Teaching 11 languages , currently learning 3 more, 20+ years of experience as a teacher Hello! My name is Thomas, an experienced user and teacher of 11 languages —with German 🇩🇪 and Slovenian 🇸🇮 as my native tongues and with a lifelong passion for studying new ones (I’m currently learning 3). With 25 years of teaching experience (20 as an independent tutor), I specialize in structured, school-style lessons tailored to your goals. Whether you’re starting from scratch or polishing fluency, I’ll help you build and improve skills systematically. When teaching I take my work seriously. A scheduled lesson becomes part of my weekly plan and I get ready for it. I conduct a detailed journal of what we have been doing, thus it is easy for me to check the content of our previous sessions. I used to teach students in physical classrooms. In 2021 I started using Skype for my lessons (today it's Teams) and things work out very well. I am always punctual as I respect the time my students take for our lessons, likewise I do appreciate if my students do the same. My lessons can be conducted in any of the following languages: German Slovenian English French Swedish Danish Norwegian Italian Spanish Dutch Esperanto I try to conduct my lessons in a way that resembles the conventional school as much as possible. Meaning a thorough explanation of the grammar with several carefully tailored examples, exercises, homework, checking the student's progress, listening and reading comprehensions and once the student's knowledge progresses sufficiently, having a conversation.

Mi sono trovato subito a mio agio con Thomas e ho apprezzato molto il suo approccio che è quello che ritengo più adatto al mio profilo di apprendimento. Continuerò sicuramente a imparare lo sloveno con lui e lo consiglio a tutti.

Thomas è stato molto calmo e attento durante la lezione. Ha subito cercato di comprendere il mio livello, adattando la lezione a conseguenza. La sua lezione è stata piacevole da seguire e mi sentivo a mio agio. Hvala lepa!

Thomas is a great teacher and has helped me not pronounce 'h' in all sorts of Spanish words, even though it seems to be a hard lesson for me to learn. Thomas is very patient and knows a lot about language structure and history. He's also more than happy to translate Bad Bunny song lyrics (my idea) alongside structured lessons on grammar.
