Hello! I’m Nicola, a certified German teacher (Goethe DLL) with over 2,500 lessons taught.
I teach children, professionals and exam candidates – each in their own way.
👧 Young learners enjoy playful lessons with songs, stories and movement – learning German feels natural and fun. Parents love watching their child grow in confidence and curiosity.
💼 Professionals appreciate my background in international business and life abroad.
🎓 Exam students benefit from structured, motivating preparation to achieve their goals.
As a lifelong learner of eight languages, I understand how it feels to start from zero – and how to make German both effective and enjoyable for you.Me as a Teacher
I studied German and English to become a school teacher and gained tutoring experience in English, French, and Spanish. During this time, I successfully helped a pupil pass two language exams — and discovered how fulfilling it is to guide others on their learning journey.
My international experience (Erasmus in Cáceres and a traineeship in Barcelona) deepened my love for languages and cultural exchange.
For the past three years, I’ve been teaching German as a foreign language and hold the Goethe-Institut DLL certification.
This blend of academic training, multilingual background, and professional teaching practice allows me to create lessons that are both structured and human — effective My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, your goals and pace always come first — whether you’d like to strengthen your conversation skills, build a solid grammar base, or focus on specific topics that matter to you.
👩🏫 For beginners, I use structured textbooks and interactive tools such as BlinkLearning to make progress visible and motivating.
🎶 For preschool children, I design playful sessions with songs, stories, and colourful picture materials — learning German feels natural and joyful.
📝 Homework is available upon request, but never obligatory.
My mission is simple: to make learning German both effective and enjoyable — with patience, structure, and a touch of creativity.My teaching material

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!

Sie ist immer aufrichtig und freundlich. Während des Unterrichts gibt sie mir sofort Feedback zu jedem Satz, den ich in meinen Nachrichten schreibe.
