Hallo! I’m Marko, a Duisburg-born native German now based in Malaysia. Raised bilingual, I spent my first 30 years in Germany, earned an MSc in Information Systems, and then enjoyed nine inspiring years in Vienna. Later I moved to China, where I met my English-speaking wife and discovered my passion for teaching languages. During lockdown I completed a PGCE and gained QTS. Since 2022 I’ve taught at international schools across South-East Asia, helping students bridge cultures through confident German. Since 2020 I’ve delivered more than 1 700 italki lessons with a consistent ★★★★★ rating. My experience ranges from tutoring children to coaching business professionals and guiding students through the DSD I/II exams—many now study at German universities. Trained in adaptive teaching, I quickly spot what works for you and build confidence through clear explanations, patience, and humour. Think of me as a friendly coach who pushes you just enough and celebrates every victory. We begin with a relaxed chat and a short placement task to pinpoint your level and aims. Together we map out a customised plan: conversation for fluency, targeted grammar, writing drills, and listening practice in balanced doses. Materials include podcasts, news bites, exam papers, and role-plays. I weave in pronunciation tips and cultural insights, and send concise notes after every lesson so you know exactly what to review before we meet again. Book a trial—let’s make German work for you!

Thank you so much for teaching me over the last few years! The lessons have always been enjoyable and you are amazing at explaining content in a very clear way, and I really appreciated that. I also loved learning about the culture and history of Germany because it was always interesting and informative! I believe that everything you have taught me will definitely help in my exams as well as the materials I was provided with. Additionally, you have inspired me to carry on learning German. Sie sind erstaunlich! Thank you for always being full of joy and I hope you enjoy every day and carry on smiling! I wish you the very best! Vielen Dank für alles!
