So take your first step right now, book a session with me and let me accompany you on your journey to speaking German fluently!Me as a Teacher
Since 2006, I have been teaching German as a foreign language in Taipei, Taiwan to Chinese native speakers. Because I had had an interest in the Chinese language and culture for many years, in 2005 I moved to Taiwan to learn Mandarin Chinese. At some point during my stay I had to start looking for work and ended up teaching German at a local language center. Right from the start I loved teaching German and since then have kept on working as a language instructor with a passion, gaining experience over the years and keeping up with improving my skills and expanding my knowledge up to this day.My lessons & teaching style

老师真的特别好!
☀️第一阶段上课的时候,我的德语才A1,但是我要考B1口语。所以我水平很差,不怎么爱说话,也不爱表达,后面自己压力很大对上课也比较逃避,但是老师也没有说什么,也鼓励我很多。而且也凭借老师的直接有效的指导,顺利通过考试。
🌟第二阶段上课,我对于听力非常焦虑,对备考也完全没接触。所以第一节课全程输出,问了很多问题。但老师就很耐心听着,答疑解惑。 直到后面,我也能在每次短暂的课程中获得很多有效技巧和信心。也会积极主动交流和回答。明显比之前更加自信。
🍀谢谢老师!祝福每个考试的人!

We went though the speaking section Teil 3 (finding a time) and some tips to know during the exam. I was trying to understand grammar rules and focused on minor accuracy, to be honest, it made me frustrated for a few days during my own study preparation. Now I feel a little more confident after consulting with Florian. Meanwhile, practice is the key!

I've been working with Florian for 9 lessons now, and I'm encouraged. I'm B1 certified in German, but didn't practice and have lost a lot over the last 3 years. With little success studying again on my own, I sought a tutor to motivate me. Florian follows the modern approach of natural language learning: assimilating language through exposure, like we do as children, rather than rote memorization. However, I struggled with getting myself to study between classes, as I found reviewing B1 level very difficult, and was still frustrated and unmotivated by A2.2 level lessons. To help me, Florian suggested easier materials, to tackle my motivation first, and build study habits. He supplied different resources that are much easier, so I feel good when studying, which motivates me to keep going. Hopefully, after a few weeks of doing a little easier work daily, I'll have built a habit which will carry me through more difficult levels. So far it's working, and I'm encouraged to keep going. Yay!

The lesson is well-structured and we covered almost all the three parts in the speaking test. I learnt a lot in just one hour!
