Let's meet for a quick chat about your language learning needs and see if we're a good match! We can talk about your learning style (visual, auditory, etc.), test our communication tools (iTalki Classroom or Google Meet), I will provide you with all the materials you need (grammar books, workbooks, audio, video, lists and apps) and get you ready to reach your goals as fast as possible!

As an alternative: If you already know what you want to do, you know your level and you have your own material, then feel free to skip the trial lesson and go directly to a regular lesson - you can send me a text message on iTalki about everything you have planned instead, and we can start straight away. I don't need any preparation for new students, I'm always ready to go!

Let's use a Google DOC to take notes during our lessons, and I'll send you plenty of PDFs and other files at any time on a Google Drive!

These are casual conversation-based lessons without a set structure: We can talk about everyday situations, practise a few common situations (ordering coffee, reserving a hotel room or some simple small talk) or practise specific skills (making a telephone call, writing basic emails). I'll give you everything you need to get started for these conversation-based lessons: new vocabulary to learn, useful phrases for everyday situations, and expert tips for memorisation. 

We can base our lessons on your current study plan, to include language learning apps like Duolingo, Babbel or Anki, use any course books you are currently using and also include things like podcasts and YouTube videos. No problem if you don't have any study material yet - I can provide this to you for free. Learning a language from a basic level involves having many different options and I will help you find your perfect learning style, and I can also show you all the best methods and tricks to get there quickly - and we'll have a lot fun along the way!

I offer free resources for business students, including reference grammar books, vocabulary lists, business charts, and other essential materials—all at no cost.

German Conversation Practise, All levels

I regularly prepare students to pass specific Goethe and TELC exams, with levels ranging from A1 to C2 for German. These exams could be a requirement for immigration/integration, or entry into higher or tertiary education.

We'll cover all test preparation categories: speaking, listening, reading, and writing, and I will provide training material for all of these sections. Give me a deadline for your exam and I will put together a learning plan for you - We'll work out which grammar sections we'll need to prioritise and get you on a daily routine to learn hundreds of new words you'll need for the test.

I offer free resources for business students, including reference grammar books, vocabulary lists, business charts, and other essential materials—all at no cost. My students regularly score 90% or more on their exams, and I guarantee you'll do the same!
