About the A1 PROGRAM:

What You Will Achieve After Finishing the A1 Level:

1. You'll be able to understand and use familiar, everyday expressions and very simple sentences, which relate to the satisfying of concrete needs.

2. You'll be able to introduce yourself and others, as well as ask others about themselves such as where they live, who they know and what they own - and can respond to questions of this nature.

3. You can communicate in a simple manner if the person you are speaking to speaks slowly and clearly and is willing to help.

Programme Overview:

There are 12 modules that progressively build the student's understanding of the German language and ability to use it in real life situations.

This is achieved using a variety of day-to-day themes and situations (in a cafe or at the doctor's) where German is used to get something done.

Once the student comprehends the theme, it is followed by a grammar concept and its application. In this way, each unit introduces 3-4 grammar concepts, while also enriching the student's vocabulary.

Teaching Methodology:


A) Key Factor: Class Engagement 

German can get overwhelming what with its multitude of grammar rules, seemingly never-ending exceptions, 3 genders, to name a few.

Hence, I use a light-handed approach, and link the lessons around the student's day to day life, so they can relax and participate more.

B) Application of Concepts

'All learning and no application makes Jack a dull boy.'

Said no one, and yet it is so true.

Wherever possible, I break away from the illustrations given in the textbook, and instead use something more local that draws students in and encourages them to apply a concept they just learned. 

For example, if the lesson is on giving directions, I'd ask them to describe the way from their home to their office.

C) Dialogues & role-play

The batch size is optimum (3-5 students) to allow time for each student to participate in speaking role-plays and playing out dialogues, which are must to improve speaking skills.

D) Pronunciation 

Even with the grammar and words perfectly in place, absolute confidence with speaking a foreign language remains a distant dream unless you unlock the key to the pronunciation.

And that's my goal: to make my students independent, to equip them with every single rule of pronunciation, including ALL possible exceptions, so that there will never be a word that would catch them by surprise.

This pronunciation guide has been proofed by native speakers and is perfectly reliable.

E) Short writing tasks

I give students simple writing tasks such as composing/ answering an e-mail, describing one's house or daily schedule.

F) Cultural insight

Learning a foreign language goes beyond mastering vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar.  It's also about experiencing a new culture, one that is alien to us.

To this end, I draw forth from my personal experiences while traveling in German-speaking Europe to make the content relatable.

Learning material:

Going beyond the coursebooks and CD, I provide detailed notes on the learning modules covered that day along with online exercises to apply it.

Wherever possible, this is supplemented with handouts, illustrations, and vocabulary lists.

Location: Gurgaon Sector 56.

Fees: Rs. 15,000.

Sessions: 2 sessions per week, each lasting 2 hours

Batch-size: 6 students

My program for the A1 level lays the foundation for what follows in subsequent levels.

In terms of content, it is quite detailed and goes beyond the coursebook to include handouts, online exercises, pronunciation training, tips and tricks, and further resources.

Once you finish the A1 with me, your foundation will be strong and you'll be able to follow it up with higher levels A2*, B1 and so on.

I cover the A1 course in 40 hours, taking 2 hours classes at a time, twice a week.

Teaching Methodology:
Considering German's inherent difficulty, I use techniques that make the learning fun and personal by relating it to the student.

Wherever possible, I draw forth from my personal experiences while traveling in German-speaking countries to make the content more relate-able to the student.

I keep my content a mix of grammar lessons, little breaks to do speaking role-play, as well as reading & listening comprehension exercises.

"We have taken the services of Shekhar for my son in 3rd quarter of the year for his board exam for German Language. After trying many tutors and plenty of Demo classes we have zeroed in on Shekhar, mainly because of his expertise in German. We were not having a lot of time before board exams and Sekar comes as savior, he took the charge and build brick by brick. My son started performing better and better in pre-boards and in final exam he got more than 90% in German language. Thanks Sekhar for all your support and perseverance. "

"I strongly recommend Mr. Shekhar if one plans to learn German or is already learning. His teaching style, grasp over the language and whats most important is the correct pronunciation are evidence enough that you will be at great hands. I am currently pursuing learning German with him after 2 years (had begun in switzerland) and have had no complaints! "

"As a student of class 10, it is very important for me to score good marks in every subject and in German Shekhar Sir helped me a lot. He taught me tricks to ace grammar and writing which my German teacher in school did not tell me at all. He emphasized on the need for learning rather than memorizing in all but a few topics such as Partizip Perfekt which couldn't be helped. The entire of us students is too vast with big subjects like Social Science and Science requiring a lot of memorizing. Therefore when we learn ways to perform well in our exams in other subjects, It is a huge help not only for that subject but others too. Sir usually gave me some homework to do after every class relating to what he had taught. The classes were not boring as Shekhar Sir managed to make it interesting. However, he usually came at irregular times and was also late here and there for the classes. But other that minor problem, the classes were interesting and knowledgeable. "
