I'm a very patient teacher, because I'm learning languages myself and I know how frustrating it can be sometimes. I enjoy helping my students and I make sure my lessons are focused on you and your individual needs. Unfortunately, because it keeps happening, I need to point out the following: ** No-shows and late cancellations ** According to the italki rules, cancellations are not possible within 24 hours before the lesson. I understand that sometimes unexpected things happen, so I grant students one exception every three months. After that, the student will have to pay the full amount. I hope you appreciate the concession but also understand the limit.

Native German, traveler, artist, and teacher with 4+ years experience helps you speak fluent German! With my personal experience and +4 years of teaching German, I want to help you achieve fluency in a way that’s effective, enjoyable, interactive and creative. I’ve completed over 1,300 lessons and had the privilege of guiding 120+ students on their learning journey. 100% of my students who prepared for exams like the Goethe-Institut tests passed! I’ve developed effective and creative teaching methods, inspired by teaching and by my own language-learning journey (I’ve mastered more than 4 languages—English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese). I provide a wide range of materials tailored to make your learning easy, structured and FUN. So lets walk this learning journey together?

Daniel 다니엘
Masters in Language Education, specialized in 1:1 online teaching; grounded in the latest research What sets me apart is my deep understanding of how the brain works for language learning. With an understanding of cognitive psychology and extensive experience teaching as well learning myself 4 languages to high proficiency, I have developed an innovative and research-based teaching methodology that maximizes your language acquisition and retention. I exercise common sense and respect in my classes. My goal is for you to learn the language so that you can use it to be successful in many other areas of your life. Actually, I envy you that you have the opportunity to have someone who understands so much about language learning. It's not just about grammar and vocab; it goes much deeper =)

Klaus Zwirner
GERMAN TEACHER with 7 years experience in school and university + examiner for the Goethe-Institut I am a responsible-minded, enthusiastic and flexible teacher with a good sense of humour. I participated in many different language courses, which gave me the possibility to see the things from the student's perspective. I know how challenging it is to learn a new language. I got to know which contents and methods I want to include in my teaching approach and which contents are improvable. It makes a lot of fun to teach German to other people. It is always interesting to see students improving their skills. To learn a new language can mean also to share interests, cultural facts (music, food,...), actual topics or other moments with people. Communication and interaction!

I have a university degree (Bachelor and Master) in teaching languages and I have been teaching German, English and Spanish for over 5 years to students of different ages. My oldest student was 80 and I think he is a good example that it is never too late to start learning a new language or enhancing your language skills and taking your language learning to the next level. I'm a very patient and empathetic teacher who thinks mistakes are an important part of the learning process and whose goal it is to create a comfortable learning atmosphere for you.

Teacher Mila
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.

Language learning needs structure, humour, and the right kind of obsession. I bring all three. I’ve taught Dutch and French in secondary school, and German and Dutch in adult education. I’ve been tutoring since I was a student myself — in law, languages, and study skills. My lessons are conversation-based, flexible, and adapted to your needs. I won’t give you a step-by-step textbook course — instead, I’ll coach you through real-life communication, at your level and pace. I don’t teach Dutch from scratch, but if you already speak a little, I’ll help you build fluency, confidence, and clarity. Because language is a skill — and you only learn it by using it.

Stefanie
Goethe-certified German teacher, accredited by German Migration Ministry I love learning languages and have experimented a lot over the years with different methods and approaches to learning, so I do have quite an idea about what works for different types of learners and what doesn't. I am here to present you knowledge and opportunities for practice that cater to your specific needs. You are more of a visual type? Or you memorize best through a combination of listening and repetition? Or you are already somewhat a pro and want to learn about nuances of meaning and broaden your vocabulary? You name it, I got it!

What we will do in our time together here on italki is: enjoying the learning process through maybe sometimes challenging exercises of having free conversation and writing together, maybe recording texts and listening to examples of native speakers. Of course we will model our time together according to your level, needs and expectations. So, I am very open to wishes and suggestions.

Leonie Feldmann
Focus on Well-Being, Job Application and Conversation My empathy and open-mindedness help me in creating a good atmosphere in my lessons, as a traveler I love to get to know people from different cultures. A training by the Goethe Institut helped me improve my teaching skills. My strengths as a teacher are my great German vocabulary which is particularly interesting for advanced students, my interest in many different topics and my knowledge of psychology which inspired me to offer some particular types of lessons. Generally, I am flexible to adapt to your wishes: talking, reading, writing and correcting texts together or also discussing grammar and solving grammar exercises.

Currently working with students who are Level A2.2 or higher - looking forward to meet you ☀️ Im Zuge meines Studiums habe ich schon viele verschiedene Methoden kennenlernen dürfen, um das Lernverhalten bestmöglich zu unterstützen. Ich basiere meine Stunden auf Kommunikation, weil ich denke, dass man auf diese Weise am besten eine Fremdsprache lernen kann. Ich gehe sehr gerne auf individuelle Wünsche und Fragen ein. Mir ist es wichtig, dass unsere gemeinsamen Stunden genau dein Ziel verwirklichen können. I got to know a lot of different ways of teaching through my studies, so I have a wide variety that I can choose from. I can assure you, that I will try my best to support you on your learning path. I base my lessons on communication, because I feel like that is a very natural form
