Hallöchen! I’m Polina, a passionate German teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience and German level C2. I help people like you make German a part of their lives — for work, travel, exams, moving to a German-speaking country, or just as a hobby. Our lessons are true teamwork. I share guidance, support, and energy, and your active involvement makes progress possible — the more you commit, the more we achieve together!
Pair classes or small groups are also possible! - write me!
Про время и дни спрашивайте в лсMe as a Teacher
Lessons with me are not just 60 minutes of German.
This is not about “covering the material.” It is about being in dialogue, attention, and real connection.
I hold a Master’s in Pedagogy (Switzerland) and a Bachelor in Pedagogy (Russia),
and I have Goethe Certificate C2 in German (2023) and C1 in English (2021) + Russian and Spanish.
I have over 10 years of experience teaching children and adults in schools and language centers (Moscow, Bern, Malta, Barcelona).
Here, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about being engaged.
You are hearty welcome! My lessons & teaching style
Lessons with me — interactive, engaging, and carefully structured around your goals, interests, and pace.
I focus on real communication, thinking, and imagination, so that language becomes a tool for growth, confidence, and joy.
I work with students who are committed to a consistent learning journey, because real progress comes from practice, guidance, and a clear system — not one-off lessons.My teaching material

I had my first lesson with Polina and absolutely loved it! The balance between challenge and fun was perfect. Polina was very engaged and focused throughout the entire lesson, and I could see how thoughtfully it was planned and tailored to my needs, which I really appreciate. I'm really looking forward to continuing my German learning journey with Polina!

I have been studying with Polina for almost a month now, and I really enjoy her teaching style. She is very patient, explains everything clearly and in a way that is easy to understand. Polina creates a calm and supportive atmosphere during the lessons, so I never feel afraid to make mistakes. I am definitely going to continue our lessons.
