Hi, my name is Verena and I have been teaching German to students from all over the world for the last five years! Besides tailor-made language courses from levels A1 to C1, I also offer test preparation for TestDAF, Goethe-Zertifikat and TELC. I am based in Thailand, but used to live in London and Berlin, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in linguistics and communication sciences.
Apart from languages (currently trying to learn Spanish!) and meeting new people, scuba diving and travelling are my biggest passions. I am an avid reader, amateur chef and baker and a self proclaimed coffee addict.Me as a Teacher
Are you a bit nervous about booking an online class? Don't be! In my classes I try to put my students at ease, so they feel comfortable and relaxed. For me, every student is special and I prepare every lesson based on their individual needs and goals. I also pride myself on my listening skills and put a lot of work into my students’ confidence to speak. Because in my experience, if you really want to learn a new language, you have to speak it as much as possible!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailor-made for my students: some like structured lessons with textbooks and grammar exercises, while others prefer something more easy-going. It's up to you!
If you book a class with me, you can expect:
✔ A calm and fun atmosphere where you can feel relaxed
✔ Interesting conversations where I will actively correct your mistakes
✔ Lots of useful materials and exercises to keep you engaged
✔ Many useful tips based on your needs and learning goals
✔ A list of all the new words you have learned after each lesson
✔ Fast replies to messages in between your sessionsMy teaching material

italki - italki - 2022Dear Sir/Madam,
I have been teaching test preparation for German language exams for the last three years on italki. In total I have taught 181 lessons for test preparation (see screen shot attached) and my reviews have consitantly been 5 stars. There is no easily obtainable certificate for teaching test preparation for the German language, so I hope my experience on italki will suffice for the upgrade.
Thanks and kind regards,
Verena

Another great lesson with Verena, I have been studying with her for some time now and each time I'm very excited for the next lesson. I like how she corrects me and I make sure not to repeat the same mistakes. Learning with Verena is very easy and always fun, we always have a lot to talk about and one hour with her flies way too fast. I also like the materials she is using for studying, the books are very well structured and help not only with speaking and reading, but also with grammar and vocabulary.

I went through a couple of low standard teachers before I started lessons with Verena. I'm so glad I found her. The lessons are always engaging and catered to my needs. With Verena's help I'm finally getting my head around topics that I've struggled with for years. Highly recommend.

Studying with Verena is always engaging - we never run out of things to discuss, and the time just flies by. I also enjoy the study materials she uses; the books are well-structured and support not just speaking and reading, but also grammar and vocabulary development.

Verena is fantastic. Right from the start she puts you at ease, which is, in my opinion, one of the most important things when you approach a language. Her lessons are easy to follow and full of material for practicing grammar and speech. What are you waiting for? Book a lesson with her and check it out for yourself !!

Verena war sehr freundlich, mit klarer Aussprache. Gut fand ich, dass sie Fehler gleich korrigiert, damit sie sich nicht einschleifen. Außerdem hat sie gute Tipps zur Deutschprüfung gegeben.
