Betsy is passionate about helping you learn and practice the German language, whether that be a beginner's introduction or help or supplements to classwork or conversation practice.
She is a native speaker of German and English who has taught German to high schoolers in Virginia, plus she has several years of experience teaching elementary kids in a homeschool setting.
Her B.A. degree in International Relations was sparked by an interest in various Indo-European languages; Betsy still has a working knowledge of French and (to a lesser degree) Spanish.
Online teaching during Covid set the precedent for continued online German language instruction to pre-teens, teens and (senior) adults.
She continues to work with English Language Learners (ELLs) K-5 students and adults in person, giving mainly speaking instruction to improve their American English.
She has had the pleasure of using and instructing German even in the most unexpected places in the world, which only fuels the passion for German!
