Steff
Certified teacher with over 20 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)

Manuel
Certified linguist (MA) helps with test & interview preparation, Business and Medical German My background is linguistics (Master of Arts) with many years of language teaching experience and an understanding of the structure of languages. In my final thesis I explored how cultural differences are manifested in languages and how they are mistakingly carried into target languages by learners. I have worked as a language teacher on almost all levels (except with toddlers and children). I have taught groups and individuals at university and school level as well as in business environments. Many of my current clients are from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Furthermore, I love languages and constantly try new methods for my own language learning to put me in the shoes of the learner.

Gerald
One of the most experienced German teachers on italki (more than 4000 lessons) I'm a professional German teacher certified by the renown Goethe Institut. In my experience the biggest problem with learning a language is that the students think they need to get it perfectly right every time they say something. This stops you from talking freely, and makes you fall short of your full potential. In my lessons, I will encourage you to speak without being afraid of making mistakes. I offer different kinds of lessons, some follow a course structure, others are only focused on conversation. Of course it's also possible to mix a structural approach with free speaking.

I’m a firm believer in the principle of “learning by doing”. If you want to improve your German, you need to spend a lot of time using the German language, speaking it, hearing it, reading it, and writing it. That’s what I want to help you with. My lessons are all about you actively using the German language. I adjust my lessons to your level and your specific goals. I give you feedback about your pronunciation, your grammar, and your choice of words and tell you how to improve. I write down important things from the lesson in a document and send it to you. I offer conversation practice (free conversations or structured conversation praxis), textbook-based lessons, and test preparation.

I have taught German and English in several different circumstances. During my early internships in China I organized basic German and business level English trainings. In the German Chamber of Commerce, I was also involved in editing a yearly bi-language training brochure for special trainings in Shanghai. But I also taught English and German for a year in kindergarten, where I focused on fun in acquiring a new language. In Germany I mainly taught German privately, mainly focusing on the Testdaf-exam but also the German high school-diploma Abitur. Occasionally, I also prepared students for the TOEFL-Exam.

In September 2020 I started working as a science teacher at an international school, teaching children from the age of 8 to 12. After completing a 120 hour TEFL course, I also started working as a private English tutor for 5 to 12-year-old children. Since I started working as a teacher, I realized how much I enjoy teaching and seeing my students make progress. So I decided to start teaching the language that I feel most comfortable with – German.

Gottfried Andreas
Longtime experienced German native teacher. Speaking high German and different German accents. I love teaching and helping you to learn in an effective way. I believe the best way to learn a language is to talk as much as possible with a native speaker, to train grammar and pick up more and more vocabulary. We can explore together different highlights of Germany, its culture scene, typical traditions, slang, accents and much more which makes the German language and the country so special. I have worked in management and sales, so I can prepare you for job interviews, applications and business travel too. Depending when you like to learn I am flexible to open time slots which suit you the best. Just contact me and we will find a way.
