About Me

Hi! I’m Martina – a native German & Italian tutor. I blend psychology, acting techniques, and 12+ years of teaching to make lessons engaging and effective. 🧠🎭
As a former researcher, university teaching assistant, psychologist and acting student, I specialize in helping learners overcome mental blocks and speak with confidence. Whether you’re preparing for exams, work, or just love languages, I’ll tailor sessions to your goals. I love talking about film, theater, science, culture...

😊Me as a Teacher
I bring curiosity, openness, and flexibility to every lesson – always aiming to tailor our sessions to your unique goals and learning style.
My approach is student-centered: when you're motivated from within, that's when real progress happens – and I'm here to support that journey every step of the way.
Whether you're looking to boost your conversational skills, dive into specific grammar points, or refine your communication for real-world use, I’ll adapt each session to make sure it’s both effective and engaging.My lessons & teaching style
Each lesson is tailored to your goals and learning pace. We begin by assessing your level, language background, and preferred learning methods to create a clear, effective roadmap.
I use Italki Plus or a shared Google Doc to track our progress, grammar points, vocabulary, and exercises.
With a mix of structured materials and proven resources, lessons stay flexible and focused on what matters most to you – whether it’s conversation, grammar, or business communication.
To keep lessons relevant and engaging, I include real-life content like articles, cultural topics, and books. Sessions are structured, yet always adaptable to your needs. 🔄My teaching material

I really enjoy our lessons with Martina! She is very smart, motivating and supportive. I never feel embarrassed of making mistakes at our lessons, and it's very important when you're looking for a good teacher. Thank you Martina! I'll definitely keep having more and more lessons.

I have an intermediate level in Italian and I am interested in improving my “conversational skills”. For me a good teacher is a teacher who can have a good conversation on a subject of interest (to me obviously). Well… that is the case with Martina. She is a Master’s student in Psychology, who speaks 4 languages (German, Italian natively, English, Portuguese, really well). We spoke for an hour about diverse subjects. She is engaging, smart, funny. I’m almost tempted to learn some German with her…. (Just kidding. Perhaps in a few years). Grazie mille Martina.

Die Probestunde war sehr angenehm – ich war zwar anfangs ziemlich aufgeregt, aber Martina hat mit ihrer ruhigen, geduldigen und hilfsbereiten Art sofort für eine entspannte Atmosphäre gesorgt. Ich bin wirklich begeistert und freue mich auf mehr!
