Hi, nice to meet you! Schön, dich auf meinem Profil zu sehen!
I'm Lotti, a certified German and English teacher from Dortmund, Germany 🇩🇪
I've lived and taught English and German in India, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Thailand, Guatemala, Mexico and in various European countries.
I have a passion for traveling, meeting new people and learning languages to connect with the world and the people in it.
!!! I DO NOT teach children !!! Ich unterrichte KEINE KINDER !!!Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching learners in groups and one-on-one for more than 10 years in different settings.
I started teaching online in February 2020.
No matter if you are just after some casual conversation or if you are preparing for a C1-exam, I will make sure that you achieve your goals and improve your language skills. I can also help you with questions about life in Germany and support you in dealing with German bureaucracy.
I’m a patient and encouraging teacher. I will go over grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation with you as many times as you need and correct you when necessary so that you can improve quickly.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are all about you! We’ll focus on the areas you wish to improve in and have interesting, fun and engaging lessons. I can help you prepare for your German exam, work with a textbook or concentrate on conversation practice.
We will read and discuss articles to broaden your vocabulary and improve your pronunciation and will generally speak a lot so that you become more confident and comfortable with using German.
I can assign homework and provide further material for self-study.

Lotti is a really great teacher, and I enjoy my lessons with her very much. She is patient, funny, and easygoing, and speaks German slowly enough for me as a beginner to understand. I can recommend her to everyone who wants to improve German skills in a friendly and relaxed environment.

I was honestly really nervous about signing up for iTalki -- I was worried about being put continuously on the spot. But, working with Lotti has been wonderful! She never makes me feel dumb or like I should know better. (I had some bad high school language class experiences, which is why I developed this anxiety.) I especially liked when we reviewed grammar because I really need these reminders. Thank you for being such an excellent tutor, Lotti! I'll be back. :)

If you're new to German, then I cannot recommend Lotti more highly!
Almost a year ago I learned I would be going to Germany for a month. I arrived to my first lesson speaking barely more than "ein bisschen" (a bit) or "ich verstehe nicht" (I don't understand). I remember Lotti as patient and reassuring in that lesson and in every lesson that followed. I have found my German lessons to be fun, I have told and heard funny stories in German, and I have learned many things about the German language and Germany from Lotti. I am no longer nervous about having conversations in German! I'm looking forward to my trip because Lotti really helped improve my German.

Super clear and helpful tuition. I previously learned German in school and speak other Germanic languages, Lotti speaks a lot of German in our lessons, in a clear and understandable way which helps me remember/re-learn in a fun and efficient way. We are currently working through the Menschen books which gives a clear learning plan. Highly recommended.
