunity for free social interaction.
But don't worry, you can learn how to focus on the social aspects of the language and it will make speaking the language much easier.
There are many different reasons for learning German, and speaking German is one of them. Other people learn German to read it, write it, sing it, or maybe just to pass a test. I can organize your learning process, support you in focusing on your individual goals, and push you forward.
We can create an individual and personal approach that includes your favorite topics and, especially fits into your schedule. I have studied at the University of Cologne under Professor Kersten Reich and he has shaped my teacher personality with the philosophies of John Dewey and constructivist teaching methods. Other influencers were Vera Birkenbihl, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Ayn Rand, Bernd Feuerherm, and Dr. Jürgen Zepp.
During class I often switch between different teaching styles, mostly coach style, activity style, and blended style. I personally enjoy Hybrid teaching the most, but will adapt my methods to the individual needs and interests of each student.
I teach children aged 7+, teenagers, and adults of all ages.

William Slattery is a certified New York State teacher and Fulbright Scholar who has several years of teaching experience. As a former business student, William has an interest in both current events and business strategy that has allowed him to gain a critical understanding of the world around us. After studying at Fordham University in the Bronx, William fulfilled a life-long goal of moving to Austria on a Fulbright Scholarship. During his time in the Alps of Salzburg, William achieved both fluency in the German language, as well as a deep understanding of Austrian and Germanic culture. In conjunction with teaching Business English and German at the high school level, William has decided to help others study the German language either by Zoom or in-person to help others share in the joys of becoming bilingual.
During his time studying English as a New Language at the graduate level at Hunter College in Manhattan, William gained a thorough knowledge of the most effective skills needed to help others learn a language and looks forward to working with you.
I teach teenagers and adults of all ages.
