Hello! I’m Nicola, a certified German teacher (Goethe DLL) with over 2,700 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 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 four 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.

Sie ist eine sehr freundliche Lehrerin. Sie achtet genau auf meine Fehler und notiert sie, damit ich später daraus lernen kann. Sie unterstützt mich sehr dabei, mein Deutsch zu verbessern.
