Hallo! I’m Mirjam—a German tutor with a twist! 🇩🇪✨ Living in Japan and fluent in 3 languages (plus dabbling in Turkish!), I blend multicultural insights into teaching German. My secret? Turning lessons into lively chats about art, travel, or your favourite topics—no outdated textbooks! Let’s make learning feel like exploring a museum: inspiring, personal, and full of ‘Aha!’ moments.Me as a Teacher
I believe in positive encouragement rather than harsh and strict learning methods! Language is a beautiful tool to speak to different people all over the world. Therefore it should be fun. If you enjoy doing something it is most likely that you will stick to the habit of practicing it. I just experienced it myself. When I learned Japanese I had a very kind teacher and thanks to his funny and encouraging teaching I fell in love with the language. Now, a few years later, I am fluent in Japanese.My lessons & teaching style
I believe in learning by speaking because it is the most natural way of learning a language. Little children learn the same way. Learning organically means learning a "natural" and contemporary German and not a language that is written in a textbook which might be outdated.
Regarding my classes:
First, we will set a goal and then work together towards it.
After learning some basic vocabulary we will slowly build up your vocabulary by speaking about different topics you are interested in. As I said before: I believe in learning a language the fun way.
From time to time I will also give you some PDFs for revision.My teaching material

先生には、B2レベルから大学入学までの長い間、大変お世話になりました。
面接練習など、無理なお願いをしてしまうこともありましたが、いつもできる限り対応してくださいました。
スピーキングが苦手だった私のために、進路に合った興味深い記事を探し、それをもとに議論するスタイルで授業を進めてくださいました。
そのおかげで、ドイツ語のスキルを伸ばせただけでなく、ドイツ社会についても深く学ぶことができました。
また、私が言葉に詰まったときも辛抱強く待ってくださり、聞き取れなかった際には、テキストで示して理解を助けてくださいました。
これまで本当にありがとうございました。

Mirjam hat mich über eine lange Zeit hinweg vom B2-Niveau bis zur Immatrikulation an einer Universität unterrichtet. Ich habe sie manchmal mit ungewöhnlichen Bitten herausgefordert, zum Beispiel, für Vorstellungsgespräche zu üben, aber sie hat meinen Wunsch so gut wie möglich erfüllt.
Da ich Schwierigkeiten mit dem Sprechen hatte, hat sie immer wieder interessante Artikel zu meinen Studienplänen herausgesucht, über die wir dann diskutiert haben.
Das hat mir nicht nur geholfen, mein Deutsch zu verbessern, sondern auch die deutsche Gesellschaft besser zu verstehen.
Auch wenn ich ins Stocken geraten bin, hat sie geduldig gewartet, und wenn ich etwas nicht verstanden habe, hat sie mir die Wörter oder Redemittel per Text gezeigt.
Vielen Dank für alles, Mirjam!
