Hi! I'm Noelle, an Austrian-American native German speaker with a Bachelor's degree in German Philology and a passion for languages. Besides German and English, I've also studied French, Spanish, Italian, and Russian. As someone who has learned multiple languages myself, I understand the challenges, frustrations, and rewarding moments that come with the process. My lessons focus on real conversations in a relaxed and supportive environment. While grammar and vocabulary are important, I believe speaking is the key to becoming fluent—and it's often the skill that's missing in traditional language learning. My goal is to help you build confidence, speak naturally, and enjoy using German in real-life situations. Whether you're learning German for work, travel, university, or simply for fun, I'll tailor each lesson to your goals, interests, and learning style. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your German learning journey!

Graduate from two top world universities with over 10 years of experience Hi everyone, I’m Brian McFadden: I'm 38 and have two BA degrees from UC Berkeley in German and Philosophy and I have a masters degree in Classical Languages (Ancient Greek and Latin) from the University of Chicago. I was born and raised in Southern California and am a native speaker of English. I studied Spanish, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek in college. I have been a language tutor for over ten years and have had students from a variety of ages and backgrounds. I’m interested in incorporating linguistics and precise definitions into my lessons in order to have my students learn their target language comprehensively and easily. My teaching mostly involves giving my students a handful of words from the target language and having them use those words to speak in complete sentences. We then gradually build on these sentences by adding new words and grammatical concepts throughout the lesson. Additionally, I incorporate listening, reading, and writing through audio clips and music, reading quotes from famous authors, and writing exercises.

Deutsch lernen mit Lando – Polyglot & effektive Methoden Hallo! 👋 I’m Lando from the United States 😊. I’ve been speaking German since I was quite young, and it’s one of my strongest languages. I also speak English and Arabic, and I’m a passionate polyglot—learning languages is more than a hobby for me; it’s a way of understanding the world! Because I’ve studied many languages myself, I know how frustrating it can be to struggle with grammar, vocabulary, or speaking confidently. That’s why I focus on helping students speak naturally and feel confident, whether it’s for exams, school, work, or everyday life. Lessons with me are practical, personalized, and always interactive—you’ll be speaking and improving from day one! 🚀 As a teacher, I focus on helping students speak clearly and confidently. I've developed The Polyglot Method to improve pronunciation, fluency, and vocabulary in a structured but fun way. I adapt every lesson to your level and goals, whether you’re a beginner wanting to start the right way, an intermediate learner looking to break through, or someone who wants to sound more natural in conversation. My lessons combine pronunciation, conversation practice, and practical grammar. We focus on real-life communication, so you can speak naturally and confidently in everyday situations. I give clear feedback and corrections, help you improve your accent, and guide you to build fluency step by step. Every session is interactive, enjoyable, and focused on making real improvement in your German.

English/German Grammar and Business English Teacher My main focus is GRAMMAR and BUSINESS ENGLISH (topics listed below). I like to truly focus on helping the student to become more fluent in conversational and written English, German, or Serbo-Croatian by providing helpful tips and tricks to make grammar fun, easy, and comprehensible. I help with different language concepts to help you sound more natural, whether in an everyday or professional setting. Instead of using traditional grammar rules, I use my own little tips and tricks to make the class fun, easy, and effective. Some students have even called me the "grammar surgeon" :D For CONVERSATION classes, I will type out your mistakes with corrections as you speak.

CELTA-certified, multilingual English teacher with a BA in Germanistik and Creative Writing Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked as a professional foreign language consultant in English and German, with experience ranging from teaching and tutoring to direct consultation on the language-related aspects of my students’ professional projects. I aim to cultivate a fun and educational learning environment in which my students can practise and improve their understanding and range of expression. My courses are highly adaptable to my students’ language levels, learning time frames, and desired focus/intensity, whether we decide to read English/German literature together, speak conversationally, or stick to the fundamentals of grammar and usage in a more traditional CEFR-style course.

Taking career and job search lessons with Tobias directly helped me land a job. His insights into the German job market, hiring expectations, and best practices are invaluable for a successful job hunt. Thank you, Tobias, for all your support and guidance!

Learning German with Mahmoud has been an absolute game-changer. I am currently reaching the B2 level, and from day one, he made me feel completely at ease. He adapted perfectly to my learning style while keeping me challenged with incredibly interactive lessons. One hour with him is a real workout for the brain! He is methodical, courteous, and truly caring about his students' progress. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to level up their German!

I've had 100 lessons with Emily and I couldn't be happier with having selected her as my teacher. As an older person I truly appreciate her patience when I struggle to formulate sentences due to my lack of vocabulary and grammar structures. She gives me time to think and then will give me hints so I can finish my sentence. During our conversations she will add new vocabulary gradually so that I can expand my vocabulary over time without being overwhelmed. I highly recommend her if you are interested in learning one of the languages she teaches.

