About Me
italki teacher since Oct 22, 2020InterestsMedical & HealthcareEnvironment & NatureScienceTravelBusiness & Finance
Hi, I’m Carmen!
Originally I’m from Hannover, Germany. Since 2019 I’ve been living in a beautiful valley in Italy, located between the Alps and Lake Como. I feel fortunate to call this place home.
I have 4+ years of teaching experience on italki, with over 4,500 hours of lessons completed. I started as a community tutor, but since 2021 I'm a certified B2 and C1 Telc instructor, with also a solid background in the office sector from my previous career.
Beyond teaching, I’m passionate about staying active with sports like CrossFit, hiking, and cycling. I also enjoy going to music shows, collecting vinyl records, and caring for our sweet dog and cats.Me as a Teacher
Learning a new language as an adult comes with its challenges, and I’m here to support you through them. My approach is professional yet casual, providing a comfortable environment where you can learn at your own pace.
As a native German speaker, I’ll help you with clear pronunciation and a neutral "Standard German" accent, making it easier for you to communicate effectively. I’m also fluent in English and can assist you in Italian if needed, ensuring you feel at ease throughout our lessons.
During our sessions, my focus will be on encouraging you to speak as much German as possible. Together, we’ll work towards your language goals in a relaxed and productive way.My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I focus on creating a relaxed, yet engaging and effective learning environment tailored to your specific needs.
I offer grammar and conversation classes where you’ll have the chance to speak as much German as possible so that you’ll become more confident! I’ll provide easy-to-understand grammar explanations and I’ll gently guide you to sound natural and fluent.
For your and our lesson notes you’ll receive your personal Google Doc!
To keep the learning process dynamic, I provide homework assignments such as articles, videos, and exercises that are relevant to your goals. These resources help you continue learning outside of our lessons at your own pace.My teaching material

When I started studying with Carmen three years ago, my level was B2. Now I'm a happy owner of a C2 Goethe certificate (with 100 points for speaking). And I can't be grateful enough. Carmen always does everything perfectly, regarding not only the exam preparation but also the regular classes. Being a teacher myself, I can highly recommend her and call her a real professional!

I want to practice unplanned and spontaneous daily conversations in German, and Carmen has been an incredible help. She gave me hints when I didn’t know how to express myself and corrected my mistakes, which is exactly the kind of help I need for language learning. Today, we talked about many everyday topics like friends, and I’m so happy that I’m getting better at expressing myself in German. I’m looking forward to our next lesson!

Carmen has been accompanying me on my language journey for almost two years, providing invaluable support along the way. She is an outstanding teacher and conversation partner—organized, flexible, and always tailoring lessons perfectly to my needs. Thanks to her support, I successfully passed the C1 Goethe Prüfung!

I am focusing on improving my ability to improvise daily German conversations spontaneously and without a plan, and Carmen has greatly supported me. When I struggle to find the right word, she offers hints and corrects my mistakes, providing the support I need to learn the language. Highly recommended and I can't wait for my next class!
