An FBI-inspired method to help you speak sooner I was born in Germany and moved to the United States when I was twenty. I have been teaching while pursuing my acting career in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Germany. I have taught adults and children from many backgrounds for more than 25 years. I teach German and English at all levels, and beginners in French and Japanese. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and structured. Students describe me as patient, positive, and easy to understand. I want you to feel safe speaking, making mistakes, and improving step by step. What makes my approach special is that I use language-learning principles inspired by how institutions such as the CIA and FBI train languages: quick recall, immediate sentence building, and active speaking from the beginning. The key is not just memorizing words, but using them instantly. We practice vocabulary through interval recall while forming real sentences, so your brain learns to retrieve the language naturally. I also use pictures for simple prompt-and-response conversations. This helps even beginners speak from the start: I show or describe something, ask guided questions, and help you answer in complete sentences. CANCELLATION POLICY I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Please use the italki system to reschedule or cancel lessons with more than 24 hours’ notice. Please do not request rescheduling within 24 hours. If you cannot attend, let me know and schedule a new lesson online. I appreciate you and value your time.

Binational (FR/DE) polyglot and certified teacher| 10 years of experience |14 000 lessons taught I’m 33, half French and half German, and a native speaker of both languages with dual citizenship. I developed a strong interest in American culture as a teenager, which led me to teach myself English to a native level, including accent, through constant exposure and conversation. This success inspired me to pursue other languages. I reached an intermediate level in Mandarin and an advanced level in Japanese and Korean after living in both countries for several years. Students value my ability to create engaging and natural conversations, my strong focus on active listening, my broad knowledge in a wide range of fields, and my very international background, especially for English-speaking and Asian learners. I’m fluent in five languages and bring extensive experience as both a learner and teacher, helping students feel confident at any level. I have completed two teaching certifications, CELTA and DAEFLE, which equipped me with effective teaching methods and practical classroom skills. My teaching approach emphasizes meaningful interaction and immersion. That means listening, reading, and speaking as much as possible, similar to how children learn their native language. I'm convinced that this is the most effective path to fluency. As your teacher, I will guide, motivate, and support you while making lessons enjoyable and engaging. My goal is to help you see language learning as a fun, rewarding, and enriching experience, not a chore. Note: I don’t teach students under 16

Please check out Udemy's English course Amber & Nikki's English conversations and test prep! Motivating language students online can be a difficult task since you don't get to meet them in person. In general, I don't believe it's effective to assign numerous grammar lessons. My lesson plan for the beginner to intermediate learners focuses on conversational Japanese, practicing repetition of sentences describing their daily lives in present or past tenses. This would build their vocabulary and grammatical skills in the process. Through my lessons, students have demonstrated to be more fluent and motivated.

Language is a bridge to freedom. こんにちは!Hi! I’m Candy, your language teacher on an exciting adventure through words and culture! My journey spans a PhD in Theoretical Physics, a decade in international business, and over ten years teaching languages. I specialize in Business English and Business Japanese, empowering professionals to express themselves clearly, confidently, and authentically in boardroom, email thread, or cross-cultural meeting. I believe that language isn’t just something you study, it’s also something you live. The best way to master a foreign language is to immerse yourself in it at every opportunity. The more you use it, the more it becomes part of you. Having friendly, relaxed conversations in your target language is one of the most effective (and enjoyable!) ways to improve. Whether you're aiming for the JLPT, polishing your accent, or craving conversational fluency, I’m here to make your language journey dynamic, practical, and fun! In class, I focus on speaking, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and listening practice - all tailored to your goals. I’m always happy to answer questions, provide suggestions and examples, and share extra learning resources so you can keep improving outside of class too.

Having climbed the “mountain of fluency” in two foreign languages, I know exactly how hard and frustrating the journey can be, but I also know how rewarding and satisfying finally making it to the top is. To me, wrapping your head around a completely new way of thinking that often comes with achieving fluency in a language is one of the best feelings I know, and I want to share it with you. As someone with a strong background in science, my specialty is scientific communication and technical writing. I also think my experience in grappling with abstract scientific concepts has taught me to explain grammatical concepts and semantic nuances in a concise and easily understandable way.
