My grammar rules – high school 
These fortnightly grammar sessions (Wednesdays 6-7:30pm, throughout Term 4) will help high school students to understand the most relevant grammatical concepts they need to ace their German exams. In each 90-minute virtual, interactive small group class an experienced teacher will explain one challenging grammatical topic and help to apply it. The course fee is $50.
