I graduated with a Master's degree in 2022 (I am a Secondary/ High school level teacher). However, I've been teaching German, English and Spanish since 2019. I have worked as private tutor, school teacher, language assistant and also as a research assistant in the field of linguistics. To sum up, I have a deep understanding of language learning and teaching.
During my studies, I helped various international students from all around the world to settle in Germany and I'd also love to share useful cultural insights about the German culture with you.
In my free time, I love spending time in nature, preferably climbing or hiking 🧗♂️🌲My lessons & teaching style
Sometimes, the goal is clear. For example, language assessment tests. Sometimes, it's more abstract. For example: "I want to improve conversation" or "I need German for work". Let me help you to translate these goals into specific learning goals.
We then either have a topic-oriented class, while we often pause to focus on things we can improve (via exercises, whiteboard, multi-media, etc.) or - knowing a certain area which needs improvement, we have grammar/pronunciation/Vocabulary/ Reading-oriented class.
At the end of each class, you will get a learning protocol including new vocabulary, corrections or exercises.
It depends on you as a learner and the class.My teaching material

If you're looking for a teacher who genuinely enjoys his work, likes to help out with his students, and takes care to listen and help improve student progress, Ben is the best teacher for you. I'm a teacher myself, and I can see that he takes his job seriously. He prepares well, takes on board student needs and feedback, makes the lessons interesting, has excellent resources and is an excellent listener. He is organised, articulate, can actually teach (there's a difference between just knowing something and actually know how to impart this information), has patience and pays attention to students. I'm unconfident in my German, but having since found Ben, I am slowly gaining some confidence and can see my prior uncertainties to certain concepts disappear. Super grateful for Ben's hard work.

Mit Ben habe ich mich auf das Goethe-Zertifikat B2 und danach C1 vorbereitet. Er hat jeden Unterricht an meine Lernziele angepasst und das Beste aus unserer Zeit herausgeschlagen. Wir haben uns vor allem auf den mündlichen Teil konzentriert und viele Simulationen gemacht. Ben hat alle meine Fehler sorgfältig korrigiert und am Ende des Unterrichts mir wertvolles Feedback gegeben. Ohne Bens Hilfe hätte ich diese Prüfungen nicht so schnell und selbstsicher bestehen können.

Ben is a professional and experienced tutor who tailors the class specifically to your needs. I enjoy the balance of conversation and focussed work in each session. I've improved so much in a very short time and I'm confident that Ben will help me reach my language goals 😁

I've had the pleasure of a few classes with Ben in recent weeks. He is a superb teacher, a natural communicator with a wide range of material to support his efficient teaching style. Most importantly, he's a wonderful, kind, friendly and helpful person and I really look forward to my weekly class with him. Thanks a million, Ben.
