German for Life in Austria 🇦🇹 Speak with Confidence (A1-B1) Hi! My name is Ksenia, and I am a German teacher living in Europe. I know exactly how it feels to learn a language from zero, because I went through this journey myself. I moved to a German-speaking country and learned the language step by step in real life — through communication, mistakes, and practice. Now I help my students feel confident speaking German in everyday situations, at work, or when preparing for exams. I create a friendly and supportive atmosphere where you don’t feel afraid to speak. I am a patient, supportive, and structured teacher. Many of my students feel insecure when speaking — and that’s completely normal. I create a relaxed atmosphere where you can speak freely without fear. In my lessons, you will: – understand grammar in a simple way – speak from the first lesson – learn useful phrases for real situations – get clear feedback and support I always adapt lessons to your level and goals, so you can see real progress. My lessons are structured but flexible. We focus on speaking, because communication is the key to learning a language. Depending on your goals, we can: improve speaking and confidence prepare for exams learn grammar in a simple and clear way practice real-life situations I always adjust the lesson to you — your level, pace, and interests. Lessons are interactive, practical, and never boring 😊

Certified teacher with over 25 years of teaching experience I am a very patient teacher with a good sense of humour, who is convinced, that it's a lot easier to learn a language, while having a good time :o) Before we start with the lessons, I will evaluate your current level and your goals with learning the language. I will also find out what kind of exercises and assignments you prefer, as I am aware, that every student needs a different approach. During many years of teaching German as a second language I gathered a big pool of different teaching materials and I will find the right stuff to get you on track in a fun and easy way :o)

Qualified Native German Tutor with 10+ years experience I really enjoy teaching German and seeing my students progress. I have been teaching German since 2012 and my students are all ages and levels. From complete beginners to C2 students, and from those preparing for an exam to those who would just like to learn a few sentences before their holidays. I am very flexible and friendly, and I understand completely how difficult it can be to learn a new language - I have been there myself. In 2019, I completed the Level 3 Award in Adult Education and Training to give me additional knowledge about all elements of teaching students who are 16 years and older. I also offer online lessons for children who are 10 years and older.

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!
