Not sure where to start or how to feel more confident speaking German? Good. That's where we begin. Hi, I'm Heike. I’ve been teaching German online since 2016, and what I enjoy most is that moment when something suddenly clicks and learners realise: “I can actually do this.” I work with all levels, but I have a soft spot for beginners. I hold a Magistra Artium in Ethnology, Archaeology & Sociology, and yes, I worked as an archaeologist in Peru. That background shapes how I teach: language is not just grammar, but culture, history and people. In my lessons, you speak from day one. We work with real-life situations and build your confidence step by step. A shared Google Doc keeps everything in one place. For grammar, I use Deutschfuchs. Homework is optional, but it really helps. Hola, soy Heike. Enseño alemán online desde 2016, y lo que más me gusta es ese momento en que algo encaja y el estudiante piensa: “sí puedo hacerlo”. Trabajo con todos los niveles, pero tengo especial cariño por principiantes. ¿No sabes por dónde empezar? Por ahí empezamos. Tengo una Magistra Artium en Etnología, Arqueología y Sociología, y sí, trabajé como arqueóloga en Perú. Esa experiencia define mi enfoque: el idioma no es solo gramática, sino cultura, historia y personas. En mis clases hablas desde el primer día. Trabajamos con situaciones reales y construimos tu confianza paso a paso. Un Google Doc compartido lo guarda todo. Para la gramática uso Deutschfuchs. Explico con claridad, hago las preguntas adecuadas y doy feedback honesto. Los deberes son opcionales, pero ayudan de verdad.

I have had German lessons with Heike over an extended period and have enjoyed and profited from the experience very much. She is patient and supportive, while also giving constructive feedback. The mood in the sessions is relaxed, but there is a clear focus on learning. As someone who has learned several languages herself, Heike has appreciation for the hurdles we face as language learners. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality German instruction.

Heike is a very energetic, caring, and professional teacher. In our first lesson, she took the time to understand my learning goals and clearly explained the plan for the next lessons. Her teaching style was easy to follow, and she created a comfortable atmosphere that helped me feel confident speaking German. She stayed focused throughout the class and used well-prepared materials. I especially appreciated her positive energy and patience. It was a very enjoyable and productive first lesson, and I am looking forward to learning more with Heike.
