Hello everyone,
Hope you are doing great!
My name is Thomas and I am from Germany.
What 3 words describe me the best?
Optimistic, Peaceful and Passionate
In my free time I enjoy doing several things. Learning languages is one of my favourite activities. I was raised bilingual with Russian and German and since then my interest in languages has grown steadily. My current challange is learning Japanese.
Besides that, I love to train Aikido. It is a peaceful Japanese martial arts that really helps shaping my personality.
I love to hold speeches and organise workshops. It is one of my goals to become a trainer :)
But there is much more ... Let's meet up personally!Me as a Teacher
Are you bored of monotone textbooks? Are you tired of difficult grammar without conversation practice and fun? Look no further :) In my lessons, you will learn everything necessary to speak German fluently asap and reach your goals with fun!
My teaching journey started right after finishing school. I immediately flew to Russia and began working as a German teacher in a language camp. It was a really fulfilling experience to work with children and help them out with German. I vividly remember the sweet letters I received from my satisfied students :)
In 2020 I started to teach online due to the pandemic.
All in all I gathered around 3 years of experience with more than 50 happy students.My lessons & teaching style
What makes a great lesson?

+Fun, Musical breaks

What can you expect from my lessons?
My lessons focus on your speaking ability ... with occasional writing and reading
I am using various materials like texts, novels, poems, music, videos, film scenes etc.
I can suit my lessons to different needs: Traveling to Germany? Working or Studying in Germany?
No problem for me :)

I’ve learned with Thomas for ten classes, so far I’ve been enjoying our ride ! Thomas is very patient and humorous, I could speak comfortably with him :)
I really like the combination of covering the basics during the class while using a little advanced materials such as book reading or video analysis to enhance my German knowledge quickly.
I felt making a lot of progress especially on knowing how this language works and now being able to understand a lot more than before makes me really happy :)
I look forward to our next adventure! Dankesehr, Thomas!

I absolutely love working with Thomas. He is very encouraging and patient. He has provided me with excellent learning materials that challenge me just enough that it is still fun and not frustrating. I am really excited to continue working with him.
