About Me
italki teacher since Oct 27, 2021
I am a 36 years old journalist and certified German teacher with several years of experience in giving private lessons. I am originally from Dortmund, not too far away from Düsseldorf. I lived in New Zealand for one year and travelled around the globe, but for about 7 years now I have been living and working in Italy. I have a university degree in English and Korean language and in communication science and I am generally passionate about learning foreign languages, about getting to know new cultures and people from all around the world. I am open-minded, communicative and I have a lot of different interests: playing the guitar, acting, baking, dancing salsa (just to name a few).
Me as a Teacher
I have completed training as a German teacher for all levels of learners (A1-C2), teaching grammar, pronunciation, speaking, writing and listening with a tested and tried communication-based approach (more speaking time for students!). Another main focus as a teacher has been on preparing young professionals for job interviews in German or on helping them to write their cv for job applications. I fluently speak English and Italian and have studied several other languages. This is giving me a good understanding of how these languages are structured and I can understand the challenges native speakers are facing when learning German.
My lessons & teaching style
My approach is relaxed but goal-oriented. I want each lesson to be fully tailored to the individual needs of my student. Furthermore, I want my students to have fun learning German without losing sight of their objectives. Therefore, my lessons are well-structured but they always include fun-moments (e.g. communication games, conversation about favourite topics) and inspiring materials (podcasts, job postings, newspaper articles, book extracts). Course materials will be selected based on the individual interests of each student. My goal is to build up my students' confidence by creating a safe and positive environment where it is ok to make mistakes.

Johanna ist wunderbar! Für mich die beste Deutschlehrerin. Sie nimmt Rücksicht auf Themen, die wir besprechen. Wir korrigieren meine Fehler in ganz spannender Form. Das macht wirklich Spaß!
