starting german in secondary school

mvl

I am looking for suggestions to enable my daughter learning german from scratch in an easier manner, while us parents - one doesn't know german // the other is not fluent in german.
- currently she speaks other languages; she started using duolingo over the lockdown period for german, and she would be spending part of her summer holiday in germany with family.
But what I don't know is how german is taught in here (perhaps this applies to other languages too) - if in order to become fluent at the end of secondary by default students need tutoring, cause the level thought at class room level demands it ?
Any suggestions of what I can do to support her better ?

Thanks.

if you are in Dublin send here to St. Killians.

Schools in Ireland can't teach foreign languages well.

Other countries learn English as that the median for popular culture

thanks. no, I am not Dublin based.
PS - they're pretty good at Irish as I can see

actually since I posted this, have opted to secure additional support via online classes for now in primary cycle (tutor is not based in Ireland), might need to do more for senior cycle (e.g. F2F with another tutor) ... good thing is that she likes it so far.

To become fluent, send her to Germany every holiday you an can, ideally to an old folks' home where they won't be trying their English out on her.

All modern European languages are supposed to be taught through the target language now.

yeah, that would be the goal - once there would be less travel restrictions // staying with family rather than ppl we don't know + summer camps during day.
