I’m Kim, a native German speaker from the north of Bavaria, but currently 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. Ich bin Kim und komme aus dem Norden von Bayern, aber lebe zurzeit in Südafrika. Ich habe Übersetzung mit Englisch und Portugiesisch als meinen Fremdsprachen studiert. Wegen meinem Studium beschäftige ich mich sehr tiefgründing mit meiner Muttersprache und ich habe mich auch schon immer für Fremdsprachen interessiert.

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!

I had another excellent lesson with Kim. Her teaching style is very effective. She teaches through conversations (she asks questions, and I try to answer them), and she integrates grammar explanations when she corrects my mistakes. I'm already looking forward to our next lesson.

Kim is attentive,corrects my mistakes and always gives me interesting subjects. After months of interesting lessons with her, I feel my german has improved and feel more confident when speaking it. I highly recommend her!

I had a fantastic German class today! Kim was incredibly attentive and supportive throughout the session. She corrected a text I had written in advance and took the time to carefully note the sentences I was trying to formulate during our conversation. What I appreciated most was the seamless integration of grammar explanations into the lesson. Her corrections were always accompanied by clear, insightful explanations that helped me understand the "why" behind the rules.
