I am very patient and friendly. I also would consider myself to be quite funny ;)
我非常有耐心和友好。 我也会认为自己很有趣 ^_^My lessons & teaching style
The main focus of my classes is on speaking. However, as a student of linguistics, I love explaining grammar. German is easy, trust me.
我上课的主要重点是口语。 但是，作为语言学的学生，我喜欢解释语法。德语很简单，相信我。My teaching material

With Thomas, I feel like I have already made a large amount of progress in a short time. I just got back from a trip to Germany and was excited to see how many things I understood and how many people I was able to interact with. The things I learned during lesson really helped me out throughout the trip.

Thomas is an excellent teacher. He is extremely patient and is always willing to focus on areas you are struggling with in German. When I first started, my German was very limited. After twenty lessons with Thomas my German has improved greatly, and I am no longer afraid to converse with others if I know they speak German. I highly recommend this teacher.
