About Me
italki teacher since Nov 1, 2017
In my lessons, we speak German! :) Learn German using a full immersion method! :) I am Austrian, and have a passion for my mother tongue. German is a beautiful language, and it is key to master it well if you plan to live, work or study in one of the German-speaking countries.

Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching German since 2000 to people who need German for their work, for their studies and for travel. I have work experience in teaching business German and test preparation for all levels. And I follow polyglots because they have interesting learning techniques!
In my lessons, I use videos with topics that the students prefer, because I think that we learn best when we deal with topics that we love to talk about.
PLEASE READ:
I am happy to help with rescheduling classes up to 1 day before the scheduled time, but I do not accept last minute changes.
I do not teach children on italki - people under 18 years.
My lessons & teaching style
I teach German and do the lessons mostly in German.
Before each lesson, the student works with a video, makes a summary according to their level and learns the vocabulary. During the lesson, we will speak about the video, make role plays and correct the text together. Like this, the student gets trained on hearing, writing and speaking German. :)

Simply the best! Stefanie is a great teacher, and I wholeheartedly recommend her. The lessons are interesting and productive, and after each one I'm even more motivated to learn German. My only regret is not starting six months earlier.

Die Deutshe übung mit Stefanie war so gut aber nicht so einfach, denn Ich hat vergessen alles, leider. Sie war professionelle, und helte mir zu sagen und fragen. I fühlte mich sehr angenehm. Ich würde eine andere Stunde mit Stefanie zu reservieren.

Stefanie's lessons are very comprehensive - I get to practice from listening, speaking, to writing. I definitely learned a ton!

Ich habe den Unterricht sehr genossen und viel aus den Beispielen gelernt. Ich hoffe, dass ich mich schnell in die deutsche Konversation einfinden werde. Stefanie ist eine großartige Lehrerin.

Stefanie was very patient with me and gave good advice for my German learning path. She speaks 100% in German which is a good thing IMO.
