About Me
italki teacher since Sep 30, 2020Interest topicArtTechMusic
I began teaching at the private Colegio Humboldt Caracas in Venezuela while working with musicians of Venezuela's ‚El Sistema‘. In addition to preparing students for their German Language Diplomas I & II (DSD I & II) and their Studienkollegs (University entrance exams), I was an examiner during the DSD I & II oral exams. Nowadays I work as a private German teacher and as translator & editor.Me as a Teacher
Understanding the makeup of the German language is very helpful – but it is the practical application of the rules that really leads to swift and lasting progress. My lessons are therefore designed around getting you to speak, read and write asap. I will help you to understand and work with German in ways that will quickly make you a more confident user of the language.
We will also make sure that you are speaking and writing well, not just correctly. Beauty and formal quality matter. If done in this way, learning German needn't be as difficult as you may imagine or have experienced in the past. It can – and should – be an enjoyable luxury that you are motivated to indulge in.My lessons & teaching style
Whether adding to your cultural knowledge, preparing for a test, or honing your language skills for work or everyday conversations, everything we do and use will be geared towards helping you to improve in ways adapted to your preferences and learning style. To that end, it will be beneficial if you have a clear idea what you want to achieve and/or of certain fields or topics you might like to learn more about. This will help me in preparing materials for our lessons.
To make pricing a non-issue when it comes to selecting the lengths of your lessons, I have priced all my lesson times equivalently. Simply choose whatever duration suits you best :)My teaching material

Für die Vorbereitung einer C2 Prüfung bin ich zu Daniel gekommen. Ich habe insgesamt sechs Unterrichte bei ihm gehabt, die sehr zielorientiert und höchst effizient waren. Ohne die Hinweise, die Daniel mir gegeben hat, hätte ich die Prüfung nicht bestehen können. Herzlichen Dank Daniel! Sehr empfehlenswert!
