I have been teaching English and German for more than 18 years in language institutes, schools, NGOs, workshops, tribal villages, private individual and group lessons, kindergartens, preschools and my two daughters in several countries such as Austria, Germany, India, Nepal, Laos, Thailand, South Korea and so on. I provide tailor made classes in a relaxed atmosphere. With plenty of experience I teach you German as a language and culture.
I graduated from a language school, then studied anthropology at the Vienna University and currently write my PhD thesis at the Pune University, India.

Me as a Teacher
PLEASE CONTACT ME REGARDING THE TIME BEFORE BOOKING!
I have a wide range of teaching experience, from tribal schools in Thailand and Nepal to elementary schools, kindergarten and an adult language academy in Korea. I like teaching languages because it is always a cultural exchange.
Learning a language should be fun and every lesson is tailor-made according to the needs of the student.
I teach German in an integrated way, grammar, conversation, reading and writing.
I will give you homework and motivate you to learn as well at home.
I have a motto: There is no inapt student, only teachers who do not know how to teach the individual student effectively!
My lessons & teaching style
PLEASE CONTACT ME REGARDING THE TIME BEFORE BOOKING!
I have a wide range of materials, from ordinary textbooks, PDF files to children's books, teenager literature, newspaper articles, games and videos for different age groups. I adjust my teaching method and speed to my students. Students have different expectations and I try to find out what they are. I usually ask my students for feedback and let them chose the material. I try to have a balanced class, basic grammar, conversation, quiz, games and free talking, reading and writing.
As I have learnt several languages (Russian, English, Latin, Korean, Hindi) myself, I know about difficulties and pitfalls of learning a language.

My kids enjoy the lessons with Alex. The material is interactive, very engaging and lots of fun. My kids even play some of the games between the lessons. I can see significant improvement in their speech and by now they can also read German books. Alex lesson are an ideal option to help students growing up abroad with improving their German language skills.

I definitely recommend Alex to anyone looking for a German teacher. Alex is patient, he always makes sure to provide some material in preparation for a lesson, and above all he has an impeccable beard! 😆
I've been taking German lessons with Alex as my teacher for a couple of months now and I'm very content!

Alex is a great teacher who really listens to my specific needs and goals. I am already noticing rapid improvement, and he not only helps me improve during the lessons but also provides me with tools and methods to enhance my skills on my own outside of the lessons.
