Warum-Check

Your child speaks German fluently. So why are the grades still poor?

The Warum-Check helps you see where your child gets stuck with school instructions, texts and answers — and what to work on first. A 60-minute online session with Maria, your child and you, followed by a written report. €99.

  • School activities with your child
  • A conversation with you
  • A written report

What happens in the 60 minutes

All three parts happen inside one 60-minute online session. Nothing is charged separately.

01

School activities with your child

Maria uses tasks suited to your child's school stage to explore how your child understands instructions, reads a short text and explains an answer.

02

A conversation with you

Discuss what you notice at home, the teacher's feedback and your main concerns. No previous knowledge of German schools needed.

03

A written report afterwards

See your child's strengths, the areas to focus on and practical next steps.

What you receive

One written report, sent after the session. It is not a test result sheet and not a diagnosis — it is an outside, teacher's view of your child's school German.

Strengths

What your child already does well in school German, so you know what to build on.

What to work on first

Which one or two areas to focus on first — named clearly, instead of a long list.

Practical next steps

Concrete suggestions for what to practise, observe or discuss with the school next.

Does this sound like your family?

Your child chats easily in German, but freezes when a task says beschreiben, begründen or vergleichen.

The answer is often right, yet points go missing — zu kurz, zu ungenau, mehr begründen.

Homework needs constant prompting, and you cannot tell whether the problem is language, confidence or the task itself.

You are deciding between tutoring, a programme or waiting another term — and want to know what to address first.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything parents ask about the Warum-Check — including how booking works.

How do I book and pay?

Choose a slot in the booking form and pay €99 securely online. You then receive a confirmation email with the meeting details and a short questionnaire.

What exactly is included for €99?

One 60-minute online session with Maria — school activities with your child and the conversation with you — plus a written report afterwards. €99 is the full price, paid once.

Is this a German test or a diagnosis?

No. The Warum-Check is an educational consultation, not a language exam and not a medical or psychological assessment. It does not diagnose dyslexia, ADHD or any other condition.

Does my child take part?

Yes. Maria works with your child on school-relevant German during the session, and then speaks with you about what you see at home.

Do we need to prepare anything?

Recent schoolwork, teacher feedback or a school report can help, but nothing is required. You receive a short questionnaire after booking.

Can you guarantee better grades?

No. The Warum-Check gives you clarity, priorities and practical next steps. It does not guarantee grades or a Gymnasium recommendation.

Do I have to book the €49 School Clarity Call first?

No. The Warum-Check is booked directly. The Clarity Call is a separate, shorter option if you only have one question.
