Egor
Certified teacher and linguist with many years of teaching experience As a trained linguist with many years of experience, I’ve had the joy of teaching students from all walks of life. From Russian and German at a Japanese university to shaping a Russian coursebook and teaching across Germany, Russia, and Japan, my journey has been all about helping people unlock new languages. I’m known for my patience and love for making even the trickiest language rules—like grammar—easy to understand. Whether you’re stuck on a word or curious about culture, I’m here to guide you. But what I enjoy most is watching my students’ progress (I know it sounds a bit cheezy :)) —but it’s the best part of teaching, knowing that every step forward brings a new sense of achievement.

Christian Müller
As someone who used to stutter and dislike languages (and especially the pesky grammar), getting into intense-self-studies to improve my English became my origin story. I worked as teacher for English in my hometown for 2 years afterward, after acquiring a C2 certificate from Cambridge. This encouraged me to also intensely study and re-fresh the German grammar, phonetics and teaching techniques (didactic) before starting to teach it online full-time. (it included a lot of head-shaking, and I’m a native) Through that, and my pursuit to master art I don’t believe in inherited talent, but pursued interest. Everyone can, through dedication, practice and fun, learn to speak a foreign language.

Marco
✺❁ Certified teacher ❁ Exam preparation ❁ Vocabulary ❁ Grammar ❁ Open conversation ❁ Easy going ❁✺ I became a teacher on italki to share my passion for a rare and complex language with people around the world—whether you're deeply interested or simply love learning new things. I’m relaxed, communicative and motivated so lessons with me feel more like fun than work—which is how it should be! I’ve been teaching German for over 6 years, helping students prepare for real life in Germany—exams, interviews, integration tests, and more. Since I’ve learned (and keep learning) foreign languages myself, I know how hard it can be to speak—but don’t worry, I’ll guide you in a supportive, comfortable and yet professional way.

Blaž
Relaxed Conversational Class I’m a native Slovene speaker, a C2 level English speaker, and I hold a degree in German and Spanish. I use German daily at work. Over time, I’ve mastered these languages in both accent and expression. I can communicate with native speakers of all these languages with ease and confidence. That’s exactly what I want for you — to speak easily and confidently. I easily adapt to your level and personality, creating lessons that feel natural, comfortable, and engaging. You’ll be improving constantly — sometimes without even noticing it! 😉 I will take care of that the lessons are in no way a burden, but a time for fun and easy-going learning.

Dominic - डोमिनिक
Speaking is the best way to learn a language, so my lessons usually center around having an actual conversation in German, but I will also give you grammar instructions and help you with pronunciation as and when necessary. If you struggle with any particular grammar topic, we can of course also dedicate a whole lesson to that. Generally I'm happy to adapt myself to your needs and preferences. While we talk, I make extensive notes in a google document, I write down new vocabulary with example sentences, grammar instructions, corrections, etc. You'll have access to this document during and after the classes.

Stephan
✹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.

Tanja
German for clear, confident and precise communication As a teacher, I work in a focused and learner-centred way. I guide the learning process actively and consciously, while creating a calm and supportive atmosphere. A key aspect of my teaching is clarity: I pay close attention to precision of expression, structure and conscious language use. I mainly work with adult learners who already have some knowledge of German and want to express themselves more confidently, freely and accurately in real communicative situations. Language development is guided deliberately and purposefully, with conversation, explanation and targeted feedback working together.
