I am Frau Templeton. I am a native German speaker and was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany. I received my Bachelor's Degree and teaching credential from California State University Sacramento and have been teaching German for 20 years.
I love teaching about my culture and language and believe that everybody can learn another language as long as they have an open mind and willing to try. “Any time you think some other language is strange, remember that yours is just as strange, you’re just used to it.” (Anonymous)
I understand that every student learns German at a different pace and will have different challenges along the way. That's why my teaching style is proficiency based, and allows for individualized feedback.
I am looking forward to teaching you German this year at C.K. McClatchy High School.
