Hi, my name is Tobi, I'm from Germany and I'm a German teacher. If you would like to improve your German communication skills, be finally able to talk to your boss or mother in law or stop puzzling over Akkusativ and Dativ I would love to support you! Also, if you would like to dive deep into German literature or philosophy, I'm hoping to receive a message from you.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I see myself as a mediator: I want to help you focus on the important things while being able to answer all your questions.
I myself had a lot of bad language teachers (like, really bad) and I want to learn from their mistakes but also my own. So I'm always open to criticism, suggestions and your ideas.
My lessons & teaching style
Your lessons with me depend, of course, on what your goals are: Are you moving to Germany? Are you an ambitious traveller? Do you want to get to know German literature or philosophy? - I'm convinced that the key to master a language is communication. Even with grammar bugging you, it makes sense to see all rules and structures in a context of how you can use them. (But if you are a total grammar nerd, we can also just look at tables and vowel gradation lists - whatever you need to reach your goals!)

I have been taking lessons with Tobias for about two years, and I am so happy to have found him as a teacher! I can confidently converse in German, and I couldn’t have done it without his help, I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Man kann hier bleiben, weil man den besten Deutschlehrer gefunden hat! Tobias wird deinen Tag erhellen und deine Sprachkenntnisse verbessern! Wenn ich Freunde hätte, würde ich jedem Tobias empfehlen, statt muss ich dir erzählen.

Short as the trial session is (30 minutes), it was fantastic and I learned so much from Tobias! He gives you the chance to speak and provides timely feedback, and he speaks very clearly. I can only recommend him! I have signed up to his group classes, starting next week!
