Online teaching, meeting in parks during summer/fall (no rain), or at cafés (must be close by Green or Orange Metro stations). German native speaker, experienced in teaching adults and teenagers (15-18 years old), now working as an English/German translator in Montreal. I am also comfortable tutoring English, but I do not speak French.

German teacher for refugees and immigrants from 2014-2017 in Germany

I usually request to know in advance which level the student is at and what they have specific trouble with to work the lesson around that. It would be a mixture of Vocabulary, Grammar, and conversation in general. If there are specific questions the students have, those would also be addressed.
I do online lessons via Zoom/Discord or am willing to meet in person, easily accessible by public transport.
I have taken German lessons from Jelena for the past several months. She is very patient and does a great job explaining complicated grammatical issues while speaking. She often sends me additional links and materials outside our lessons. Plus, she's a very interesting and fun person. Highly recommended!
A nice person, easy to make contact with. She is very good at explaining grammar issues and applying them in a conversation. She let me talk, but was able to correct my mistakes and show me the right way to express what I wanted to say. A very good experience.
