Hi! I’m a certified IELTS, Business English, and German teacher who *lives* for real-world language skills. My corporate years in banking and medical fields mean I teach *exactly* what you’ll use—whether acing IELTS emails, negotiating in German, or nailing business small talk. I turbocharge progress with TPR (think gestures, laughs!) and lively convos, so lessons stick. Based in the Bahamas but teaching worldwide, I specialize in turning textbook theory into *your* confidence. Let’s get you fluent—fast!
I have a TEFL-certificate of 168 hours & a 40-hours exam preparation certificate. My teaching experience is based on many years of sports coaching in canoeing as well as 5 years of online teaching. I am open, friendly, patient and well-organized. I take my profession seriously and love seeing my students develop and improve!
I believe the most effective way to feel comfortable and confident with learning English or German as a second language, is to enjoy having conversations with a teacher who guides students in lessons that are fun and interesting. Therefore when teaching, I use a lot of TPR to spice things up!My teaching material

I lost connection to my camera and microphone and despite this Gesine adapted to the situation and we continued the lesson in writing.

Very good lessons, I can only recommend them. Since Gesine speaks German and English perfectly, she was able to alleviate much of my fear of speaking. She also places importance on creating educational and varied lessons. Furthermore, she is focused and it is important to her that you actually learn something. Thanks again for everything. :)
