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!

Ich als Lehrerin. Me as a teacher: I am a professional and passionate teacher of modern languages such as German, English and Spanish. I am easy-going and patient, yet very disciplined. My aim is to get you speaking, listening, reading and writing from the very beginning. I completely understand the inherent difficulties of language acquisition and know, from experience, that learning a new language can be quite a challenge. I therefore tailor my classes to individual needs and aim for optimal effectiveness to reach the required goal 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.

Goethe-certified German teacher, accredited by German Migration Ministry I love learning languages and have experimented a lot over the years with different methods and approaches to learning, so I do have quite an idea about what works for different types of learners and what doesn't. I am here to present you knowledge and opportunities for practice that cater to your specific needs. You are more of a visual type? Or you memorize best through a combination of listening and repetition? Or you are already somewhat a pro and want to learn about nuances of meaning and broaden your vocabulary? You name it, I got it!

Native German teacher, 9+ years of experience in the areas pronunciation, test preparation/ business ✔ If you are beginner, we will start with pronunciation first and then build grammar from there - that is the only way to sound native-like and avoid mistakes in the long run! ✔ If you are intermediate, I'll also give you a basic understanding of the German sounds to increase your awareness, with a special focus on the sounds you don't have in your native language ("sound gaps"). ✔ Throughout my lessons, I like to refer back to the individual sounds /aka "building blocks" of the German language - this has lead to great results for many of my students! ✔ I like you to find and correct your own (pronunciation) mistakes before I correct you (silent way approach)

16+ years experience in distance teaching and learning Hello, my name is Stephan. I am German and currently living in Finland. Language learning should be fun. Conversation and active use of a language is the fastest way to become fluent. Conversation, games, roleplays, interaction are great tools to use a language and become fluent in a joyful way. Since 2010, I constantly learn together with conversation partners in various languages. From this experience, I have gained ideas how language learning through conversation and via the internet is fun and efficient. I like to help you to learn German as your conversation partner and teacher and support you to reach your learning goals. I am happy to adapt to your needs and wishes. If you like, I suggest to compose each lecture from several blocks, such as brief free speaking as a warm-up (2-3min), Grammar and Vocabulary repetitions (5-10 Min), a presentation by you and which you prepared for the lesson, as well as language exercises such as roleplays, discussion about books, magazines, newspapers, as well as answering any questions you might have or bring into the lesson. If you like, I recommend that a small homework, such as reading or writing exercises support your learning too. Topic can be very flexible according to your interest. I have a technical background by profession, but I also like arts, nature or sports.

I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds—from complete beginners to professionals and advanced speakers aiming for fluency.

My lessons prioritize practical, real-life usage so you can speak German naturally and with confidence. I support learners at all levels (A1–C2) and offer targeted guidance in conversation, exam prep (Goethe, telc, fide, TestDaF, ÖSD, DSH, DTZ, Advanced Level, AP German), business German, job applications, interviews, German for Information Technology, German for Doctors and Swiss naturalization.

Ambitious and immersive learning, adjusted for your way of learning :) You can expect an attentive teacher, who will carefully listen to you and provide you with helpful feedback and advice. All this feedback and new concepts/words/expressions learned I will write down for you in a Google Doc. I am always genuinely interested in my student's topics and therefore I know that we will find a common ground on which we can conduct our productive lessons. In general, I am a teacher who can talk about anything and use every moment as an example for teaching purposes. Last but not least you can expect a teacher with a high command of the German language and an ample repertoire of speech expressions. contact me for more: [email protected] or Skype (same email)

Viele Jahre habe ich zuerst Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene in verschiedenen Instrumenten und dann in meiner Heilpraktikerschule die angehenden Heilpraktiker theoretisch und praktisch unterrichtet. Dort trat dann auch ein College an mich heran, ob ich ausländische Ärzte und Pflegekräfte in Deutsch unterrichten könnte. So kam ich zum Deutschunterricht. Erst habe ich nur an diesem College unterrichtet, zuerst direkt vor Ort, später hauptsächlich Online. Seit 2 Jahren gebe ich Online Deutschunterricht für Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene.

Deutsch & English (A1–C2) | Telc / DaF / GOETHE / TOEFL Test Prep / Deutsch für Mediziner C1 FSP Since I have learned several foreign languages myself, I know how challenging it can be to start – but also how motivating it is to see progress. That’s why, as a teacher, I place great importance on making you feel comfortable while learning. Whether you are just beginning or want to take your German to a higher level, I will support you with patience, motivation, and individually tailored methods. We can focus on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, or writing – depending on your goals and needs. I think it is very important to a great connection to your teacher - I dont work with boring textbooks, rather I write my own learning material which is both fun and visually appealing.
