Hallo und Guten Tag! šŸ‘‹ I’m Henry, a linguist and German/English specialist with 15+ years of teaching. Born in Czechia, I’ve lived across Germany and Slovakia—so expect real-world language and cultural insights! My linguistics background means I don’t just teach grammar; I decode how languages work, making even tricky concepts click. Whether you’re prepping for school or certificate exams, business German, or casual conversation, I’ll tailor lessons to your goals. Let’s turn Deutsch from daunting to doable—one fun, immersive lesson at a time. Bis bald! I am patient, calm and friendly. I use mostly my own specialized materials for teaching, but also many books and online material to explain any topic as clean and effective as possible. I teach since I was 18(now it is 16 years with over 1000 of students): I taught kids, adults or managers in many companies in classes up to 16 people or face-to-face with only one student. Currently I am working in the Goethe Institute in Bratislava. Why Choose Me: -Extensive teaching experience. - A deep understanding of the language and its cultural context. - Tailored lessons to suit individual needs and goals. - A commitment to creating an engaging and interactive learning experience I am specialized in any field of the German language: - Beginner Course - Intermediate Course - Expert Course - Communication Course - Business German - Negotiations in German - Preparation for exams - Cultural aspects and etiquette ...

Im currently working on getting to a B2 level and I feel confident that I can get there with Henry. He points out issues in my language and helps me to fix them, or works with me for a couple lessons to improve them. He also introduces new Grammar ideas or Vocabulary that helps me significantly to improve my language. Thank you! I hope to reach B2!

Wow, 100 lessons! That's hard to believe! Henry, you are still just as patient and prepared during my 100th lesson as you were during the 1st. When I started, I didn't know ANY German, and I've learned so much. I'm looking forward to the next 100 lessons! :-)

This was my 110th lesson with Henry. I am a veterinarian with a practice on the Central Coast of California and my wife and I travel frequently to Germany. Both of us have had over 100 lesson with Henry and have made significant progress. Henry is willing to go as quickly or slowly as needed to help us learn the language. I highly recommend him.

I managed to pass my German A1 examination with only 14 days of studying due to Henry's help. I must say that Henry's teaching strategy is very effective as it actually makes you think and understand the concepts, not just memorize them, which is very important in retaining the knowledge long-term. I would definitely recommend Henry as an effective teacher for anyone who wants to learn German efficiently and confidently.
