My focus is on clear, calm conversation practice for learners who understand German but don’t feel confident speaking yet. I don’t use role plays or artificial scenarios. Instead, we work with natural conversation, selective corrections and clear explanations, so speaking German feels more comfortable and more natural over time. Whether you need German for daily life, work or travel, my goal is simple: to help you speak with more clarity and confidence. As a teacher, I draw on my bilingual background in a very practical way. Having grown up with two languages, I know how it feels to understand a language well but still hesitate when speaking. This helps me recognize where learners get stuck and how to explain things clearly and calmly. I focus on real communication, selective corrections and building confidence step by step.

I signed up with Mert primarily in order to be able to practice conversation and to prepare for the B1 test. He has been very helpful and encouraging. I just took the B1 test and passed confidently! Thanks Mert, for all of your help!

I worked with Mert to help me prepare for the speaking part of my B2 Prüfung. Sometimes he gave me sample topics and sometimes I prepared my own. He gave me immediate feedback and I always left knowing what I needed to work on for the next time. In the end I scored a 96 on the speaking part of my exam. The time spent working with Mert was time very well-spent.

Mert is amazing. I love his energy. He brings structure, while remaining flexible. Mert is super student-oriented and focused on their learning goals. On top of that, he is a really fun/interesting person to have a conversation with. Highly recommend!

I would definitely recommend Mert to anyone who wants to strengthen their speaking, especially to anyone who appreciates structure and planned lessons. Thanks to Mert I can see both my weak spots and the concrete steps to work on those.
