About Me
italki teacher since Oct 24, 2019InterestsBusiness & FinanceFilms & TV SeriesReadingHistoryTravel
I’m Kim, a native German speaker from the north of Bavaria. For the past 4 years I've been living in South Africa. I studied translation at university with English as my first and Portuguese as my second language.
I’ve always been very passionate about languages and over the past few years I’ve invested a lot of time into learning Portuguese, Hungarian and Afrikaans.
Some of my interests include: languages, traveling, hiking, 4x4, history, psychology and economics.Me as a Teacher
Since I’ve already learned various languages myself, I know how daunting it can be to start speaking in a foreign language. My goal is to make you feel comfortable during our lessons and to help you build your confidence. I will also correct your mistakes and show you the areas where you can improve.
I want you to get the most out of our lessons that’s why I will try to provide you with notes and corrections so that you can continue to study even after our lesson ends.
If you think that I am the right teacher for you, feel free to book a trial lesson or message me if you have any questions regarding my lessons :)My lessons & teaching style
My classes are ideal for people who want to improve their spoken German, but I can also help you with grammar questions and writing if you want.
✔ I will correct your mistakes and write the correct version in the chat
✔ I can provide you with topics and materials to prepare for each class

I also offer a special course for beginners, who are just starting out with German or who don’t feel that confident at speaking yet. This course includes:

Her corrections and feedback during conversation lessons are quite precise and effective. She also has the linguistic talent to make an intuitive guess to understand what I tried to say even if I got mixed up with the vocabulary. She corrects me on Skype or via a Google doc during the lessons and I review them occasionally. I have been learning German with her since my B1 training and I use these notes as a journal both at work and during everyday situations. Her proofreading also helps my understanding of the language as she explains the nuances and gives me valuable tips. Learning a language requires significant patience and an effective teacher knows how to model learning effectively. I think she is the one.

Kim was great to work with on our first lesson together. I am a beginner in German yet we somehow managed to stick to the language for 99% of the class! She typed every correction or suggestion in the skype chat box so I was able to go back and read what the proper phrase was to say. I took 3+ pages of notes after the lesson so her teaching didn't just stop after the hour ended!

Kim is a wonderful teacher - I felt comfortable to speak, make mistakes, and ask questions right from the start. It was also helpful to see it all written out in our transcript. Vielen Dank, Kim!
