About Me
italki teacher since Nov 28, 2021
Hi, my name's Al, and I've loved words and language since I was a child. I'm 65, an American native English speaker, and I have a C2 level certification in German, which I acquired primarily through self-study. I was born in New York, but grew up in California, Virginia, the Philippines and Kansas, so I speak a neutral American English with little to no regional accent. I studied journalism, creative writing and German at the University of Kansas, and now I live in Tennessee. I like playing guitar and watching movies and videos in German, but my favorite thing to do is to travel to Germany, which I hope to do again one day.

Al Olaf is quite what I expected to find in an English tutor to satisfy my language learning needs. I'd recommend him to anyone looking to be able to converse more confidently.

I had another great discussion with Al. He tries very hard to make me sound like a native speaker. Thank you. Al

Al is very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave me great advice that I could not have gotten from anywhere else.
