Deutsch lernen mit Gesprächen, Hörverstehen und aktivem Sprachtraining Hallo, ich bin Kathrin und Deutsch ist meine Muttersprache. Als Community Tutor möchte ich dich dabei unterstützen, deine Deutschkenntnisse Schritt für Schritt auszubauen und mehr Sicherheit beim Sprechen zu gewinnen. Dabei lege ich Wert auf einen strukturierten Unterricht in einer entspannten und freundlichen Lernatmosphäre. Jede Unterrichtsstunde hat ein eigenes Thema, das sich an deinem Sprachniveau und deinen Interessen orientiert. Zu jedem Thema arbeiten wir mit passenden Hör- oder Lesetexten, um dein Hörverstehen und Sprachverständnis zu verbessern. Anschließend lernen wir gemeinsam neue Vokabeln und Redewendungen, die zum Thema passen. Diese Wörter werden nicht nur erklärt, sondern direkt angewendet: Gemeinsam üben wir den Satzbau und bilden eigene Sätze, damit du den neuen Wortschatz aktiv nutzen kannst. Ein wichtiger Teil meines Unterrichts ist das Sprechen. Durch Gespräche, Fragen und praktische Übungen kannst du das Gelernte sofort anwenden und dein Selbstvertrauen in der deutschen Sprache stärken. Gerne gehe ich dabei auf deine individuellen Ziele und Bedürfnisse ein. Ob du deine Konversationsfähigkeiten verbessern, deinen Wortschatz erweitern oder mehr Sicherheit im Satzbau gewinnen möchtest – der Unterricht wird an deine Lernziele angepasst. Ich freue mich darauf, dich auf deinem Weg beim Deutschlernen zu begleiten.

Certified German Teacher: 15+ Years of Inspiring Language Journeys Native Swiss Teacher & Linguistics PhD | German & Swiss German | Beginners, Conversation & Exam Prep I'm Ivo, a Swiss teacher of German, trained educator, and PhD researcher in Linguistics. I explain why German works the way it does, so it makes sense instead of feeling like rules to memorise. Most students come to me for one of these: › Starting from zero (or nearly). Complete beginners welcome. We build a foundation step by step, at a pace that suits you. › Speaking more naturally. Conversation with real feedback: pronunciation, phrasing, the small things that make you sound like a person, not a textbook. › Swiss German. Understand the dialect and start speaking it. As a native, I teach genuine spoken dialect. Ideal if you live in Switzerland or plan to. › Preparing for an exam. Goethe, telc, TestDaF, or the Swiss fide test and naturalisation interview. We work backward from the format and date, together. › Settling into a German-speaking country. Everyday German plus citizenship and integration prep. I explain the customs behind the language too. › Making it stick. Review efficiently: flashcards, spaced repetition, a system that keeps you improving between lessons. Structured lessons, conversation, or a mix: I adapt to your level and goals. My aim is to make German, in every variety, challenging, enjoyable, and useful. 華語學習者:我可用中文解釋德語,並持有對外華語教學碩士學位。歡迎預約。 📅 I open next month's availability mid-month. If nothing fits, message me and we'll arrange something.

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.

Let`s Talk around the Clock! My focus is teaching German by talking as much as possible. I find it important to get used to the sound of a language and to practise speaking and listening.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or polishing fluency, I’ll help you build and improve skills systematically. When teaching I take my work seriously. A scheduled lesson becomes part of my weekly plan and I get ready for it. I conduct a detailed journal of what we have been doing, thus it is easy for me to check the content of our previous sessions. I used to teach students in physical classrooms. In 2021 I started using Skype for my lessons (today it's Teams) and things work out very well. I am always punctual as I respect the time my students take for our lessons, likewise I do appreciate if my students do the same. My lessons can be conducted in any of the following languages: German Slovenian English French Swedish Danish Norwegian Italian Spanish Dutch Esperanto I try to conduct my lessons in a way that resembles the conventional school as much as possible. Meaning a thorough explanation of the grammar with several carefully tailored examples, exercises, homework, checking the student's progress, listening and reading comprehensions and once the student's knowledge progresses sufficiently, having a conversation.

Ich begann mit dem Unterrichten von Hochdeutsch 2017 während eines Auslandssemesters. Als ich Italki entdeckte, spezialisierte ich mich auf Zürcherdeutsch und helfe seither Einwanderern bei ihrer Integration in der Schweiz. Das Level variiert dabei von Beginnern bis hinzu Fortgeschrittenen. Aus Mangel an guten Unterrichtsmaterialien habe ich im Verlauf der Jahre meinen eigenen Kurs mit einer Vielzahl verschiedener Übungstypen zusammengestellt. Ich biete auch weiterhin Unterricht in Hochdeutsch an und kann eventuell auch bei weiteren Schweizer Dialekten weiterhelfen.

Native German | Goals from A-Z | All Levels & Ages | Conversation and/or Structure and/or Strategy My interest in teaching started early when I helped my siblings first. Later I completed my degree as a foreign language secretary in GER, ENG + FR (Business Correspondence/Translation/Interpreting = social and professional interaction). After that I began tutoring and soon realized how much I enjoy helping people make real progress. Since joining italki in early 2019, I have been rated a Top 1% German Teacher in 2023. My students have a success rate of about 99.5%, usually achieving results even better than expected. Learning a language is not only about grammar — it’s about communication, confidence, and understanding people. Everyone is welcome and speaking one's mind is encouraged

!My October classes are open for booking now! Lovely students, please reach out to me before booking your first lesson – receiving requests without knowing who you are is like prescribing medicine without meeting the patient! I’m 38 years old with teaching experience in medicine, physiotherapy students and in preparing international medical professionals for language exams. I’m amazed by the human body and love sharing knowledge. Medicine is wonderful but challenging – especially in a new country. I’m here to lend you a helping hand along the way I want to encourage my students to speak a lot. My lessons are a dialogue, not a monologue. Explaining something yourself makes it easier to understand. Speaking a foreign language can feel uncomfortable at first, but practice in a relaxed atmosphere makes it easier. I provide a safe space where students can try things out without embarrassment Ich möchte meine Schüler ermutigen, viel zu sprechen. Mein Unterricht ist ein Dialog, kein Monolog. Wer selbst präsentiert, versteht Prozesse leichter. Fremdsprachen zu sprechen ist anfangs oft unangenehm, doch Übung in entspannter Atmosphäre macht es leichter. Ich biete meinen Schülern einen geschützten Rahmen, in dem sie sich ausprobieren können. Sprechen, sprechen, sprechen … je mehr der Schüler spricht, desto besser! Speak, speak, speak… the more the student speaks, the better! Hablar, hablar, hablar… ¡cuanto más hable el alumno, mejor!
