Trained Teacher for German as a Foreign Language Native German speaker & trained linguist. I specialize in helping learners *think* in German—not just memorize. Love exploring languages through travel, history, and quirky idioms. Let’s make mistakes *meaningful*! As a teacher I believe in guiding the learner in an informed, open, and authentic way, with the emphasis on the personal connection and the shared human experience. My experience is made up of several years of language learning, language teaching (university and private lessons) as well as my background of linguistics, foreign language pedagogy, and literary studies. I'm a part-time university instructor who enjoys the one-on-one teaching experience italki is offering. Check out my article to read more about my take on language learning (and with that, also language teaching): https://www.italki.com/article/856/more-than-motivation-how-language-learning-is-like-life

Just finished a trial lesson and plan on taking more full lessons. Angelika was very nice and patient, and I feel like I will benefit from her approach. Looking forward to our upcoming lessons.

Angelika is a very kind, patient and encouraging teacher who makes it comfortable and easy to practice speaking about any topic of interest. She also suggests more natural expressions to help you improve.

Enjoyed another class with Angelika! I really like the exercises she suggests for me to do outside of class, and then we review them during class and have conversations based on those topics. The exercises have a nice balance between listening, reading, writing and speaking, so I appreciate being able to practise all those skills.

As usual, excellent teacher: lets you lead the conversation but also gives examples herself to help you grow your vocabulary and grammar.

Angelika explains concepts extremely clearly and gives easy to understand examples. She provides helpful homework and exercises and makes them fun and interesting. She is very supportive and provides positive feedback as well as very useful suggestions for how to improve my language skills. I really enjoy the time we spend together.

I had a great intro class with Angelika. We chatted about her teaching philosophy and my journey with learning German so far. I feel that she'll be able to help me reach my goals and am looking forward to our next class.
