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!)

Ich bin mit dem Deutschunterricht von Tobias sehr zufrieden. Er ist sehr professionell, super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Tobias bereitet immer ziemlich interessantes und herausforderndes Lernmaterial vor. Sein Deutsch ist deutlich und verständlich. Innerhalb von ein paar Stunden mit ihm ist es leichter für mich, Deutsch zu sprechen. Darum bin ich glücklich mit unserem Unterricht weiterzumachen. Ich empfehle Tobias als eine hochqualifizierte Lehrkraft für jedermann, der Deutsch lernen will.

Tobi ist ein sehr aufmerksamer und hilfsbereiter Lehrer. Er hilft mir meine tiefe Sprachenfehler zu korrigieren und erneuert die Grammatikregeln zu lernen. Außerdem kann ich mit ihn ein sinnvoller Gespräch führen.

This was a trial lesson. I really enjoyed meeting Tobias. We had a great conversation about my background and goals. I signed up for three classes right away!
