Frisch zurück aus Harvard: Doktorin mit über 10 Jahren Unterrichtserfahrung My first teaching experiences date back to my high school days when I started working as a private tutor. I taught German, English, French and Maths to younger students. Throughout college and my Ph.D. journey, I continued working as a private tutor for both high school students and adults in Germany and abroad. At the University of Cologne (Germany), I gained experiences as a university tutor and gave several workshops on oral presentation skills.

native - humorous - certified language mentor - Your goal, Your pace, Your success! As I love to learn languages myself I try to find the most entertaining way of teaching my native language to my students. It is always motivating to use hobbies or interest as a base for learning a language! Besides the theory of grammar which always comes with it, the fun-part should never be missed! The most important aspect is the motivation! As for myself I do enjoy teaching, pointing out new ways and possibilities of learning. Accompanying my students in their learning or improving process. I did a training to be a certified German teacher from the Goethe Institut (Lehrerin für Deutsch als Zweit- und Fremdsprache --> DaF/DaZ-Zertifikat) which I completed successfully in April 2023.

Zertifizierte DAF Lehrkraft mit über vier Jahren Unterrichtserfahrung I am convinced that learning a new language in a natural way like children do, is the best and most efficient way to speak on a native level. You don't have to struggle with endless amounts of grammar exercises, studying grammar books or long lists of vocabulary in order to gain fluidity. Before children learn about grammar rules in school they are about 10 years and speak fluently. I have been tutoring children and teenagers for 10 years now and concentrating on conversations mostly as well as keeping them motivated is one of the most essential tools. Seeing my students making progress and achieving their goal within only a short time is an incredibly rewarding experience!

I love teaching German 😊 Dear Students, Teaching is something I truly love. My goal is to help you learn German in a relaxed yet focused environment—on your schedule and at your own pace. Our shared objective: that after each 60-minute lesson, you walk away knowing more about the topic than you did before—*and* we’ve had an enjoyable time learning together 😊 A little about me: • I previously owned two language schools in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. • I’m also the author of *Aber Gern! Deutsch im Hotel*, Volumes 1 and 2 — coursebooks I created for German classes at the BPLP Hotel College in Bali, Indonesia

Native German tutor — patient, flexible, conversational I don't have a fixed method I impose on every student. Some people want to jump straight into conversation; others want to work through a text or build up their reading first. I'm happy either way — my job is to figure out what actually works for you and go from there. What I do bring is patience, and a learner's perspective. Having picked up several languages myself, I know how disorienting the early stages can feel, and I know that progress isn't always linear. I won't rush you, and I won't make you feel bad for revisiting something you thought you'd already nailed. If you're a complete beginner or somewhere in the middle and feeling a bit stuck, I'd love to work with you.

German for real life: conversations, interviews & confident communication (A1–C2) Hi, I’m Niels — a German teacher with a background in political science and over 10 years of teaching experience across Europe. I help learners use German confidently in real situations — in conversations, at work, and in job interviews. My lessons focus on speaking, reacting, and expressing ideas clearly. We work with real topics like society, culture, and everyday life, but also practical situations such as interviews, presentations, and professional communication. I give clear corrections and explanations, so you improve your grammar while actively speaking. I mainly work with learners from B1 to C1 who want more than textbook German — people who want to communicate effectively and think in German. What I offer • Real conversation & fluency (B1–C1) • Job interview preparation • Professional German (work & communication) • Discussion & argumentation training • Grammar in context (through speaking) • Structured, personalized lessons
