About Me
italki teacher since Jun 28, 2016InterestsSports & FitnessFoodTravel
I'm a friendly and sociable person who loves meeting new people - that's why I enjoy teaching on italki so much! I love exploring new countries, cultures and languages and I have lived some time in Germany, India, England and Brazil. Now I'm living in the South of France in the countryside. I'm a very active person and I love doing Yoga and Acroyoga. I'm interested in meditation and Ayurveda as well as topics related to health and well-being in general. My other hobbies are learning playing the guitar, knitting and sewing, cooking and playing with my big fluffy cat Tapioca.Me as a Teacher
I have always enjoyed teaching and sharing knowledge with the people around me, so giving language classes is something that comes quite natural to me. I'm a very patient person and it gives me great satisfaction to see my students progress, each one at their on individual pace. Making students feel at ease is essential for me, especially since we try to speak German as much as possible from the first lesson. I have lots of different materials, pdfs, videos, worksheets and online exercises to facilitate fun and engaging lessons that make your learning journey easy. I always adapt my material to the needs of my students, so please tell me about your goals and needs in advance.My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons we will cover different everyday topics such as work, hobbies, travel etc. but if you are interested in some particular topics please let me know and I will adapt the lesson material for you. I usually create a personalised online vocabulary course for each student and I add the words we learn each lesson, which makes learning new words more fun and interactive. Grammar points are introduced according to your level and I will send you exercises and worksheets to put the grammar into practise right away. I will provide pdf-files with course materials and you will usually get some homework to do (for example reading a text, writing something or doing some online exercises).My teaching material

I write this review in English so everybody understands it:
I have had quite few German teachers and I can say that Luisa has been the best one. She is calm, and very patient. we talk a lot while we are working on the topics. the time that she spend for correcting the homeworks and also providing the materials is impressive. finally, I am enjoying learning German. Thank you Luisa :)

This was my first lesson with Luisa and I enjoyed it very much. She was well prepared, positive and upbeat and had even sent me resources before our call. The entire conversation was in German which I actually appreciated because it forces me to speak the language. I look forward to our next session!

Luisa continues to be patient with me and take the time time to explain. She corrects me as I speak just enough for me to get the point without stopping me completely, even when I have to try several times to get it right.
