About Me

Born and raised in Berlin, with a background in German Studies and History, I bring language to life by connecting it with culture, politics and history. My goal is to give you more than just grammar. I want to offer real insights into German everyday life, whether through music, discussions or stories from my hometown.
I enjoy learning with people from all over the world and creating a motivating, pressure-free atmosphere. Whether you prefer relaxed conversation or structured lessons, you set the pace. Let’s work together to reach your goals and even have fun along the way! :)Me as a Teacher
I teach German in a flexible, structured, and empathetic way. Your personal learning goals are at the center of my approach. In our very first lesson, we’ll discuss what’s most important to you, and I’ll create a personalized learning plan that fits your needs.
Whether you prefer playful methods like gamification and music, relaxed conversation practice, or a focused approach to grammar and vocabulary. I adapt to your style of learning! My aim is for you to feel motivated, see real progress, and enjoy the process.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are dynamic and varied:
**Communication**
Practice real-life situations so you can speak with confidence.
**Grammar & Vocabulary**
Clear explanations with immediate application.
**Culture & History**
If you’re interested, I can share insights into German culture, politics, and history – from someone who has lived in Berlin all their life.
**Flexibility**
Music, games, discussions or intensive exam preparation. Everything is possible.
My classes are a safe, respectful space where you can make mistakes without fear, because that’s how we learn. Step by step, we’ll work together to achieve your personal goals.My teaching material
