Hi, I’m Fenja. I’m originally from near Hamburg and now live in the Canary Islands, where life feels a bit slower and closer to nature. In my teaching, I draw on psychology to understand how people learn best. I focus on your pace and style to create a space that feels relaxed, supportive, and comfortable. My lessons are conversation-based and practical, helping you speak German with more ease and confidence. Grammar is there to support you, but the center of our lessons is always communication. Overall, I aim to create sessions that feel both grounded and engaging, where you can make real progress while feeling at ease.
Drawing from my insights from Psychology, especially those about learning and educational psychology, I've designed my programs to place the student at its heart. For me, understanding each student's unique learning pace and style is paramount. I value patience and kindness, not just as personal principles, but as essential components in teaching.

I've been taking lessons with Fenja for a few months now, and I enjoy every lesson. I'm a beginner, so it's still pretty hard for me to speak in German, but Fenja's super personable and patient, and explains things well, so she's helped me gain some confidence in speaking. Would highly recommend her classes.

Fenja is awesome! She is incredibly patient, kind, interesting, and professional. I can’t say enough. The classes are structured with lots of time for conversation and new material with homework as well. Hard to believe it’s been four months of lessons thus far. Thanks Fenja!
