Hallo! Ich heiße Ruth, komme ursprünglich aus Wien, aber lebe schon länger in Berlin. Mit Sprache zu arbeiten, ist meine Leidenschaft - ich unterrichte seit 2018 als ausgebildete Lehrerin Deutsch als Fremdsprache, sowohl in Gruppen- als auch Einzelunterricht und bin auch in der Filmbranche als Drehbuchautorin tätig. Hi! My name is Ruth, I'm originally from Austria, but I have been living in Berlin now for quite a while. I love to work with language - since 2018 I have been teaching German as a foreign language and have experience working with groups and individual students. Further to this, I also work as a professional screenplay writer.

Ruth is a fantastic person and an outstanding teacher who brings interesting topics matching your taste but lets you run wild with your thoughts if you're in flow. She is full of positivity and enthusiasm, while making you gently aware of your improvement areas. I highly recommend her.

Amazing ! Ruth was quickly able to see how much German I know (or rather how little !) and was very encouraging. I can thouroughly recommend Ruth !

I have reached a stage in my German learning where having a conversation in German is really important as it flags up vocabulary that I do not know and any grammar errors. Thus my lessons with Ruth have become very conversational in style and so unstructured. Ruth usually gives me written feedback and a few things to correct after my lesson, which is very helpful. For me, as a self-motivated, self-directed adult learner, Ruth's lessons are really enjoyable and promote further learning. My aim in learning German is to be able to have conversations with my German friends and other German speaking people that I meet so this way of learning is very suited to me.

Another excellent lesson, even though I was feeling a little unwell. We talked at length about a recent weekend away that I had had in Paris to play real/court tennis, which prompted discussion of some new vocabulary. We reviewed some feedback from my previous lesson that Ruth had sent me and then discussed some of the "goings on" in the USA, which again was a prompt to learn a few more words and practice getting my sentence structure right when speaking. I find the latter harder than when writing and must try harder!
