About Me
italki teacher since Sep 24, 2015
InterestsTravelReadingHistoryTechBusiness & Finance
I’m 33, half French and half German, and a native speaker of both languages with dual citizenship. I developed a strong interest in American culture as a teenager, which led me to teach myself English to a native level, including accent, through constant exposure and conversation. This success inspired me to pursue other languages. I reached an intermediate level in Mandarin and an advanced level in Japanese and Korean after living in both countries for several years. Students value my ability to create engaging and natural conversations, my strong focus on active listening, my broad knowledge in a wide range of fields, and my very international background, especially for English-speaking and Asian learners. I’m fluent in five languages and bring extensive experience as both a learner and teacher, helping students feel confident at any level. I have completed two teaching certifications, CELTA and DAEFLE, which equipped me with effective teaching methods and practical classroom skills. My teaching approach emphasizes meaningful interaction and immersion. That means listening, reading, and speaking as much as possible, similar to how children learn their native language. I'm convinced that this is the most effective path to fluency. As your teacher, I will guide, motivate, and support you while making lessons enjoyable and engaging. My goal is to help you see language learning as a fun, rewarding, and enriching experience, not a chore. Note: I don’t teach students under 16

I’ve taken about 70 lessons with Lucas in both French (intermediate) and German (advanced). He’s always very professional, on-time, and attentive in our lessons. He customizes our sessions based on my interest and is always open to feedback. For example, he prepared a German vocabulary list of technical cameral gear and photography terms. This was so lovely of him to do in his free time prior to our session. Lucas is an excellent teacher with a fun and well-informed, providing interesting reading material and homework. Another time when Lucas really went above and beyond was when I started studying for the TEF IRN, which is a French language exam to apply for naturalization. Lucas had never taught this particular format of the exam before, and so kindly agreed to help me prepare for this new format. We went through countless exercises together and I was soooo happy when I aced my exam. 
 In summary, Lucas is an amazing teacher and I can genuinely recommend his classes.

Très bonne séance, comme toujours. On a discuté des langues, iTalki, et les différences entre les états des États-Unis. C'était une conversation formidable et très intéressant. Lucas connaît beaucoup à propos de n'importe quel sujet et, donc, c'est facile de discuter ce que ses étudiants aiment. À la prochaine!

Lucas is really enjoyable to work with! He has a real knack of understanding your level and then pushing you beyond it to learn!

Lucas is a great teacher. He has a wealth of knowledge he can share, is helpful and polite. He adapts his way of speaking and pronunciation to my current oral comprehension level. In my opinion his accent is worth acquiring, that is why I chose him in the first place. I am very content to have him as my teacher, because my active vocabulary increases with every session and my German accent atrophies steadily. Furthermore he keeps the conversation flowing and it is fun talking to him. I can recommend Lucas as a teacher to everyone who wants to improve, enhance and refine their French skills.

Lucas was very well prepared for the lesson. We discussed my learning goals and a possible study plan, which I found very helpful. He was polite, professional, and created a comfortable atmosphere during the lesson. I’m looking forward to continuing our classes

I'm learning both French and German with Lukas to help fill gaps in both languages and I am thriving with his style of encouragement and practical explanation through simple but effective exercises.
