German tutor wanted

[noella]

Hi we are a British family relocating from Switzerland. We shall be returning to Switzerland once our contract is finished in 3 years. Our 5 year old currently attends the Swiss International School and learns German 3 days a week. We have looked at the GSIS but are not sure if that is where we will send her. We would like for her to continue learning German and to also introduce our 22 month old to the language. Does anyone know of a tutor or organisation that could help us? Also if any native German speakers would like to get together so we can all practise that would be great too !!
Thanks

Hi Noella,
I am a native (Northern) German and experienced in tutoring kids of any age in Hochdeutsch, especially German conversation and/or English. By the way, I also know how to speak Swiss-German. Contact me if you like, thanks, Birgit

And I know that you can hire a german tutor from GSIS. I found that in their website.

Ayumi, just for your information, I have inquired too, but usually they are not very flexible in timing, as they teach at the school, and ask for about double my fee. But certainly, they are very qualified. One point to consider with those expat teacher though is that they tend to leave HK after a short time, so one needs to keep on changing teachers. Some kids don't like that.
