✔ Take your German to the next Level I’ve started private teaching in 2014. I have no accent, and I teach in standard German. In the beginning I taught people from East Asia, but today my students are coming from all over the world. I'm particularly interested in languages like Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Right now I'm trying to master Japanese. Understanding how these languages are structured gives me the opportunity to teach you German in a more understandable way. In addition, I can help you, to pass the TestDaF, which is the general German language test for foreigners, who want to start studying at a German University. I've also experience in preparing students for the DSH language test and the Goethe-Zertifikat.

ANA POLYGLOT ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐Premium German coaching: clear strategy, direct feedback, measurable results.⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ I’m a university-trained teacher (MA German Studies, MA Media Studies, pedagogy certification) — not a community tutor. I taught at the University of Hamburg and have worked with learners from all continents. My style: clear grammar in plain language, structured lessons, measurable progress and a lot of speaking. My teaching is based on integrity: I’m kind, but honest. You get clear, direct feedback so you really improve – not just hear “everything is fine”. If you want German that finally makes sense, exam success, or confident daily communication, you’re in the right place. If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.

Laura Hauser
Native Speaker – Personalized Lessons, Fun Learning with Creative Materials, Grammar & Test Prep! In Germany, I studied Art, Theater and Biology to become a teacher for high school students in these subjects. While living in Germany, I worked at different schools and I happened to teach more than what I studied for. For example, I gained experience as a German teacher for children with migration background and was head of class at a Montessori School. All wonderful experiences. I always tried to find suitable teaching methods for the different types of learning and individual needs to achieve the learning goals with the students together. And I'm always happy to learn more myself, too.

Krisztina
Hungarian: citizenship interview preparation/general teaching, German: grammar/communication/exams I am an open-minded and curious teacher who is eager to learn as much as possible about people and the world. This means that I will be genuinely interested in whatever interests you! :) For me, communication is key when learning a language, so I will encourage you to speak as much as possible - if that is what you want. If you'd rather focus on grammar, listening, or anything else, of course, we can do that. In our first meeting, we’ll discuss your goals, and we will work towards them. In my video, I describe in detail how I teach. However, I am quite flexible regarding my teaching style, so if you think that another approach would benefit you more, I'm open to other methods as well!

Lea K.
As your tutor I will help you: 1. to feel comfortable in everyday conversations in German. 2. to maintain motivation and to enjoy the process of acquiring a new language. 3. to become "your own best teacher" so you can make the most of learning on your own. I see value in a lot of different methods of language learning. However, the best method is useless if you lose motivation halfway, and even with a less efficient method you can be successful in learning a language if you have fun doing it. That is why I am convinced that maintaining passion and motivation should be on top of our priority list.

Jürgen
*8 years of teaching experience*personalized & fun lessons*TEST-Prep for language institutes and FSP Ich verfolge als Tutor in italki in jedem Unterricht 3 Ziele. Zunächst möchte ich eine angenehme und lockere Lernatmosphäre schaffen, in der du ungehemmt Fragen stellen, Ideen und Argumente teilen, und natürlich auch Fehler machen kannst, um in der Konversation ähnlich wie Wasser in einem Fluss frei und ohne Barrieren fließen zu können. Ich möchte außerdem deine Ziele möglichst genau erfassen, denn so kann ich einen individualisierten Lernplan erstellen. Lückenhaftes Wissen in Wortschatz und Grammatik nimmt dir viel Bewegungsfreiheit in der Konversation, ich werde diese Lücken aufspüren, danach wirst du sie mit meiner Unterstützung füllen und so deine Kenntnisse verbessern.

Matthias
Native German teacher, 9+ years of experience in the areas pronunciation, test preparation/ business ✔ If you are beginner, we will start with pronunciation first and then build grammar from there - that is the only way to sound native-like and avoid mistakes in the long run! ✔ If you are intermediate, I'll also give you a basic understanding of the German sounds to increase your awareness, with a special focus on the sounds you don't have in your native language ("sound gaps"). ✔ Throughout my lessons, I like to refer back to the individual sounds /aka "building blocks" of the German language - this has lead to great results for many of my students! ✔ I like you to find and correct your own (pronunciation) mistakes before I correct you (silent way approach)

Thailand based native speaker teaching German from beginner to advanced, including test preparation. Are you a bit nervous about booking an online class? Don't be!

Simon
Native German teacher/translator specialized in business German for busy professionals in GER/CHE ✔ I'm an expert for students from an upper beginner to an advanced level (A2-C2) ✔ You'll receive a detailed feedback and homework after every lesson ✔ You'll get a list with every mistake you made during the lesson in a Google Document ✔ I start with pronunciation first - my main goal is to help you to just sound "good" to a German's ears. ✔ Once your pronunciation is on point, the rest (grammar, writing..) comes automatically! ✔ I would like you to find and correct your own (pronunciation) mistakes before I correct you ✔ That way you can avoid repeating the same mistake and your German becomes automatic ✔ That's the "Silent Way Approach": Book a lesson with me and try it out!

Stefanie
Goethe zertifizierte Muttersprachlerin mit Freude am Unterrichten Als Lehrerin achte ich darauf, dass du viel Zeit zum Sprechen und für deine Fragen hast. Wiederholst du einen Fehler öfter, korrigiere ich dich und erkläre dir, wie es richtig ist. Grammatik erkläre ich einfach und anschaulich, oft auch mit Vergleichen zu anderen Sprachen. So wird die Grammatik verständlicher und greifbarer. Ich richte mich ganz nach deinen Zielen, damit du sicher und selbstbewusst lernst. Ich unterrichte NUR Erwachsene (18+), KEINE Kinder oder Jugendliche. // I only teach adults. I don't teach kids nor teenagers.

Anna Sehal
Professional University Teacher with a PhD and 16+years teaching experience My teaching experience comprises 16 years: university tutor and a private language trainer one-on-one and in-group classes. I taught around 1000 students worldwide and helped them pass international exams, be more confident in speaking, get ready to write an essay or gain linguistic skills, and succeed in academic studies. I'm passionate about my profession, love it immensely, and devote myself to what I do helping my students master their language skills. I'm always in search of the most efficient methods, techniques, and ways to make it better for my students, so I'm sure the best way you can teach someone is when you don't give up learning yourself all the time.
