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.

Julia Anna Kling
Goethe certificate in methodology and didactics: Trained teacher with over 8 years of experience I am very lucky because I love my profession. But passion alone is not enough to be a good teacher. You also need didactic, methodical and pedagogical skills. For this reason I decided to attend the distance learning course "DaF Methodik und Didaktik" at the Goethe Institute in June 2019. I successfully passed the final exam. I am convinced that teachers need to be constantly trained, too. So they are able to offer their students the best teaching performance.

✔ 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.

Native German teacher with Master's degree in German language (more than 8 years experience) I have 5 years of experience in teaching from beginners to advanced learners. First I was a classroom teacher in a primary school, but later I found that teaching one-on-one is both, more efficient for students and more interesting for the teacher. I am patient, friendly and reliable. You can book an informal tutoring lesson so I can get to know you better and understand what your strengths and weaknesses are, so I can make a personalized plan for you which fits your needs.

Making mistakes simply means you are learning faster. Da ich bereits in Kindheitstagen stets geschickt im Gebrauch mit meiner Muttersprache war und ich große Freude im Schreiben fand, empfahlen mir meine Lehrer wiederholt, nach Schulabschluss Deutschlehrer zu werden. Aus sportlichen Gründen entschied ich mich jedoch für einen anderen Studienweg. Hier in Viet Nam nun als Online-Tutor Studenten auf ihrem Weg zur Meisterung der deutschen Sprache zu begleiten, scheint mir die ideale Möglichkeit zu sein, dem Rat meiner Lehrer schlussendlich zu folgen. Der Gedanke, Menschen unabhängig ihrer Herkunft online unterrichten zu können, um Sie bei dem Erreichen ihrer Ziele zu unterstützen, bereitet mir jetzt schon Freude.
