BECOME CONVERSATIONAL WITHIN A FEW LESSONS!
I like teaching languages, because it always means cultural exchange.
Learning languages should be fun and every lesson is tailor-made according to the needs of the student. I had several ADHD students with special needs and could help them to achieve their learning goals.
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.
My motto: There is no inapt student, only teachers who do not know how to teach the individual student effectively!My lessons & teaching style

Integrated learning method!
I have a wide range of materials, textbooks, PDF files, children's books, teenager literature, newspaper articles, games and videos for different age groups. I adjust my teaching method to my students. Students have different expectations and I try to find them out. I ask my students for feedback and let them chose the material; try to have a balanced class, grammar, conversation, quiz, games and free talking, reading and writing.
As I have learnt several languages (Russian, English, Latin, Korean, Hindi), I know about difficulties and pitfalls of learning a language.My teaching material

My son has been learning from Alex for the past 4 years and he recently completed the iGCSE exam with an A*, the highest grade. This excellent result would not have been possible without Alex’s help and dedication to really push Evan to excel. He’s without a doubt one of the best German teachers out there.

Another great lesson as always. Today we discussed a video that talked about ancient wisdom and its place in today's society. Through this discussion, I was able to practice and refine specific grammatical points and learn vocabulary and expressions one would not normally encounter in a textbook or other learning situations.

Alex is very very good. He understands when I am stuck and is very intuitive and extremely patient with me. Other teachers have berated me, but he does not.
