About Me
italki teacher since May 8, 2018
Interest topicMusicSports & FitnessTravel
I am a passionated Skateboarder / Surfer, but my theoretical interest belongs to life and its origin. In general with all its facets. That's why I love to travel to get known to different cultures, languages, food an people. Because of that I am a really open-minded person who loves to get inspired from unknown things. I love to philosophy about life with a glass of red vine and to deepen my knowledge with books about psychology, Anthropology, Biology, Spiritualism and so on.
Me as a Teacher
I became a teacher on italki to teach a rare and quite complicated language to all the people around the world who are interested in it and to those who have just fun to learn new things. I am a really relaxed person, pretty communicative and motivated so that I think a lesson with me is more fun than work and that's how I think it should be. For both sides. Teacher and student! A lot of fun with interesting conversations because I think you learn way faster if you do it with fun. I learned a foreign language and I know how hard it can be to step out of the comfort zone to start a conversation but you don't need to worry. I will lead you through the lesson in an comfortable way ;)
My lessons & teaching style
Previews lessons showed me that the aim and the intention of learning German are quite different from person to person. Some are more beginners who want to get better in grammar and their vocabulary so that I rather start from the beginning with some exercise books (Level A1-B2) but also with easy conversations because just exercises are kind of boring. For those who are already advanced some discussions about a specific topic, for example for the C1/C2 exam, can be helpful as well as just trying to have advanced conversations. I always give each student a "goodle doc" document where I record everything new. So, in the end, I'll adapt to the level and the interests of the student ;)
Heute bekam ich eine glückliche E-Mail, dass ich die letzte Zertifikatsprüfung, Telc B1 bestanden habe! Sogar auf dem Zertifikat war es geschrieben, 'Sehr gut'. Juuhhuuu🎉!!
Während ich mich darauf vorbereitet habe, waren die Unterrichten mit Marco sehr hilfreich.
Bei der heutigen Lektion waren Marco und ich über das Ergebnis sehr fröhlich. Nach dem Urlaub will ich bis die nächste, B2 weit laufen, noch mit diesem netten Lehrer, Marco😊

It’s my first class with Marco, and I was a bit nervous. Marco was so nice to offer me some time to chat with me in English first to ease my nervousness. After that we had review on what I should have learned before, and he offered me detailed explanation on preposition and Perfekt vs Präteritum , which are so useful to know! Nice of him to leave me some homework for me to practice. Looking forward to his next class soon!😄

Marco has a great ability to manage the lesson and the student and the pace. It's a rare quality that I recognize as a teacher myself. Marco conducts a relaxed but intensive class. He knows how to put you at ease. He is also very flexible and talors lessons to your needs. I always look forward to having lessons with him. I highly recommend Marco! Он классный учитель :) Un insegnante straordinario! Perfektní učitel!!!

Nach langem habe ich mit Deutschlernen mit Marco wieder angefangen. Er ist noch nett und leitet die Zeit im Unterricht vertraut.
Mit dem geeigneten Feedback und der passenden Aufgabe versucht er, das Niveau meines Deutschs zu erhöhen.
