About Me
italki teacher since Apr 30, 2020Interest topicGamingAnimation & ComicsReading
My name is Marcus and I enjoy teaching German. I studied German linguistics and philosopy at the university and have a background as language learner. I am interested in things as politics, history, music, martial arts, literature, films, comics/anime and technology.
Ich heiße Marcus und liebe es, Deutsch zu unterrichten. Ich habe Germanistik und Philosophie studiert und einen Hintergrund im Fremdsprachenlernen. Ich interessiere mich unter anderem für Politik, Geschichte, Musik, Kampfsport, Literatur, Filme, Comics/Anime und Technologie.Me as a Teacher
For me it's important to make sure that my students are confident in their skills to build upon them. Language learning often is hard and time consuming. So I want to make it as fun as possible by using media and motivate students by showing them what they have achieved so far using practical examples.
Es ist mir wichtig, sicherzugehen, dass meine Schüler sicher in ihren Fertigkeiten sind, um darauf aufzubauen. Eine Sprache zu lernen ist oftmals schwierig und zeitintensiv. Daher möchte ich ihnen es so angenehm wie möglich machen, indem ich verschiedene Medien nutze und sie dahingehend motivere, dass ich ihnen anhand von praktischen Beispielen zeige, was sie bereits erreicht haben.My lessons & teaching style
I would like to know what to talk about / what to practise (grammar points, topics, vocabulary, exams) in order to prepare and offer the best experience. We would speak as much German as possible to make my students confident. For explanations I switch to another language, to ensure that these have been understood. For a better experience I encourage my students to use cloud documents like Google Docs where we can work together at the same time to make notes, corrections, find alternative ways to say things etc.
I will not use the italki classroom because of its many errors. Please have Skype or Google Meet for our lesson.My teaching material

Ich lerne nun schon seit 10 Monaten mit Marcus. Ich habe Marcus’ Lehrmethode sehr geschätzt. Er hat mir geholfen, mein Grammatik beim Schreiben und Sprechen zu verfeinern und mein Wortschatz zu erweitern. Durch ihn bin ich heute viel flüssiger. Sehr empfehlenswert!

I really like Marcus' "Analyzing Media" course. We are in the process of reading an article together, and he provides useful explanations for new vocabulary in the text as well as for grammatical structures employed (including written comments). We are also finding time to discuss the ideas expressed in the article, which is useful for German learners like me trying to improve their spoken communication. Empfehlenswert!

Marcus broke down Wortstellung for me in the most complete way anyone has ever done. Thank-you.

Very clear explanations of grammatical points, all carefully noted by Marcus on a shared doc to review later. Learnt a lot and the time flew by. Thank you for your patience both as I arrived late and as I stumbled over vocabulary!
