Interest topicReadingHistoryScience
During our lessons we will focus on how YOU want to learn, and what YOU need to improve your German. I know exactly how to help you gain confidence when speaking German, and no matter if you are a beginner, an advanced learner or want to prepare for a language exam - together we will make sure that you make the progress you want to and reach your goals.
All of my students that invested the necessary time passed their language exams with excellent results.
We will be speaking German right from the start, and our lessons will revolve around you discovering and exploring the German language. My task is to encourage, guide and enable you to say, what you want to say!
Me as a Teacher
Overcoming difficulties and actually improving your German by actively using it will make you feel more comfortable and confident after a short while and will keep you going in the long run.
For all topics I have easy-to-remember explanations (e.g. for the adjective endings), which you will get used to quickly.
We will always come back to new subjects and words until you understand them and we will only proceed at your pace.
Everything we discuss will be put down in different google docs (chat - contextualization - writing). We will be working on them together.
My lessons & teaching style
These documents will help you get a better understanding of new words, expressions and grammar topics, and you will be able to revise what we covered earlier.
Additionally we will use my own grammar docs, countless exercises, test preparation books, and lesser-known, but useful/powerful dictionaries.
Topics will be something that fits your level, that you are interested in, and that you worked on before the lesson, a conversation about your life or everyday situations, TV shows (for learners of German e.g.), easy texts for beginners, podcasts, documentaries, newspaper articles etc.
Ich freue mich schon sehr darauf, von Ihnen/Dir zu hören!

I've learned german with Christian for over a year and a half now. During this time he helped me quickly improve my language skills from about a A2 level to being able to pass the Goethe Zertifikat C1 examination with a great score, which I did last february. This, considering that I started my german-learning journey ar age 26, that I've been working as a full time doctor ever since and that I've never been or lived in Germany, are exceptional results, which I could have never achieved without Christian's lessons.
I would recommend Christian as a German tutor to anyone. You can expect interactive lessons, during which you can talk a lot both about everyday and Fach- test oriented topics. He will also give you great materials to study with, can help you correct your CV- application letters, and is above all a great person.
Vielen Dank Christian!

Up to now I had 12 lessons with Christian. Thanks to him, I improved my overall knowledge of German and learnt a lot of new vocabulary. In particular, Christian made me talk a lot and that was really important to improve my self confidence with this difficult and rich language that German is. He was very patient with me, repeating the same thing 1000 times to let me understand completely the meaning of a word or a sentence. In particular, in order to help me more, he used many time Italian, my native language. That was really kind of him. Finally, Christian has a remarkable knowledge of history and culture in general, so that we had always a lot to talk about. In conclusion, thank you for everything Christian. These five stars are fully deserved.

Christian will reinforce the areas you need to focus on the most until he is confident you know them.
Not a typical "follow the text book" type of package, much more organic and fluid, changing and moving the way he assesses your needs are headed.

After living in Switzerland for some years, and never really being able to pick up German very well, I started classes with Christian.
In under a year, I was able to greatly improve my German and become a more confident speaker. Speaking German in public was always a bit daunting for me, but Christian helped me overcome this and now I'm much more confident with it.
Learning German in Switzerland was definitely a challenge, I've done a few different courses in the past but they never worked very well for me. The classes are always very focused on me, and help me improve quickly.
As a side note also, the internet connection and call quality is always great.
Thanks Christian!

Hallo! Ich würde gerne Christian weiterempfehlen, weil Sie sehr professionell und verantwortungsvoll sind! Ich musste mich für den B2 Goethe Test vorbereiten und Christian haben mir super geholfen. Es ist wichtig für mich, dass ich beim Lernen motiviert bin und nach dem Unterricht weiter mit Deutsch verbessern kann. Mit Christian kann es gelingen! Ich habe von meinem Ehemann Christian kennengelernt, weil mein Mann auch bei Ihnen Deutsch gelernt hat und sehr zufrieden ist. Ich bin sehr dankbar dafür!
Всем привет! Я могу много раз рекомендовать Кристиана, так как он профессиональный и ответственный в работе! Он замечательно помог мне подготовиться к языковому тесту В2. Для меня очень важно быть мотивированной во время учебы и хотеть после урока дальше совершенствовать свой язык. С Кристианом это возможно! Мой муж также обучался немецкому языку у Кристиана и он очень доволен его работой. Я очень благодарная Кристиану за все!

Christian has been my German mentor and coach now for almost six years. He was my first iTalki instructor and I was so lucky to have found him. He provides me with a wide variety of German language materials, both written and spoken, as well as a variety of tools to facilitate my learning. One of my favorite tools is
Redensarten-Index, which is a great resource for learning German fixed expressions. Another is a Firefox dictionary
plug-in, that I use when reading German text. During our iTalki sessions, we discuss the materials I've studied since our last session, with Christian gently correcting my vocabulary, grammar and useage errors.
Christian is a great German tutor. He loves the language and is a natural teacher.
