Hi! I’m Benjamin, and I’m here to help you learn German with confidence and joy.
I discovered my passion for teaching when I was 18 and helped teaching Math for a year in Botswana.
Later on a ski instructor, I worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, learning to explain things clearly, stay patient, and keep learners motivated – even when it gets tough.
I also spent three years mentoring volunteers and leading seminars, where I learned how to make ideas clear and relevant.
And most recently I am online tutoring students in Germany with their homework.
Let’s build your German skills, improve your confidence, and enjoy the journey together!Me as a Teacher
When I was 15, I spent six months at a high school in Australia. Later, I helped giving math lessons for a whole year in Botswana – teaching it in English.
I’ve worked as a ski instructor, teaching people of all ages, languages and backgrounds and that taught me how to be patient, how to explain things in different ways, and how to keep people motivated, even when it gets tough.
I also worked for three years as a mentor for volunteers. During that time, I planned and led a ton of seminars – and realized that what I really enjoy is making things understandable and relevant.My lessons & teaching style
In our lessons, my goal is to make sure you feel competent, motivated, and actually enjoy the process. We will learn together step by step. Here’s what that means for me:
• We adapt to your skills and to your individual level and needs.
• We keep it interesting by using different materials and by practicing not only speaking but also writing, reading and listening.
• And most importantly: We make it fun and relevant to your experience and life. Because that’s the only way it really sticks.
If you’re into cooking, gardening, or maybe you’re a surfer – perfect! We’ll use those themes to build up your German skills in a way that feels natural and personal.My teaching material

I highly recommend Ben, as an exceptional teacher. He carefully adapts each lesson to meet my needs and ensures that the learning process is both interactive and engaging. One of his greatest strengths is writing clear notes in real time, which makes it easy to follow along and see exactly what is being taught. He also takes the time to show every correction with examples, helping me truly understand and improve.
He is consistently focused, friendly, and supportive, which creates a comfortable learning environment. I feel that I am progressing bit by bit, and he adjusts our lessons as we move forward so that my learning stays on track. His patience, adaptability, and teaching style give me confidence and motivation to continue learning.
I am very grateful for his guidance and would recommend him without hesitation.
