Me as a Teacher
I am a translator (English, Urdu, French, German) and a software engineer. But, most of all, I am a polyglot language enthusiast, learning and teaching languages, and sharing my passion, experience, and expertise in language learning.
Having always been immersed in language acquisition... already as a student, as well as during my subsequent careers as a programmer, translator, and Red Cross interpreter in India (Urdu, Hindi <> English, French, German), I have been teaching groups and individuals privately and at public education institutions, from one-to-one tutoring to full-time intensive courses.
My lessons & teaching style
I believe in the power of emotion, which in my opinion is far more important in language acquisition than any intellectual potential. When dealing with personally relevant material, the learning process goes far more smoothly and is considerably less painful than the brute-force-approach we sometimes had to endure during our own school times.
Just let me understand where you are on your language learning journey, and let me know where you wish to go. This would define the way to go as well as the obstacles to surmount. In the end, the learning process happens inside of you and nowhere else. I can only be a facilitator, supporting this self-motivated learning process.

Рюдигер очень талантливый преподаватель. Мне всегда интересно с ним на уроках. Он всегда поддерживает и направляет, когда что-то не получаеться. А так же, благодаря своему опыту, даёт самые ценные советы по прохождению языка.

Wonderful teacher. Rüdiger is consistently ready to "flood" your brain with German and help with vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and anything else a learner needs. He takes his job as a language teacher very seriously, but at the same time has fun with it and is flexible - a winning combination. Thanks for all your patience & help Rüdiger.

Rüdiger hat mich mit seinem Unterrichtsstil und der Schnelligkeit, mit der er die für mich nützliche Strategie identifizierte, angenehm beeindruckt
