About Me

Hello! My name is Runzhi, and I am a certified German teacher for integration classes with over five years of experience. I hold a degree in German and English Philology (FU Berlin) and a teaching certificate from Humboldt University. Speaking five languages fluently, I understand the challenges of language learning from the inside and use that insight to help my students progress quickly and confidently. I’ve taught learners from different countries, combining linguistic precision with real-world communication skills. Outside teaching, I work in linguistic research and translation, and enjoy gardening, cooking, cinema, and the arts.Me as a Teacher
I have taught German as a foreign language in diverse settings, from intensive courses to corporate training, both online and in person, with learners from A1 to C2. I specialise in building speaking confidence, refining grammar, and developing real-world communication skills. Having worked with leading schools and companies, I adapt each lesson to your goals, learning style, and linguistic background — especially if you speak Chinese, English, Swedish or French. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are clear, practical, and goal-oriented. I strike a balance between structure and active practice, tailoring each session to your needs. I focus on real-life topics and communication skills while reinforcing grammar and vocabulary in context. My teaching style can be fast-paced and challenging, especially if you're eager to make quick progress. I aim to create a space where you feel supported, motivated, and engaged every step of the way. I use a focus-on-form approach, where I integrate grammar into meaningful communication so you can apply it naturally.My teaching material

Runzhi erklärt alles sehr ausführlich und geht auch auf sehr kleine Details und Nuancen ein. Außerdem stellt er viele authentische Ausdrücke und Redewendungen vor. Ich habe in dieser Stunde sehr viel gelernt und mitgenommen. Vielen Dank!
