The best German tutors for you

Native German teacher with 30+ experience and English teacher CELTA Certified. I was born in the North German city of Kiel on the Baltic Sea with a love for languages. I studied English at a U.S. university and have an M.A. in German literature and linguistics from Georgetown University in Washington D.C. I also have a CELTA certificate from Cambridge University to teach English as a second language to adult learners. I have worked as a language instructor in the U.S. and Europe for over 25 years and have lived in England, Belgium and France. Currently, I am located in Arlington, USA but am spending my summers in Germany and France. I feel passionate about teaching languages as a gate to our world view and I believe that education is a gift that keeps on giving. I have also spent many hours volunteering as a teacher in more vulnerable communities, such as refugee classes and online lessons for young women. I don't follow one particular teaching method. I consider the learner's particular needs, their learning style and I try to find out what's most effective. I prefer a student centered approach. Activities are chosen to work on all four language skills (speaking, reading, listening and writing). Communication and discourse is an important part of my lessons but I also take other systems into account such as grammar, pronunciation and learning vocabulary. Everything is connected. Thus we might have a discussion about time and read a text about the importance of being on time in English or German society which might lead to a lesson on telling time.

Focus on JOB APPLICATION + PSYCHOLOGY/MEDICINE Training! Hallo, ich bin Leonie :) Ich bin 30 Jahre alt und komme aus der Nähe von Hamburg. Mittlerweile wohne ich in Italien, meiner neuen Wahlheimat. Ich habe Psychologie studiert und habe eine Zertifizierung als Deutschlehrerin vom Goethe Institut. Meine große Leidenschaft ist neben der Psychologie das Kennenlernen anderer Kulturen und Sprachen. Ich liebe außerdem Musik (Singen und Tanzen), Sport (Schwimmen, Yoga, Fahrrad, ...) und treffe mich gerne mit meinen Freunden. Bei meinem Unterricht geht es sowohl um Sprachentwicklung als auch darum, dir ein sicheres und angenehmes Umfeld zu schaffen. Ich biete Hilfe bei Konversationspraxis, Bewerbungstraining und spezielles Training für Psycholog*innen und Mediziner*innen. Meine Empathie und Offenheit helfen mir dabei, eine angenehme Atmosphäre in meinem Unterricht zu schaffen. Als Reisende liebe ich es, Menschen aus verschiedenen Kulturen kennenzulernen. Eine Weiterbildung des Goethe-Instituts hat mir geholfen, meine Unterrichtskompetenzen weiter zu verbessern. Meine Stärken als Lehrerin sind mein großer deutscher Wortschatz, der besonders für fortgeschrittene Lernende interessant ist, mein Interesse an vielen unterschiedlichen Themen sowie meine Kenntnisse der Psychologie, die mich dazu inspiriert haben, einige besondere Unterrichtsformen anzubieten.

Certified Business German Teacher with 2+ years professional teaching experience Hi, my name is Engelbert from Austria and I´m 28 years old. My German lessons are practical, supportive, and focused on what is most important to you. You may want to use German more confidently in everyday life, at work, when travelling, after moving to a German-speaking country, or in conversations with other people. Together, we will define clear goals and choose the topics that will help you make real progress. I´m fluent in English (no requirement) so I can give you the easiest possible way of learning. I want you to feel comfortable speaking from the beginning. Mistakes are a natural part of learning, and I will help you understand and correct them without pressure. In our lessons, we can use everyday conversations, role plays, short texts, listening activities, vocabulary exercises, grammar practice, and writing tasks. The aim is not only to learn rules, but to use German actively and confidently in real situations. Our first lesson is a chance for us to get to know each other. We will discuss your current level, your previous learning experience, and the situations in which you would like to use German. Based on your goals, I will recommend a suitable learning plan and prepare lessons that fit your level/ interests. With more than 2,000 hours of experience teaching adult learners, I understand that every student learns differently. I prepare each lesson carefully, explain clearly, and support you step by step as you become more independent and confident in German.

I really enjoy my job and love seeing my students improve their skills step by step and experience moments of success both in and outside of class. My students can be sure that I always show up to class with a smile on my face, that the lessons are carefully prepared and tailored to the needs of each individual student, and that I answer all questions during class with clear explanations and lots of patience.

