German for all levels: Business focus, cultural insights, and neurodivergence-friendly teaching As a teacher, I value a relaxed but clear learning atmosphere. My strength is adapting each lesson to you – whether you prefer structure and clear rules or a more playful, flexible approach. One of my main focuses is Business German: I’ll help you feel confident in meetings, deliver convincing presentations, and write professional emails that make the right impression. I also offer lessons that are neurodivergence-friendly. This means flexible methods, clear structures, regular breaks if needed, and plenty of patience. You’ll learn at your own pace – without pressure, but with real progress you can feel.

That's why I created different courses to assist you in every step of your German learning journey. I speak four languages, and I’m currently learning the fifth one. My experience in learning languages has a significant impact on my teaching style – I know what works and what doesn’t.

Teaching 11 languages, currently learning 3 more, 20+ years of experience as a teacher Hello! My name is Thomas, a multilingual teacher fluent in 11 languages—with German and Slovenian as my native tongues and with a lifelong passion for studying new ones (I’m currently learning 3). With 25 years of teaching experience (20 as an independent tutor), I specialize in structured, school-style lessons tailored to your goals. 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.

Certified teacher with over 8 years of experience. I was motivated to become an English teacher, so that I can assist in exposing students to the lingua franca of the world, that being English. Some estimates say that 80% of English speakers of the world are non native speakers. I obtained my TESOL certificate mid 2017 and decided to head to the east. I have taught kids and adults in rural Asian areas and have decided to bring my teaching expertise and experience online and have years of online teaching experience.

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.

✹PROFESSIONAL NATIVE GERMAN TEACHER WITH PASSION✹ I started teaching German to international students in 2009 as a private tutor during my university studies. During that time I realized that this is my true passion, because I love to work with people and seeing progress in my students makes me feel proud and truly happy. After graduation I took several courses to become a professional teacher and soon got a job at a reputable high school in Taiwan. Besides teaches classes, I still tutor private students and currently I am on a temporary leave to travel the world, while still tutoring online and funding my dream through italki.

German with Confidence – Certified Teacher, 5+ Years Online (Babbel Live) I have been teaching my mother tongue since 1999 in classroom settings and switched to online teaching in 2020. Since then, I have worked with many students from different countries and backgrounds. My teaching style is friendly yet formal, as the goal is to make you confident in the language rather than simply find a buddy – even if good rapport often comes naturally. This approach also reflects a German trait: it may take a little time to warm up, but once you do, it’s solid and lasting.

German classes for any age and goal! My expertise is fluency training so you can speak without thinking! My other expertise is business and bureaucratic German like visa or university entrance applications, German proficiency tests like DaF/DaZ or LiD. I like to teach not only the language but also about how to live in Germany, how to apply for things, how to manage all the paperwork that you sometimes have to deal with when you live in Germany, including business letters and resumes! And I really enjoy helping you with whatever you are trying to achieve!

Certified TEFL/Goethe teacher with 7+ years online teaching experience & 3 further years in schools. With thousands of classes under my belt, I’m trying something new. Rather than categorising classes by learner level, I’m switching to a learner and teacher engagement model. This lets you decide how invested you would like me to be in your success in and out of class. All classes begin with us getting to know each other, discussing the student's language aims and goals in general. I am approachable, flexible and easy going. My students feel at ease learning with me whether it is to improve their conversation or whether they aspire to pass exams and relocate. I offer consistent support and kind correction aiming always for continuous language improvement.
