Living in Essen, Germany

German native speaker (Standard German) with a passion for teaching and learning languages. --> Conversational classes suitable for levels from B1 to C2, i. e. no beginner level, no structured classes, materials are not necessarily provided. --> I only use MS Teams (you require a private account). --> Before booking your first lesson please message me indicating your current level and language learning goals and check your incoming messages in the italki messenger. Hi there! My name is Barbara, I'm from Germany, and I have been offering German conversation practice here on italki since May 2020. I am talkative, patient, flexible, and open-minded. I discovered my passion for teaching early on when I started tutoring English in high school. I hold a degree as a Foreign Language Correspondent for English and have used Business English, French, and Spanish throughout my career at various international companies. Through years of video calls with speakers from all over the world, I've gained a deep understanding of the typical challenges you face with German grammar and pronunciation. I prefer an informal and relaxed teaching style. We can talk about any topic of your choice to suit your needs. If you're unsure what to talk about, I'll be glad to guide the conversation. How we can work together: Practice speaking more fluently and confidently. Correct grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Review your German emails, letters, or homework. Wherever you are from, I am excited to help you improve. Let's get started—I look forward to meeting you soon!

Barbara is an incredible teacher. I have been with her for several years now and I still look forward to our classes. She has been great about adapting my lessons to my ability. I appreciate the fact that she offers sessions on many days of the week and at a variety of times so that it fits my schedule.

Always good talking with Barbara. I have been improving my German with her for a while now and she has been enormously helpful. She’s patient and gives good feedback and corrections. She’s also fun to talk to. I highly recommend her!