Let's speak real German from A to Z: Von A wie Alltag, Q wie queere Themen bis W wie Wissenschaft! Hi! I'm vin! I'm a German, English & Spanish speaker from Berlin with a background in chemistry and science communication. I offer conversational practice for people who want real conversations, the kind you'd actually have with friends :) LET'S TALK SCIENCE 🔬📊🧪 LASST UNS ÜBER FORSCHUNG SPRECHEN 🔬📊🧬 Thanks to my science background, I love scientific and technical vocabulary: whether you're studying, researching, or just curious, I'll help you master tricky terms like "Aufenthaltswahrscheinlichkeit", "Rhizosphärenbildgebungsmethoden", and "Permutationsinvariante Quantentomographie"! LGBTQIA+ FRIENDLY LANGUAGE 🏳️‍🌈 WIE REDE ICH AUF DEUTSCH ÜBER QUEERNESS? 🦄 I'm also happy to cover queer and LGBTQIA+ terms in German. German is heavily gendered and sometimes lacks these terms, so I'll help you talk about yourself and others respectfully with vocabulary that rarely shows up in standard courses but comes up CONSTANTLY in real life. WHY ME? After frustrating years learning French and Latin in school, I restarted language learning 10 years ago with Spanish. Now I'm learning Portuguese, since I could imagine living in Latin America one day :) As a language learner myself, I know how frustrating it can be! Whatever brought you to German – curiosity, work, love, or fun 💬 – I'd love to help you build the confidence to actually use it. Talk to you soon! ✨

Language enthusiast, who will help you boost your German. Hello! My name is Tomasz and I would like to teach you German. I have lived in Germany for more than 16 years and use spoken and written German language every day. I come from Poland and speak several foreign languages. I would be glad to welcome you to my German lessons! Based on my experience of living and working in Germany, I can help you speak, read and understand German in no time. I can also explain German grammar to you using English, Polish, Russian, Czech, Spanish or Italian. I am still actively learning all those languages and I simply love to teach. We will work on your pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar during engaging conversations. During the first lesson we will determine your level of German and make a list of your interests, hobbies and other things you would like to speak about. This way I will teach you to speak, using the correct grammar and varied vocabulary. But the most important factor is having fun while learning new things, especially a new language. We will use different media to bring you closer to your goal. See you soon at your first German lesson with Tomasz!

Genau dabei möchte ich dir helfen! In unseren Stunden üben wir echte Gespräche oder machen Rollenspiele.

Ich bin geduldig und entspannt, und Fehler sind willkommen, denn sie zeigen, dass du Fortschritte machst. Ich freue mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen! Learning German can be fun! I want to help you speak confidently from the very first lesson. I learned Spanish the same way — by speaking with natives, without ever reading a grammar book — and I love passing this approach on. We’ll focus on real conversation, pronunciation, and using the language naturally. Grammar will come along the way through examples — no complicated rules or terms needed. I’m patient, relaxed, and love making lessons enjoyable. Mistakes are welcome — they’re part of learning, and every step brings you closer to speaking with confidence. Can’t wait to meet you and start speaking German together! Adults only.

German for work, daily life & confident speaking 🇩🇪🇦🇹 Hi. Hallo. Servus. 👋 I’m a native German speaker with an Austrian and German background, and I’ve been teaching adults for more than 9 years. I also speak English, Spanish and Italian, so I know what it feels like to understand a language and still struggle to get the words out fast enough. My lessons are built around what you actually need German for, whether that’s your job, an exam, moving to a German-speaking country, everyday conversations, or simply becoming more comfortable speaking. I’m also a certified mental trainer 🧠 So if your German suddenly disappears the moment somebody starts talking to you, we can work on that too. We look at what happens in that moment and practice ways to keep speaking instead of getting stuck. You can expect: • lots of speaking • clear corrections • useful phrases and sentence patterns • material based on your goals and interests If you’re not sure which lesson to choose, send me a message or book a trial and tell me what you need German for. I’ll help you find the best fit.
