About Me
italki teacher since Feb 22, 2021InterestsTravelHistoryWritingMarketingEnvironment & Nature
My name is Denise, and I am a native German speaker and a certified teacher of German as a foreign language. Since I have learned both English and Spanish, I understand the difficulties of mastering a new language. My personal experience allows me to support you with effective learning strategies, empathy, and encouragement. Before becoming a full-time teacher, I worked as a project manager in marketing, which gave me valuable insights into the language and culture of the German business world.
I’m here to help you achieve your goals in a fun and engaging way. Let’s make your German journey enjoyable and successful together!Me as a Teacher
My goal is to support you on your German learning journey — whether you’re starting from scratch, preparing for work-related situations, or aiming to perfect your skills. I want to create a space where you feel confident and unafraid to make mistakes. In addition to general lessons, I offer Business German for professionals who wish to improve their communication at work — in interviews, meetings, or presentations. I tailor lessons to your needs and interests to make learning both enjoyable and effective. My lessons & teaching style

Certificates
Sprachrhythmus und Sprachmelodie (Intonation) - VHS Rheinland Pfalz - 2025I am a certified trainer for German pronunciation and intonation (DaF). This qualification deepens my knowledge beyond grammar and helps learners improve both their speaking and listening skills through a better understanding of sounds, stress, and melody in German. It supports accent reduction to enhance clarity, avoid misunderstandings, and strengthen listening skills.

Denise is clearly an experienced German teacher, and the best among several that I have had before. This experience shows in the clarity of teaching, knowledge of teaching topics, and structure of discourse. We identify and work on weaknesses, and Denise takes care to go beyond the comfort zone of the student without going too far. In my opinion, this is the optimal way to learn for anyone. As a teacher, the rapport is good and is established on clear communication. Altogether, I would certainly recommend Denise ahead of all other teachers I have had before.

Denise has helped me prepare for an important work meeting in German. It was my first video call in German with clients, thanks to the preparation, phrases and words rehearsal all went really well. Thank you, Denise, for your help as always.