Ich lerne derzeit Deutsch auf C2-Niveau, und Samantha wählt die Themen und den Wortschatz für mein Niveau hervorragend aus. Sie hat eine wunderbar klare und verständliche Aussprache. Mir gefällt besonders, dass sie neben den Lernmaterialien auch authentische Materialien auswählt und mir Ressourcen zum zusätzlichen Deutschlernen empfehlen kann. Vielen herzlichen Dank!

Anne ist eine sehr geduldige und liebe Deutschlehrerin. Sie ist die beste Sprachpartnerin, die ich mir wünschen konnte. Ich habe ihre Sprachübungen gebucht und meine Zufriedenheit könnte nicht größer sein. Sie bringt immer ihre eigenen Themen mit, über die wir reden können. Das finde ich sehr hilfreich, weil ich meine Fähigkeit beim Sprechen verbessern möchte und es keinen besseren Weg für mich gibt, als über ein Thema sprechen zu müssen, auf das ich mich nicht vorher vorbereiten kann. Anne hat eine große Empathie für ihre Lernenden. Dadurch kann ich mit ihr ganz entspannt auf Deutsch sprechen, auch wenn ich weiß, dass ich viele Fehler mache. Unter anderem werden meine Tage nach unseren Stunden durch ihre positive Energie beeinflusst und danach habe ich bessere Laune.

Conny is an amazing, wonderfully talented teacher with a real passion for it. We've been having classes for a long time now and it's always a blast. We end up discussing deep, unusual, and exciting topics, and I always leave the class with some food for thought. Our conversations flow naturally, and I don't feel judged for making mistakes or taking a bit longer to find the right word. Conny readily supplies me with correct and authentic vocabulary in the chat, which I can always revise later. I really like Conny's teaching style — I think she has a way of making every student feel a lot more confident about their German skills than they would otherwise. So if you're looking for a supportive and invested teacher that will encourage you every step of the way, Conny is your perfect choice!

Margo is a fantastic teacher. She is engaging, speaks very clearly, and is genuinely interested in her students. She has a pedagogical mindset, and this combined with her indubitable command of German means that she will be able to effectively help you find the right synonyms, figure out the right nuances, and help you phrase your sentence to precisely express what you were hoping to convey in a natural and native-sounding way. She is also visibly dedicated to - and enthusiastic about - teaching, and will give you plenty of tips, thorough written feedback and vocab sheets. She is never short of interesting conversation topics, and will seamlessly string them together, so much so that even an hour ends up going by surprisingly fast. Would strongly recommend for German lessons, regardless of your level!

Ich kann den Unterricht bei Daniel auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Er hat mir sehr bei der Vorbereitung auf die Goethe-B2-Prüfung geholfen. Die Stunden waren immer gut strukturiert und klar auf mein Ziel ausgerichtet. Besonders hilfreich fand ich, dass Daniel mir regelmäßig Hausaufgaben gegeben und diese anschließend sorgfältig korrigiert hat. Während des Unterrichts habe ich kontinuierlich konkretes Feedback zu meinen Fehlern und Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten bekommen. Außerdem hat Daniel viele sehr nützliche Lernmaterialien und Ressourcen mit mir geteilt, die für meine Prüfungsvorbereitung wirklich einen großen Unterschied gemacht haben. Daniel war immer unterstützend, geduldig und zuverlässig. Alle Stunden haben pünktlich begonnen, und die Zusammenarbeit war insgesamt sehr angenehm und professionell. Ich habe den Unterricht sehr genossen und würde ihn besonders Lernenden empfehlen, die sich strukturiert und gezielt auf eine Deutschprüfung wie das Goethe-Zertifikat vorbereiten möchten.

I highly recommend Nikolija to any motivated German learner who wants to make fast, structured progress. I started learning German from scratch about 2 years ago and studied with Nikolija for most of that time. During those two years, I progressed from A1 to C2 and recently passed the Goethe-Zertifikat C2 exam. She played a major role in helping me get there. Two things especially set her apart. First, she has her own comprehensive materials from A1 to C2, covering grammar, vocabulary, texts, and exercises. More importantly, she explains them exceptionally well and has a deep command of the language. Second, her teaching is extremely systematic. She introduces grammar and vocabulary in a carefully planned progression, so you never have to worry about what to study next, what you may have missed, or whether there are gaps in your knowledge. If you are motivated and willing to put in the work, Nikolija is THE best teacher to help you reach your goals. I cannot recommend her enough.

I have been learning German with Sassi for some time already, and she helped me prepare for the oral part of my B2 TELC exam over the course of three months. She knows the exam structure, topics, and useful tips very well, which made the preparation focused and effective (and I got the maximum number of points in the exam!) I especially appreciate how well she adapts the lessons to my needs. She always creates materials during the classes and also shares additional useful resources for practice. She uses the lesson time very effectively and is always fully present and engaged. I really enjoy working with Sassy and would definitely recommend her to anyone preparing for a German exam or simply willing to improve their German!
