*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.

✔ 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.

Certified German Teacher: 15+ Years of Inspiring Language Journeys I’m Ivo, a Swiss German teacher, trained educator, and PhD researcher in Linguistics. I help learners understand German clearly, speak more naturally, and build study habits that actually work. I have a degree in Education from Switzerland, a Master’s in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, and many years of experience teaching languages in classrooms and online. Because I’ve also spent much of my adult life learning languages myself, I know how challenging German can feel, and how important clear explanations, good practice, and realistic goals are. My lessons combine structure and communication. We can work on conversation, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, exam preparation, everyday German, or German for life in Switzerland or another German-speaking country. I usually teach mostly in German, but I can switch to English or Chinese whenever it helps. What makes my lessons different is the combination of teaching experience, linguistic knowledge, and practical learning strategy. I don’t just correct mistakes; I help you understand why they happen and how to improve step by step. I can also show you how to review vocabulary efficiently, use flashcards well, and create learning habits outside class. Whether you want structured lessons, natural conversation practice, or a mix of both, I’ll adapt the class to your level, goals, and interests. My aim is to make German challenging, enjoyable, and genuinely useful. 📅 I update my availability every Monday, GMT+7.
