Ambitious and immersive learning, adjusted for your way of learning :) You can expect an attentive teacher, who will carefully listen to you and provide you with helpful feedback and advice. All this feedback and new concepts/words/expressions learned I will write down for you in a Google Doc. I am always genuinely interested in my student's topics and therefore I know that we will find a common ground on which we can conduct our productive lessons. In general, I am a teacher who can talk about anything and use every moment as an example for teaching purposes. Last but not least you can expect a teacher with a high command of the German language and an ample repertoire of speech expressions. contact me for more: [email protected] or Skype (same email)

Energetic, fun and REAL CONVERSATION classes with a motivated teacher 🗣️🇩🇪 I am a teacher but first and foremost I am also a forever student. Through my work as an Aupair in which I practised German with Kids aged 6 to 10 and through my language studies at University I learned that you can only teach others if you are also willing to learn and consistently drive to better your own skills. From learning many foreign languages myself I have developed my own personal hacks and tips on how to most effectively learn a new language. I accept lesson cancellations or reschedules with less than 24 hours in advance. However, this depends on my current lesson demand and schedule therefore I will decide on that for each individual case.

Do you want to express yourself better in conversation and sound more authentic in German? I specialize in helping you to improve your speaking and pronunciation of German based on special exercises I design specifically for YOUR native language background (i.e. German for Chinese speakers, German for Spanish speakers, etc). My particular area of expertise is in phonetics and phonology, so I can help you to master the difficult sounds of German so that you feel more confident when you are speaking. However, I can help you with any aspect of your German that you would like to improve, including preparing you to take formal examinations like the DSH, the TestDaF and the Goethe Institut exams.

Arzt mit Deutsch Niveau C2 und 5 Jahren Unterrichtserfahrung inkl. FSP-Vorbereitung I have been teaching German and Russian since 4 years and have already given over 2,5 thousand hours classes:) I have been teaching on-line as in private schools, so far students enjoy my lessons and me either:) I also do speak French and Spanish on the level, that is enough to be able to explain lessons using them. Ich habe schon insgesamt über 7000 Deutsch- und Russischstunden durch Italki und andere Plattformen gegeben. Meistens erfolgt der Unterricht für Anfänger auf Russisch oder Englisch, mit fortgeschrittenen Studenten sprechen wir aber die ganze Zeit nur auf Deutsch. Den Stoff kann ich auch auf Spanisch und Französisch erklären, wenn Sie das wünschen würden:)

My goal as a teacher is that you get the most out of the class. How do I want to achieve that? 1) Create a comfortable atmosphere: You have to be relaxed and feel comfortable in order to learn. I will try to create a very comfortable atmosphere so you can concentrate on the lesson. 2) Teaching a fun class: The class should be fun and interesting, that’s when we get the best results. I would love to know about topics that interest you and consider them in my preparation of the class. 3) Speak as much German as possible: You have to get used to the structure, the sound and the rhythm of the language. That's why I want to encourage you that we speak as much German as possible during the class.

ADULTS all levels welcome! Whatever you need, I'll help you. My role as a teacher is to be a guide and facilitator in the learning process. The student-teacher relationship works best when there is mutual respect, trust and sympathy. Therefore, feedback, questions and ideas are always welcome. I also very much enjoy learning new things from my students about their culture, their "view of the world" and their expertise and experience . For me, this is a dream job. Multicultural encounters with a clear goal (German language) and space for learning more than just a language.

⭐⭐⭐BEST GERMAN TEACHER ON ITALKI⭐⭐⭐ MY 4-STEP APPROACH IS UNBEATABLE ON ITALKI. In A2–C2 lessons, we have free conversations, often with pictures. You speak a lot while I type your mistakes and share my screen. Systematic errors? I explain the grammar clearly. You get vocabulary lists (before the lesson), corrections, notes, and a matching reading text (after the lesson). For A1 and absolute beginners, I use a different system with a textbook as structure and inspiration. The lessons stay practical and communicative, so you start speaking from day one. No time is wasted – you learn effectively and make fast progress. 😊 >Targeted preparation for the FSP with simulated anamnesis interviews

Learn English or German with the support of an experienced professional teacher and language coach. I'm from the beautiful city of Sydney, Australia. My native language is English, which I speak with a standard Australian accent, and I also speak German fluently. I am an extremely experienced teacher, as I spent 20 years teaching mathematics before shifting my focus to language education. I teach both English and German here on italki. I also offer general language and life coaching services, plus mathematics lessons for high school students. I am an active language learner myself, so I have an excellent understanding of the typical challenges when learning languages and how best to overcome them. Please note: I only teach adults and teenagers, not young children (minimum age 12)

Why italki is the best choice for German conversation practice?

italki is an excellent choice for German conversation practice because it offers personalized, flexible, and accessible learning. The platform connects you with native speakers and fluent tutors, allowing you to engage in real-life conversations tailored to your learning goals, whether it’s improving fluency, preparing for exams, or mastering business German.

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced learner, italki offers a dynamic and supportive environment for improving your German speaking skills.

How much does it cost to take German lessons on italki?

The cost of taking German lessons on italki varies depending on the tutor you choose, their experience, and lesson length. On average, prices range from $10 to $50 per lesson. You can find both professional teachers and community tutors, with the former generally charging higher rates due to their qualifications and experience. Many tutors offer trial lessons at a discounted price, allowing you to assess their teaching style before committing to a regular schedule. To find the best fit for your budget and learning goals, you can browse tutor profiles, read reviews, and choose a lesson package that suits you.

How often should I take German lessons on italki?

The frequency of your German lessons on italki depends on your personal goals, schedule, and learning style. If you are looking for rapid progress, it’s ideal to take lessons 2-3 times a week. This frequency helps maintain consistency and reinforces learning. However, if you’re learning casually or have a busy schedule, taking one lesson a week can still be effective.

For beginners, more frequent lessons can help build a solid foundation, while advanced learners may focus on specific areas like conversation or grammar on a less frequent basis. Ultimately, regular lessons will help you stay engaged and motivated, but it’s important to find a pace that works for you.

Are the German teachers on italki certified or qualified to teach?

Many German teachers on italki are certified or qualified to teach, but the level of certification and qualifications can vary depending on the tutor. Some teachers have formal qualifications, such as a degree in German language or education, or specific certifications like the Goethe-Institut’s teaching qualifications. Others may have extensive experience in teaching German as a second language, even without formal certifications.

When choosing a German teacher, it’s important to review their profile to see their qualifications, experience, and teaching approach. Many tutors provide a brief introduction video, which can help you assess their teaching style and whether it aligns with your learning goals. You can also look at student reviews and ratings to gauge their effectiveness.
