Schön, dass du dich für meinen Unterricht interessierst!
Throughout the last years, I had the chance to travel to many different nations and enjoyed foreign cultures, their languages and food. I am passionate about literature, pottery and the oceans and everything that can be done outside and in nature.
Besides my interest for the foreign world, I am fascinated about it’s languages and decided to support people on their way to speaking a new language.
I lead each class with patience and a heartfelt interest for the person behind the screen. What I enjoy most about this work is the intercultural exchange and the possibility to get in contact to so many people with diverse stories.
Me as a Teacher
Several years of experience supporting students in private classes, teaching group classes and successfully preparing them for their Telc / Goethe exams and I am still loving it!
I am a teacher for DAF (German as a foreign language), certified by Goethe Institut, with an in-depth training of teaching methods and didactic validated materials.
It is this rewarding experience - of helping people to find their own way into the new language, to develop habits and methods and to create classes, that match these needs - that formed my decision to become a professional teacher.
I am lucky to have the resources to create these individual private classes.
My lessons & teaching style
As individual as you are.
We set the focus – depending on your priorities and your goals.
I work with various materials and Google Docs for writing tasks and vocabulary lists.
Miriam is a fantastic teacher - incredibly encouraging, fun, and thoughtful. She introduces new words seamlessly and uses materials effectively to showcase examples of certain grammar. I'm looking forward to continuing my German studies with her!

Miriam is an excellent teacher. Very easy to work with and goes above and beyond in ensuring the lessons are structured well, have great content and meet your particular needs. I had asked Miriam to help me prepare for the TELC exam and she couldn't have done more. Absolutely exceeded my expectations.
