About Me
italki teacher since Feb 24, 2022Me as a Teacher
I believe I can call myself an experienced teacher, as teaching German as a foreign language has been my full time occupation since 2016, and I have gathered experience in many different areas of the job (offline & online｜all levels A1-C1｜groups & 1:1｜textbook, conversation & test prep Goethe/telc/TestDaF｜language learning content development).
I speak with a clear pronunciation, without accent, and in a way that is appropriate for your level.
My strongest suits as a teacher probably are the fact that I can make you feel relaxed and comfortable in class, and my linguistic interest and ability to explain complex things in a very easy way.My lessons & teaching style
Creating a nice atmosphere in class
This is most important to me because I think it greatly helps the learning process and keeps you motivated.
Finding the right amount of challenge
I don't want you to feel overwhelmed or stressed, because that is just counterproductive. I like to keep things fun while still helping you improve.
Adjusting to you
I believe there isn't one perfect way to teach. Every learner has different needs. And I think I'm quite good at noticing those needs and adjusting to them naturally.
Keeping it real
Language should always be learned within context, and connected to real life, real situations, your experiences, senses and emotions.Work Experience

German tutor privateAfter extensive self study of second language teaching methods, I ventured my first steps into teaching German as a foreign language by giving online lessons.
My approach being that learning should be as intuitive and fun as possible, I created lessons that were very interactive, almost game-like, with a lot of visual aids.

I've been taking Elizabeth's conversation classes, and I am absolutely happy with her classes. Before, I think I often got too frustrated while practicing speaking since I couldn't really express what I want to say, and the conversation didn't feel so natural and fun. But Elizabeth is super patient and encouraging, and she is extremely good at catching what I am trying to say with my limited German. Her corrections and suggestions are always on point, and she indeed makes the class fun and comfortable. Definitely recommend her class to people who have similar experiences to mine :)

So eine nette, rücksichtsvolle und flexible Lehrerin, die gut erklärt und korrigiert! Ich fühle mich wohl mit Elisabeth zu lernen und üben, was sehr wichtig ist. Was man im Vorstellungsvideo von ihr sieht, stimmt es genau. Eine Probestunde würde ich gerne empfehlen!

I think the video expresses very well what Elisabeth offers. Elisabeth has a sharp understanding of the students level, listens carefully and offers useful advice at opportune moments. I was given some excellent feedback and advice on what I need to do to improve my level and will take a lot from this lesson. Today was the first time I met Elisabeth and I'm sure it won't be the last!
