About Me
italki teacher since Sep 18, 2018
Hi, I´m Simone and I´m 30 years old. :)
I am a certified teacher for foreign languages and here to teach you German.
I offer a variety of courses to meet exactly your needs and learning preferences. I am experienced in helping you with general language learning, conversation practice, test preparation and German for work. I hold a BA in business and have several years of work experience in this field.
Personally, I like learning about different cultures and enjoy talking about travels, health, psychology, personal development and healing. I really enjoy meeting new people and am always open to learn about new things - so I look forward what you will have to share with me. :)
Me as a Teacher
Flexibility is key for successful language learning! This is why I offer a variety of different courses which will meet exactly your needs. We can work with structured classes, different material or have completely natural conversations.
I am a certified teacher and an experienced tutor. I have taught all age levels and focus on working with adults at the moment.
I believe that speaking different languages opens many doors to the world. You can live in different countries, meet new people and It also allows us to learn things from different perspectives.
I am really passionate about sharing my language skills. It is very rewarding for me to see the quick progress my students are making.
My lessons & teaching style
During the first class/es I like to get to know you and your language skills. Afterwards, I will give you feedback to identify what we need to work on. Based on this I can also send you grammar explanations and exercises.
If you would like to prepare for classes I can provide different types of material about several topics. However, I am also happy to look into topics that you are especially interested in.
Generally, I will encourage you to speak most of the time. I like to keep explanations in the target language but can of course also explain things in a language that you feel more comfortable with. If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask and I will be happy to answer. :)

Awesome! She prepared a table with lots of words focused on the topic of soft skills so I could learn them, remember better, and talk about what I thought about them! She is amazingly prepared and caring.
When I don't understand a word she used, she notices before I even have to say anything. Very attentive. She is also super easy to talk to.

Simone was a very good and professional teacher. Great at keeping conversations and assessing my weaknesses and level of proficiency! Also quick on building a plan and generating ideas to improve my language skills. Very patient and flexible and has great interesting topics!
Totally recommend her!

man lernt eine Sprache, indem man sie übt und spricht und Simone ist eigentlich eine der besten, mit der man eine Sprache übt und lernt ^^

I take the conversation class with Simone. The format of the class is very good, and it is evident that she is a professional teacher.
I like her class because:
1) She is very good at keeping the conversation flowing naturally during the entire hour. She is very friendly. The time is enjoyable, and I feel comfortable.
2) She corrects my grammar/vocabulary mistakes in a friendly way, and her explanations are very clear. This is very good for me, because usually I get nervous when I try to speak German.
3) She truly makes an effort to understand what I am trying to say and explains me how to say it correctly. I do not feel judge or afraid to make mistakes.

Simone uses a format that works perfectly for me. She encourages me to speak beyond my comfort zone and then makes me correct my own errors after the fact. A great way to learn. I never feel pressured and the hour seems to last five minutes. I definitely will sign up for more of these lessons. Thanks

This was a great lesson. She essentially dictated what I said, than after a few minutes we reviewed exactly what I said. I think this is an excellent way to learn and plan to continue more lessons with her. Dankeschön
