Me as a Teacher
My background is linguistics (Master of Arts) with many years of language teaching experience and an understanding of the structure of languages. In my final thesis I explored how cultural differences are manifested in languages and how they are mistakingly carried into target languages by learners.
I have worked as a language teacher on almost all levels (except with toddlers and children). I have taught groups and individuals at university and school level as well as in business environments. Many of my current clients are from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Furthermore, I love languages and constantly try new methods for my own language learning to put me in the shoes of the learner.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is goal-oriented and suited to individual needs.
My classes are well-prepared and structured with the freedom to adjust to your progress.
It is most important for me that you feel safe and free to make mistakes and at the same time experience a sense of achievement.
After defining your needs I make sure to help you achieve them through:
- A thorough analysis of your sticking points
- language teaching for your conversational or job-specific needs
- using authentic and grammar focused materials
- huge emphasis on your pronunciation and the application of relevant phrasesMy teaching material

I had 2 weeks to prepare to do the SDS exam aiming at an A2. I booked daily preparation classes with Manuel during those 2 weeks. After 2-3 classes I immediately felt I had progressed heavily. Manuel has a very good technique, is very efficient, engaged and always comes prepared and provides excellent materials via different online platforms. I have now done the exam and received my results. I obtained an A2 in the listening and speaking section and a B1 in the writing and reading comprehension. These results are even better than I expected! I would recommend anyone preparing for the SDS exam to book classes with Manuel.

Excellent interview perpetration lesson. Manuel took the time to review my CV and write personal questions as well as go though a list of frequent and difficult questions. Manuel covered not only the German language aspect of the interview, but also mindset and approach. Very much a coach as well as a teacher. Shortly after the lesson I received a word document with all of the questions we went through and also feedback from the lesson. I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of the lesson. Highly recommended.

Manuel is helping my "move abroad" plans move forward, whereas, by myself, I would still be stuck in the mud. He helps me improve my German while also supporting my efforts to find a job in Germany. He has great resources for language learning, job prep, job searches, and interview preparation. I highly recommend booking with him.

Manuel is a truly outstanding tutor: knowledgeable, prepared and professional. What I appreciate the most, however, is his compassionate approach. Manuel always seems to know when I need correction, when encouragement, when reassurance. In my experience, that's a rare gift! I can't recommend him enough.

AMAZING! TOLL! He was able to help me last minute to prepare for my b1 exam. I can't thank him and his work enough, what I learnt and improved on in 5 lessons is incredible and I feel so much more confident. The resources and platform were amazing to use, and top notch communication. I think I will carry on improving my German with Manuel as I enjoyed my lessons so much. Really great person and teacher. thank you again so much!

Manuel is a fantastic teacher who truly goes above and beyond. I started working with him just three weeks before my FIDE test, and from our first lesson, he showed real dedication. He took the time to understand my goals and prepared a wide range of customized materials for me—covering listening, speaking, and writing skills.
He didn’t just teach during class—he also reviewed and corrected my homework afterward, giving thoughtful feedback. He’s always patient, encouraging, and thorough. Manuel pays close attention to the areas I struggle with, keeps track of my mistakes, and makes sure I consistently practice them in every lesson.
If you’re looking for someone to help you prepare for an exam, I highly recommend Manuel. He’s knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in his students’ success.
