Hey, I am Linus, 28 years old and I love languages. I was born in Berlin and thus my native language is German. I also speak English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Esperanto.
Over the past 8 years, I've invested a lot of time into learning languages and met many magnificent people on the way, who I taught and who taught me. Especially over the last few years I've developed many different methods with my students and changed my teaching style quite a bit as a result of trying out new things and adapting to the ideas and suggestions of my students.
Me as a Teacher
After trying out a great deal of methods and approaches as far as language learning, I started teaching on italki 7 years ago to pass on what I've learned through a lot of experimenting and language immersion.
I have now lived in many different countries and each time immersed myself in the language and while this is a good approach, it is not enough on its own and its not a possibility for everyone. However, speaking to native people using video calls is possible for anyone. That's why I am happy to teach my native language on italki and pass on my knowledge.
My lessons & teaching style
Lessons will be customized individually. Depending on the students preferences, we will practice writing, reading, speaking, comprehension, grammar and much more. Most importantly, lessons will be fun while at the same time challenging. I am open to suggestions and wishes from students but can provide step by step instructions and lessons for students who need more guidance.

Linus was very thorough and a pleasure to have a lesson with. He also provided helpful documents that you can refer back to after the lesson which I find very useful. It was a great first meeting and I look forward to the coming lessons!

I really enjoy my lessons with Linus! He is helping me so much with my German pronunciation, grammar and vocab. He answers my questions on grammar really clearly, which means I am becoming more confident with my sentence structures :)

Linus is fantastic. He taps into your own interests and uses them to get you thinking in German. As a result, you actually retain what you’re learning, and you quickly accumulate linguistic building blocks you start using right away to speak for yourself. Highly recommended.
