About Me
italki teacher since Dec 8, 2025InterestsReadingMusicArtTravelFilms & TV Series
I used to work as a software developer for many years, but now I'm really interested in teaching (and learning) languages.Me as a Teacher
I'm a patient listener and will try to encourage you to speak as much as possible. I have a good general understanding of languages and can explain grammar and vocabulary. My lessons & teaching style
I'll try my best to adapt to specific needs and would encourage you to talk, and to write short German texts. I believe shorter teaching forms, and especially music, can help to make consuming a foreign language more accessible and interesting. Likewise, I'd also be happy to share some cultural knowledge about Germany, if you're interested in that. If you want to dive into German literature or philosophy, that's also possible.My teaching material

Das war meine erste Unterrichtsstunde mit Jan und wir haben uns zahlreichen Themen gewidmet, da wir viele gemeinsame Interessen teilen. Zweifelsohne konnte eine einzige Stunde dafür kaum ausreichen. Dank Jan habe ich nun ein deutlich besseres Verständnis für einige sprachliche Feinheiten. Insgesamt war es ein sehr angenehmes und bereicherndes Gespräch in einer angenehmen Atmosphäre.
