About Me
italki teacher since Aug 12, 2018Interest topicSports & FitnessTravelPets & AnimalsEnvironment & NatureMusic
Hi! My name is Alexander Gahr and I am from Germany but I live in Spain. I've always loved traveling and languages, that's why I moved to Spain over 10 years ago, in order to study languages in a foreign country. I also lived in Greece as an Erasmus student. After finishing my degree I moved to the Canary Islands.
During summer I love to travel around the world... :)
Besides learning languages and traveling, I love doing sports (cycling, movement, yoga, calisthenics, swimming), I like international music (from Spain, Greece, Turkey, Balkans, Brasil...), and I love nature (hiking)!Me as a Teacher
During my studies of Translation and Interpreting in Spain, I started working as a German teacher (2004). After I finished my Bachelor's degree, I completed a postgraduate degree in Language, Translation and Literature. After this, I completed a German Teaching Course at the Goethe Institute.
I have worked as a German teacher not only at many different private language schools like Inlingua, but also at the university, the Official German School and at an Examination Center of the Goethe Institute where I got the certificate as an official Goethe examiner. I have lots of experience as an online teacher (Skype, Zoom, Hangouts,WebEx).
I am a very openminded and enthusiastic German teacher.My lessons & teaching style
My classes are dynamic, communicative and interactive. I adapt and prepare my lessons exactly according to each student's needs. During my lessons, we talk about current topics, I ask the student questions, I listen to them and write mistakes down in order to explain them to the student afterwards. I also write the vocabulary down and send it to the student after the lesson. I send them interesting links about videos, exercises or other German learning material.
As to grammar, I adapt it to your wishes and needs, and I concentrate on the necessary parts (not the exceptions).
Since I usually have a lesson before or after your lesson, please notice that my lesson duration is 55 minutes.My teaching material

I have now completed 9 lessons with Alex and can highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their German.
I initially started taking his classes to prepare for my B1 Prüfung and he was super helpful esp. with the writing and speaking sections that I wanted to focus on. I am continuing with his lessons after the exam as I have learned a lot and also enjoyed the classes.

Alex is a great teacher who came well prepared to every lesson. Also his lessons are really structured and well planned.
We prepared for the Goethe C2 certificate. Alex had extra material, suiting exercices and helpful tips. He could also answer practically every questions I had.
