Hi and welcome on my profile. My name is Tilly and I'm a native German speaker from Berlin, now living in Yokohama.
I started my learning journey with Japanese as an adult. And it's quite challenging, even after decades living in the country.
My lessons are well structured and focused on your goals. But most and foremost it should be fun! I will teach you not only German words and grammar. You will enjoy the relaxed learning environment I create.
Looking forward to see you.

Me as a Teacher
+++ Authentisch, zugewandt und mit viel Empathie +++
I teach German for beginners, intermediate and advanced learners. Whatever level you are, don't worry. My lessons are focused on conversation so that students have a chance to interact through verbal communication and participate in the learning of a new language. I want you to have fun in our class. Let's talk about culture, society, sight seeing spots, etc. … what are your interests?
Areas I can help with:
- General German (listening, reading, writing, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary)
- Academic writing (essays, reports, dissertation and thesis writing) and proofreading
- Conversational skills
- Pronunciation
My lessons & teaching style
What are your needs? What is your goal? I will give my best to pick you up, work with you on your indivudual speed and abilities. I will give you a feeling of the process, of your improvement. Having fun is important for sustainable language acquisition - for adult learners, too.
During my lessons, please, do not feel unconvinient making mistakes. I am here for correcting you, explaining, showing you new ways of learning German. We can work on topics, on situations, doing presentions, prepare interviews, work with stories or articles, using music etc.
Let's get started!
Enjoy the challenge and the journey.
Tilly

I had an incredible experience with Tilly! She was so kind, helpful, and of course a great teacher! I spent so much time on italki before I found Tilly - looking at many tutors' intro videos, and I can honestly say Tilly is the best choice I could have made for learning German! The lessons are customized, effective, engaging, and she is really easy to talk to. Tilly makes you feel comfortable and motivated. You always finish the lesson feeling like you've learned something new, become aware of what you need to improve on, and excited for the next lesson!
