About Me
italki teacher since Aug 22, 2019InterestsTravelMedical & HealthcareSports & FitnessGaming
I was born in Germany and moved to the States when I was twenty years old. I've been teaching and pursuing my acting career in New York, Los Angeles and Atlanta. I currently live in Germany.
I have a 24 HOUR CANCELATION POLICY. Please use the italki system to reschedule or cancel lessons with more than 24 hours notice. Please do not request to reschedule within 24 hours. If you cannot make a lesson simply let me know and schedule an entirely new lesson online. Thank you for your understanding. I appreciate you and value your time.Me as a Teacher
What makes me stand out is that I have learned how the CIA and FBI teach languages. It is quick, effective, easy and it works like no other system. And now I can help you reach more proficiency effectively so that you learn German with joy and confidence.
I have taught adults and children from all walks of life for more than 20 years now. I tutor all skill levels in German and English and beginners in French and Japanese.
I provide a safe space full of encouragement and positivity. My students often comment on my patience and clarity. My lessons & teaching style
My teaching centers around the system in use by the CIA and FBI. The key to learning a language quickly is to apply interval recall of vocabulary while forming sentences.
This way of learning makes the learner produce the words instantly out of his or her own mind (as opposed to a book or another outside source) therefore creating the new neural pathways.
We can work at a quick pace because the more sentences you produce the better you will retain the new information.
I also use pictures to create a simple prompt and response conversation style which enables even beginning students to talk in the target language.5.0

Celine is without a doubt among the most extraordinary teachers I have ever encountered in a long life of language study. And a gem of a human being

Celine is an amazing teacher. In just 4 sessions, I feel like I've already learned so much from her. She's patient, articulate, and very keen. Her teaching method of layering words onto sentences has really helped me to retain all the vocabulary! I look forward to every lesson that I have with her!! If you want to learn from her, she's the one!

Celine was very easy to work with, speak with, and patient. Plus obviously knowledgeable in how to handle beginner speakers who are nervous.

I have taken classes with Celine for about two and a half years now. First, she taught me German and now she is teaching me French from German. She is excellent at explaining grammar and always makes sure that her classes are fun. Our classes are always filled with laughter and good vibes.

It has been a joy to reconnect with Celine for daily German classes. She is a gifted and enthusiastic conversationalist, keeping every session lively throughout. I'm about to embark on a trip to Germany, putting my practice into practice! :-) Thank you Celine!
