For the past 10+ years I have been working as a translator, reviser, interpreter and language teacher. I have a Bachelor and Master level professional degree in translation and interpretation. My teaching experience is about 5 years – in private, in groups up to 20 people and online. I have various experience, but personally prefer helping beginners and intermediate language users to improve their skills, especially speaking, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The main focus is on: - Conversational practice and role-play - Real in-life use of new words and phrases with understanding the context - Overall understanding, listening and reading skills - Proper grammar and writing skills

Learn German Confidently — Step by Step Guidance for Real Results I believe learning German should be structured, clear, and enjoyable. In my classes, confidence comes before perfection — mistakes are part of learning, and you’ll always feel supported. My approach is student-centered: I adapt to your pace, goals, and style, whether you need exam preparation, conversation practice, or grammar support. Over the years, I’ve helped learners of different ages and backgrounds turn confusion into clarity and hesitation into fluent expression. I combine academic training with real-life experience to make each lesson practical and motivating. You’re never just studying — you’re gaining confidence, improving communication, and making real progress step by step.

Business German with a certified German tutor I love teaching and at the same time I have experience in different industries like real estate, retail, aviation, tourism, education, online marketing, gastronomy and also medicine. And my students can notice my work experience in every lesson. What makes me “special” is that I am a certified German tutor but combined with a lot of work experience in different fields. I professionally started as a teacher 7 years after a formation at the “Goethe-Institut”. I like both teaching groups and individuals, but I prefer 1:1 teaching, above all if it's about business German. I can consider the particular needs and the work situation of my students.

The world is our home and knowledge of the language allows you to erase the boundaries in it. I have students of all ages, both children and adults!. I’m a mom of two daughters, so I have a knack for inspiring children's curiosity in learning languages.

Habla alemán con confianza 🚀 Clases de conversación y preparación de exámenes con profe nativa 🌸 Me esfuerzo por crear un ambiente cercano y motivador, donde te sientas cómodo y sin miedo a equivocarte. Mis clases se centran principalmente en conversación, con mucha práctica real y ejemplos claros para que puedas usar el alemán en tu vida cotidiana. Como trilingüe, explico la gramática y conceptos del alemán usando ejemplos en inglés y español, y te ayudo a reconocer reglas y patrones para que aprendas también de manera independiente. Soy muy paciente y creo que aprender buen alemán es sobre practicar constantemente, y que con el tiempo se vuelve cada vez más fácil. Disfruto acompañarte hasta que el alemán deje de parecerte complicado y empieces a hablar con confianza.

Aufgeschlossene Kommunikationspartnerin Sprachen leben davon gesprochen zu werden, weswegen es hauptsächlich darum geht alltägliche Kommunikation zu führen. Andere verstehen und verstanden werden ist erstmal das wichtigste und die fachlich korrekten Ausdrucksweisen kommen dann automatisch. Auch wenn man vielleicht noch unsicher beim sprechen ist, weil man das schlecht alleine üben kann, sind Unterhaltungen ein ganz wichtiges Element, wenn man eine neue Sprache lernt. So werdet ihr nicht nur euer jetziges Sprachniveau halten, sondern auch verbessern, indem ihr Redewendungen, bestimmte Formulierungen oder neue Wörter kennenlernt.

Personalised language learning support with dedicated language and literature graduate Choose between conversational practise for advanced learners and the B1 course - in both I focus on your needs as a person as well as a language learner. I studied German linguistics, literature and philosophy. In 2019 I started giving German lessons online and joined Italki in 2020. I've since given more than 3000 lessons on different platforms, and I love it! I also take online language lessons myself, so I know both sides of this enriching exchange. I prefer to think of myself as someone who supports you in your learning rather than a teacher that tells you what to do, because this is the way I like to learn a language myself.

Qualified teacher of Polish, German, and Spanish with six years of professional experience I’ve wanted to become a teacher in formal education since I was 13 years old. I’ve specialized in four countries and gained experience with various teaching methods and educational systems in Poland, Germany, Chile, and Argentina. For me, being a teacher means taking on great responsibility — and at the same time, having a lot of fun. I'm always well-prepared, I offer a variety of exercises, and I love sharing fun facts. I encourage my students to speak a lot during the lessons, so they feel more comfortable with the language every week. I highly recommend my lessons to anyone who wants to learn in a dynamic and engaging way.

Deutsch lernen ohne Schulbank Erinnerungen ;) Ich bin Johann und komme aus der Nähe von München in Deutschland. Mit 24 Jahren bin ich nach Mexiko gezogen und habe dort, aber auch in den USA gearbeitet. Sprachen lernen war nie mein Hauptziel, aber ich habe schnell gemerkt, dass es viel leichter geht, wenn man die Sprache im Alltag gebraucht. Deshalb ist mein Unterrichtsziel, dass das Lernen Spaß macht und interessant ist – dann kommt die Sprache ganz von allein. Da ich auf einer anderen Plattform angefangen habe bin ich in Italki noch recht neu, aber Unterricht gebe ich schon länger, z.B. meiner mexikanische Frau. Da ich international als Mechatronik-Techniker unterwegs war, kannst du von mir Business- und Reisedeutsch lernen. Wir konzentrieren uns darauf, wie die Leute wirklich sprechen. Wenn du nicht der Studiertyp bist, kannst du mit mir das Wunder erleben, wie man durch Sprechen und Hören ganz von selbst sein Sprachniveau verbessert. Egal, ob du – so wie ich damals in Mexiko – ohne Vorkenntnisse anfangen möchtest oder ob du deine Geschwindigkeit beim Verstehen und Sprechen steigern willst: Wir passen den Unterricht ganz individuell an deine Bedürfnisse an.
