About Me
italki teacher since May 11, 2020InterestsFilms & TV SeriesReadingTravel
Hello my name is Janine and I teach German, English and Spanish here on italki. I have a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in teaching and I love languages. In my free time, I enjoy reading books in the three languages I speak and teach. Moreover, I watch movies and TV shows in the original version. I'm also interested in Positive Psychology and acting and I'm a part-time princess for children's birthday parties and other events.
I have a university degree (Bachelor and Master) in teaching languages and I have been teaching German, English and Spanish for over 5 years to students of different ages. My oldest student was 80 and I think he is a good example that it is never too late to start learning a new language or enhancing your language skills and taking your language learning to the next level. I'm a very patient and empathetic teacher who thinks mistakes are an important part of the learning process and whose goal it is to create a comfortable learning atmosphere for you.
All my lessons are prepared individually and adapted to your needs. We can cover different aspects in each lesson such as speaking, reading, writing, listening comprehension as well as grammar and pronunciation. I also offer exam preparation and Business German/English as well as proofreading essays, term papers, emails, letters and other kinds of texts.
I'm currently not offering lessons for children. Thank you for understanding.My teaching material

I was very nervous before the lesson since I didn't know anything, but Janine was very encouraging and patient. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Danke!
I'm already looking forward to our next lesson :D

I have lived in and struggled to learn German for over 15 years. I'll be honest, I was beginning to think I would never be able to speak and understand all the intricacies of the language, that is until Janine became my teacher.
She has taken me, where all others have failed, from barely being able to string a sentence together to building me up now where I feel confident in myself and confident speaking to her and others. She learns you how to actually SPEAK German. Learn by doing..... speaking!
Janine makes you feel both comfortable and supported in learning. Her explanations to difficult grammar questions are also simple to follow and she makes learning both easy and fun.
If Janine can learn me German, she can learn you too! I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thankyou for everything!

Sehr gut. Ich lerne viel über Deutsche Grammatik. Ich verstehe die Deutsche Satzstruktur besser. Janine ist Super. Sie erklärt die Thema einfacher. Vielen Dank. Bis bald.
