37-year-old native speaker from Berlin; 10 years of italki experience; Goethe-Institut certified; passionate language learner; experience abroad (Canada, Czechia) I've taught more than 9000 lessons on italki, and I also have TEFL and CTEYL certificates for teaching English. I´ve spent a lot of time on reading studies, watching presentatiosn by polyglots and scientists, MOOCs (Computer Enhanced Language Learning, for example). I’ve also found that learning languages and taking lessons as a student on italki myself has helped me tremendously. Every student is different but with most students, I either do: 1) conversation-focused classes, where you learn grammar as it comes up and where we focus on pronunciation, translation, new concepts, and revision for about a third of the lesson. 2) Leveled courses (mostly A1-B2) where we work with a book. We focus on the things where working with a teacher is the most important (pronunciation, speaking, your questions, actually understanding the grammar, concepts, translation practice) and you can do the reading practice and the exercises on your own and at your own pace. I also offer exam preparation (usually Goethe) and pronunciation training

在 Paule 課程中每次都可以學習到不同領域的內容。他擅於鼓勵學生表達內容,並且會讓你知道母語人士是怎樣表達你所說的話。此外,他的多語學習經驗也幫助我很多。 In the last few years, I have learned a lot with Paule. In the lessons, we talked about different kinds of topics like daily life, politics, economy, etc. He encouraged me to share my opinions and assisted me understanding how to say like a mother tongue. In addition, he shared lots of practical language-learning experience during the lessons.

It was a great lesson. Paule helps me with correct pronounciation and has a very efficient teaching system.

It's been a pleasure taking German lessons from Paule. After a lengthy period of being away from the language, my oral skills were pretty rusty. But Paule got me speaking again very quickly and making progress on regaining what I've lost. Week by week, I can both hear the improvements and feel my confidence returning.

Another good lesson. Paule is very good at tactfully suggesting improvements to what I say and the hour-long lesson just flew by as usual. I also learned a new trick for remembering adjective endings -- I can't believe I didn't know this before!

I’ve taken lessons with Paul for the last couple of years and he’s been a great help with improving my German and boosting my confidence with the language. There has never been a dull class as Paul is great at invoking discussion due to his many interests and vast experience as a teacher. Throughout my classes Paul has been great a providing a variety of general resources as well as ones that align specifically with my personal interests. Given Paul’s incredible English ability he has been great as a native English speaker myself when trying to convey idioms and the like that may not always translate directly. In the last year I successfully applied to and started a job working in German, which I attribute largely to the confidence boost received in my ability after working with Paul.
