About Me
italki teacher since Aug 4, 2020
Hiya! My name is Rina. :)
I am a native German speaker and fell in love with languages back in school, where I learned French and English — and absolutely loved both! Later at university, I started learning Portuguese from scratch and focused a lot on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, which gave me a deeper understanding of how languages work.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics and Cultural Studies with a major in Translation, and I studied Applied Linguistics at the Master's level with a focus on Language Teaching.
I also create easy stories and small learning materials for German learners in my daily work. It’s something I really enjoy doing alongside teaching.
Me as a Teacher
I teach levels A2* to C1 and welcome students of all ages — from 18 to 99+. My aim is to support you in developing your language skills, building confidence, and expressing yourself more naturally in everyday situations.
Whether you want to strengthen the basics or work on more advanced German, I’m happy to guide you at your own pace and help you reach the goals that matter to you.
I’m looking forward to meeting you and getting to know your learning style. :)
Please note:
*If you’re a beginner (A2), you should be able to hold a simple basic conversation in German.
** I don’t teach children or teenagers.
My lessons & teaching style
I use a communicative and relaxed approach, with a strong focus on speaking. We can read short texts, talk about articles or videos, or simply have natural conversations about everyday topics.
I’m happy to support you with your CV, job applications and interview practice, and I can also help you prepare for TELC or Goethe exams in a calm and structured way.
During our lessons, I will correct your mistakes in the chat box, suggest synonyms and natural expressions, and recommend helpful phrases that can make your German feel more fluent and comfortable.
If you ever have questions or need help with something specific, feel free to ask at any time.
See you in class! :)
