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.

Benjamins Klasse ist für mich, dem es an einer Grundlage mangelt. Du bist eine große Hilfe für mich, der ich etwas Schwieriges und Beängstigendes begonnen habe. Wenn du Probleme hast, achte darauf, die Lehrerklasse zu besuchen!

My biggest challenge in learning German has always been conversation. When I studied German many years ago, my professor focused almost entirely on grammar and reading; speaking was largely avoided, and as a result I never developed real confidence in conversational German.
Benjamin changed that.
He immediately made communication feel easier and more natural. He gave me the time I needed to search for words, never rushed me, and stepped in only when it was helpful. Instead of making me feel self-conscious, he created a space where trying, pausing, and correcting myself felt completely normal.
Benjamin is a very attentive listener. He knows how to guide a conversation without taking it over, which is exactly what someone working on spoken German needs. Thanks to him, I feel like I’m finally beginning to build real conversational ability rather than just knowledge about the language.
I highly recommend Benjamin to anyone who understands German but struggles to speak it.
