Approachable, curious, genuine ... somewhat silly. 😌 Hey you! ✌️😄 I have over five years of teaching experience and 800+ lessons completed, and my students keep coming back. They often say it’s because I focus less on being overly “teacherly” and more on being human—real conversations and genuine connection. I live in Finland, run a small business, and study Psychology at the master’s level online. Outside the classroom, I lift weights, wrestle, read, write, and treat good food very seriously. Life has tested me more than once, which has made me approachable, grounded, and a genuinely good listener. My lessons aren’t heavy or intense, though—rather thoughtful, supportive, and full of humour (and the occasional glitch in the matrix 😄). I do not offer grammar lessons, and I work exclusively with fluent speakers. My lessons are laid back. I am good at listening, helping you find the right words, and I'll correct you if necessary. I will also type the words down in the chat if you find it useful. Session recordings are welcome.

Fun! That's the one attribute that's not listed for the teacher. Hans is enthusiastic and interested in my activities. He encourages me to tell me as much auf deutsch as I can, which is vital to actually learning the language. And we laugh a lot -- at the situations and at my mangling the language -- but he always makes me feel positive about how I am learning.

Hans is the best language tutor I have ever had. He speaks slowly to your level and gives you loads of opportunities to speak. The hour flys by!

Hans is a really great speaking partner. He has many interests, and is really interested in YOUR interests. Lots of topics to talk about, and sadly, the time goes by so fast! Recommend 100%.

It was so wunderbar to start learning again. As always, Hans was encouraging and helpful as I struggled to remember how deutsch zu sprache!
