Hello my name is Olivia Heckel, I´m 25 and an Engineer in Biotecnologie. I love learning and teaching languages. I also like doing sports. Recently I compete in a triatlon.
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching German for the last 4 years in various institutions and also privately. My students reach level B1 in 1.5 years having class 2 times a week. Most of my students are between 18-30 years old.
I like to use official books that include the vocabulary and grammar need it for the official certificate. I also prepare for goethe institute certificate & test Daf
My lessons & teaching style
I like to include the 4 language skills in every class. Listening, Speaking, Writing, and Reading. For me is very important that you develop each skill equally. Also, we will focus on your needs.

I truly appreciated the way Olvia used her German book to teach me as a bigginer. In fact, she can speak slowly and explain every details to make sure I understand. She is easy going and I want to conitnue with her 😊 🏆 🏆

Thank you very much for the very structured lesson. She prepares original material of the grammar for the further practice, which is very helpful.

I booked an hour lesson with teacher Olivia. The teacher arrived late and had connection issues. There were other people in the room whom Olivia spoke to during the lesson. It was all around not the most professional lesson, and I felt like stopping it half way through to save my time.
As for teaching style, Olivia is very serious. Unfortunately, I felt this seriousness lacked a friendly approach. I recommend the teacher work on creating a comfortable environment in her lessons and showing more patience.

We had a trial class. She is good, motivated, try to structure things for the future classes.
However, I am looking for a teacher who is bit more friendly and punctual on time. She was 5 minutes late for the class(she makes up this time after that). I wanted to see how she teaches in the class but we spent our time that she checked my level and how she will teach(which is good). It was little inefficient because we were talking about books a lot. I expected her to correct my sentences by giving me her writing but she gave me a few corrections by speaking. I felt like I was having a job interview being nervous. Since I am not that good in German enough, it was little hard me to understand her accent.
