Certified linguist (MA) helps with test & interview preparation, Business and Medical German My background is linguistics (Master of Arts) with many years of language teaching experience and an understanding of the structure of languages. In my final thesis I explored how cultural differences are manifested in languages and how they are mistakingly carried into target languages by learners. I have worked as a language teacher on almost all levels (except with toddlers and children). I have taught groups and individuals at university and school level as well as in business environments. Many of my current clients are from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Furthermore, I love languages and constantly try new methods for my own language learning to put me in the shoes of the learner.

Friendly and patient experienced teacher * 친절한 프로 * 말하기 편안 I believe I can call myself an experienced teacher, as teaching German as a foreign language has been my full time occupation since 2016, and I have gathered experience in many different areas of the job (offline & online|all levels A1-C1|groups & 1:1|textbook, conversation & test prep Goethe/telc/TestDaF|language learning content development). I speak with a clear pronunciation, without accent, and in a way that is appropriate for your level. My strongest suits as a teacher probably are the fact that I can make you feel relaxed and comfortable in class, and my linguistic interest and ability to explain complex things in a very easy way.

I have taught German and English in several different circumstances. During my early internships in China I organized basic German and business level English trainings. In the German Chamber of Commerce, I was also involved in editing a yearly bi-language training brochure for special trainings in Shanghai. But I also taught English and German for a year in kindergarten, where I focused on fun in acquiring a new language. In Germany I mainly taught German privately, mainly focusing on the Testdaf-exam but also the German high school-diploma Abitur. Occasionally, I also prepared students for the TOEFL-Exam.

Frequently asked questions

What is the TestDaF exam?

The TestDaF (Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache) is an advanced-level German language proficiency exam designed for non-native speakers who wish to study at German universities or need proof of language proficiency for academic and professional purposes. The exam assesses four key language skills: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, written expression, and oral expression.

TestDaF is recognized by all German universities and is often required for admission into higher education programs. It is scored at three levels: TDN 3, TDN 4, and TDN 5, with TDN 4 generally being the minimum requirement for most university courses. The exam is designed to reflect real-life language use in academic contexts, making it a critical step for students and professionals planning to study or work in Germany.

What level of German do I need to prepare for the TestDaF?

To prepare for the TestDaF exam, you should have a German proficiency level of at least B2 to C1 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). A B2 level indicates that you have an intermediate understanding of German, which is necessary to start focusing on the advanced language skills required for the TestDaF.

Having a C1 level or working toward it is ideal, as it reflects a higher degree of fluency and comprehension, better preparing you for the exam’s academic context. The TestDaF evaluates your ability to understand complex texts, engage in detailed discussions, and express your ideas clearly in writing, so having a solid foundation in German grammar, vocabulary, and communication is essential for effective preparation.

How long should I study for the TestDaF?

The amount of time you should study for the TestDaF depends on your current German proficiency and your target score. On average, students with an intermediate level (B2) might need three to six months of dedicated preparation to reach the C1 level required to perform well on the exam. This preparation period includes structured lessons, consistent practice, and self-study.

If your proficiency is lower (A2 or early B1), you may need additional time to build up your language foundation before focusing on exam-specific strategies. Regular lessons with a qualified tutor and comprehensive study plans can significantly enhance your progress. During this time, you should engage in activities that develop all four tested skills: reading, listening, writing, and speaking.

To maximize your study efforts, set a consistent schedule and incorporate practice exams to familiarize yourself with the test format and time constraints. This targeted approach will help ensure you are thoroughly prepared for each section of the TestDaF.

Can I take TestDaF lessons if I only want to improve my speaking skills?

Yes, you can absolutely take TestDaF lessons focused solely on improving your speaking skills. TestDaF tutors on italki offer personalized lessons tailored to your individual needs, so if speaking is your primary concern, they can help you strengthen this area. During speaking-focused lessons, your tutor will provide conversation practice, exam-style speaking prompts, and feedback on pronunciation, fluency, and accuracy. They’ll also guide you in developing strategies to respond confidently and clearly to typical TestDaF speaking tasks.

By concentrating on speaking, you can enhance your ability to discuss various topics, present arguments, and engage in structured dialogues, which are essential skills for the TestDaF.

Are online TestDaF lessons as effective as traditional in-person classes?

Yes, online TestDaF lessons can be just as effective as traditional in-person classes. With digital tools and interactive platforms, online lessons offer the same high-quality instruction, allowing you to work closely with your tutor on TestDaF-specific skills like reading, listening, writing, and speaking. Tutors can share study materials, administer practice tests, and provide real-time feedback, ensuring you’re fully engaged in each lesson.

Online lessons also provide flexibility, letting you choose a tutor who fits your schedule and learning style, regardless of location. This personalized approach makes online TestDaF preparation convenient, accessible, and highly effective for achieving your goals.
