Hello and welcome!
My name is Dennis, and since 2006 I am a professional German teacher with a structured and results-oriented teaching approach.
Over the years, I have worked with students from many different countries and backgrounds — beginners taking their first steps in German, professionals preparing for careers in German-speaking countries, and advanced learners aiming for fluency.
My lessons are always personalized and adapted to your goals, your level, and your learning style.
I focus on three key elements that make language learning effective:
• clear structure
• active speaking practice
• continuous feedbackMe as a Teacher
Many students struggle with German because they focus on grammar and vocabulary without practicing real communication. In my lessons, we use German in practical, everyday situations so you can speak confidently and naturally. I support learners from A1–C2, including conversation, exam prep (Goethe, telc, TestDaF, ÖSD, DSH, DTZ), business German, job applications, interviews, and Swiss naturalization. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident using German in real life. Have questions? Send me a message! Book a trial lesson and we’ll create your personal learning plan together.

This was my first lesson on italki and with Dennis. I was really nervous because I'm not used to speaking in German with others but Dennis is supportive and easy to talk to. He came prepared with so much material. I am excited about continuing our lessons.
