About Me
italki teacher since Apr 6, 2017InterestsScienceEnvironment & NatureTravelBusiness & FinanceTech
First of all, I’m a passionate language learner myself. In my travels around the world, I have learned to quickly comprehend other points of view, which is very helpful when meeting my students and teaching them German. Before teaching German full-time to students all around the world, I was a professional business lawyer. Working for the stock exchange of Stuttgart has been my longest endeavor in this field and there I have learned how to overcome language barriers in international communications. Since then I have developed strongly my communication and teaching skills and am very happy about being able to effectively teach my students German.Me as a Teacher
You can expect an attentive teacher, who will carefully listen to you and provide you with helpful feedback and advice. All this feedback and new concepts/words/expressions learned I will write down for you in a Google Doc. I am always genuinely interested in my student's topics and therefore I know that we will find a common ground on which we can conduct our productive lessons. In general, I am a teacher who can talk about anything and use every moment as an example for teaching purposes. Last but not least you can expect a teacher with a high command of the German language and an ample repertoire of speech expressions.

My lessons focus primarily on the ability to speak and secondarily on grammar in order to reinforce the learning process. There will always be a determined effort on my side to create a relaxing environment in our lessons. With that and my ongoing support, I am sure that you will be speaking abundantly from the first lesson on.
Since repetition and the knowledge of basic structures are very important for quickly learning a language, I make it a habit to use the same words and language structures repetitively in my lessons after introducing them to my students.
At the beginning of the lesson, we will probably talk about your day in order to warm up and practice some small talk.My teaching material

I have been working on learning German with Valerio for a few months now, and couldn't imagine a better experience learning the language. He is extremely knowledgeable, and answers all my questions in a clear and easily understood way. He has made the learning process easy through his well structured lessons, provided materials, and supportive demeanor. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their language abilities.

I had a great experience with Valerio. He was incredibly patient and able to carry out a client conversation as well as pick out your mistakes and make suggestions at the same time. He very willingly adapted the sessions to my needs and I had a positive score in my B1 exam as a result!
Thanks Valerio!

I was pleasantly surprised by how professional Valerio was from the very first minute of the lesson. He corrected my sentences and explained grammar clearly and in detail. I definitely want to continue with his lessons. I am very grateful to him.

Valerio is a great teacher. When it is necessary he is strict, but he is also very funny - it's really an acquired skill to balance the two! Thank you for the lesson today Valerio :)
