Hello! I’m Nicola, a native German speaker with over 3 years of teaching experience and a Goethe Institut certification. As a lifelong language learner (I started to learn 8 languages), I deeply understand the challenges students face—whether you’re a beginner, a busy professional, or a parent with young kids (I teach fun, interactive lessons for preschoolers too!). My background in international sales and multicultural living (Spain, Cáceres, Barcelona) helps me tailor lessons to real-world needs. Let’s make German enjoyable together—book a trial and let’s chat! P.S. Can’t find a suitable slot? Message me—I’m flexible!

Me as a Teacher

I studied German and English for a few semesters to become a primary and secondary school teacher. During my studies I tutored English, French and Spanish. I helped an 11 year old pupil to pass an exam in English and French after the summer holidays. We had regular lessons during the holidays. I spent one Ersamus semester in Spain (Cáceres) during my studies. And later I did a traineeship in Barcelona with Eurodissey. I have now been teaching German as a foreign language for over 3 years and also have the DLL certification from Goethe Institut.

My lessons & teaching style

In my conversation lessons I will respond to your wishes. We can just talk, practice grammar, or other topics that are important to you. In my lessons for beginners we will work with textbooks and sometimes on the platform "blink learning". Homeworks are possible but not obligatory. In my lessons for preschool children we will work with children books, children songs and a lot of picture material. I think that it is easiest to learn a language with fun. So my primary goal is to make you enjoy your language lessons. I am looking forward to meeting you in one of my classes! If you don't find a suitable time for your class, please contact me. I can usually offer additional times.

Nicola is a fantastic teacher! She’s very warm and friendly, and time always flies when I’m speaking with her. She takes the time to write down the sentences as we go, so I can review them after each class. I highly recommend her!
