About Me
italki teacher since Jul 17, 2020
My name is Armin and I come from the beautiful city of Hamburg - the Venice of Germany. I am certified in teaching both Chinese and English as a foreign language, and have profound experience in private tutoring as well as teaching formal classes with as many as 40 students. I teach children as well as adults, therefore I am more than qualified to assist you on this exciting journey called language learning. As a PhD student, I naturally read a lot - mostly about things related to business and AI and would be very happy to talk about these topics. In my free time, I like to educate myself, work out and enjoy discovering new cuisine. I'm a fan of linguistics too, currently learning Japanese.
Me as a Teacher
Do you want to express yourself better in conversation and sound more authentic in German? I have more than 7 years of teaching experience and love everything about it! As a polyglot who has mastered multiple languages myself from scratch, I know exactly how to get you speaking.
However, even though I can speak multiple languages, during my classes I will use the target language, that is the language that you want to acquire, as much as possible. Obviously, if your level allows it, classes will be conducted entirely in the target language.
My lessons & teaching style
I believe that teachers do not have to be serious (i.e., humorless) to be effective. Obviously, humor doesn't cause learning by itself, but laughing along with students; and using relevant, interesting and light-hearted personal examples to highlight important points creates conditions to help it along. Thus, I hope that you not only learn a lot in my classes, but also have fun while doing so. Based on an assessment of current ability combined with the learner’s personal aims, each lesson has a specific objective.

Armin is a patient and skillful teacher. He is a absolutely good teacher for those who would need to master German in a short period of time. His instructions are easy to follow. Together with the abundant learning materials he provides, you can always find German fun and easy to learn! We are lucky to have found Armin as our teachers. His proficiency in Mandarin and Cantonese greatly facilitates people like us, who speak these languages as their mother tongues. Thanks a lot, Armin!

My daughter and I have been taking lessons with Armin for almost 2 and thanks to him, I have noticed my daughter is more expressive with the German language. She isn't stumbling on words as much, she's speaking in complete sentences, and she doesn't see these lessons as another task but as a fun class with a friend while learning.
I have not only noticed an improvement in my vocabulary but also the speed in my reading. I am reading a lot faster and it has allowed me to focus more on the material, especially when he quizzes me.
I am beyond grateful for these lessons. I actually feel like I'm going to be fully prepared for my trip to Germany in Dec. Thank you so much, Armin. See you in our next lesson!

Yet another productive lesson with Armin. His acute knowledge of international and current affairs allows us to dwelve into interesting conversations while improving my german. Again, his professionalism, good mood and preparation allows for a smooth learning experience, wether it be through our exercise books, his self-made exercices or conversation.

I have been having two German classes per week for the past eight months, and I can definitely say that he is a GREAT teacher! His teaching materials are really good, and he makes me practice speaking a ton during our classes. On top of that, he is a very nice person to be around, so we have lots of fun each time we have class! I cannot recommend him more, give it a try and you will understand what I mean!
