native - humorous - certified language mentor - Your goal, Your pace, Your success! As I love to learn languages myself I try to find the most entertaining way of teaching my native language to my students. It is always motivating to use hobbies or interest as a base for learning a language! Besides the theory of grammar which always comes with it, the fun-part should never be missed! The most important aspect is the motivation! As for myself I do enjoy teaching, pointing out new ways and possibilities of learning. Accompanying my students in their learning or improving process. I did a training to be a certified German teacher from the Goethe Institut (Lehrerin für Deutsch als Zweit- und Fremdsprache --> DaF/DaZ-Zertifikat) which I completed successfully in April 2023.

Zertifizierte DAF Lehrkraft mit über vier Jahren Unterrichtserfahrung I am convinced that learning a new language in a natural way like children do, is the best and most efficient way to speak on a native level. You don't have to struggle with endless amounts of grammar exercises, studying grammar books or long lists of vocabulary in order to gain fluidity. Before children learn about grammar rules in school they are about 10 years and speak fluently. I have been tutoring children and teenagers for 10 years now and concentrating on conversations mostly as well as keeping them motivated is one of the most essential tools. Seeing my students making progress and achieving their goal within only a short time is an incredibly rewarding experience!

I love teaching German 😊 Dear Students, Teaching is something I truly love. My goal is to help you learn German in a relaxed yet focused environment—on your schedule and at your own pace. Our shared objective: that after each 60-minute lesson, you walk away knowing more about the topic than you did before—*and* we’ve had an enjoyable time learning together 😊 A little about me: • I previously owned two language schools in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. • I’m also the author of *Aber Gern! Deutsch im Hotel*, Volumes 1 and 2 — coursebooks I created for German classes at the BPLP Hotel College in Bali, Indonesia

Ich habe 18 Jahre lang in der Schweiz gelebt, wo ich sowohl Deutsch als auch Schweizerdeutsch meine zweite Muttersprache perfektioniert habe. Aktuell bin ich für ein Jahr in Barcelona und mache dort meinen Master (eine neue spannende Etappe in meinem Leben)! Durch meine eigene Sprachreise verstehe ich genau, wie es ist, eine neue Sprache zu lernen: die Herausforderungen, die Erfolge und die Freude am Fortschritt! Sprachen sind meine grosse Leidenschaft, und ich liebe es, meine Begeisterung weiterzugeben. Neben dem Unterrichten reise ich gerne, entdecke neue Kulturen, gehe laufen und mache Krafttraining. Diese Lebensfreude und Energie bringe ich auch in meine Deutschstunden ein! Flexibel, motivierend und auf dich zugeschnitten! Jeder lernt anders, deshalb passe ich meinen Unterricht individuell an deine Interessen, Ziele und dein Lerntempo an. Ob du: Konversation üben möchtest, Grammatik und Wortschatz aufbauen willst, Prüfungsvorbereitung brauchst, oder einfach mehr Selbstvertrauen beim Sprechen gewinnen möchtest, ...wir gestalten die Stunden gemeinsam. Ich lege grossen Wert auf eine entspannte und humorvolle Atmosphäre, denn Lernen soll Spass machen!

Na minha opinião, o estudo de um novo idioma engloba as diversas áreas do conhecimento, como: a escrita, a pronuncia, a leitura e interpretação. Também auxilio alunos para a preparação de provas de proficiência da língua alemã. Tenho um próprio material compilado que disponibilizo a cada aluno, como também faço exclusivamente se necessário.

Grüezi! | Swiss German & German Tutor | Speak Naturally & Understand Real Swiss German Hello, I’m Thomas from Switzerland 🇨🇭, currently living in Tokyo 🇯🇵. I help learners understand and speak real Swiss German in everyday situations — and feel more confident and comfortable in conversation. I’m a professional Swiss German & German tutor with 5+ years of experience on italki. 👉 My lessons are for students who already speak German (A2+) and want to improve their speaking, listening, and communication skills. (I do not teach complete beginners.) Many learners understand High German but struggle with Swiss German in real life. I know how challenging that can be, and I’ll guide you step by step through it. My main focus is Swiss German, but I also teach High German (Standard German) and help you move naturally between both. My method is simple: we speak a lot. Through relaxed, natural conversations, you improve step by step and build real confidence. During lessons, I support you with: • clear corrections and helpful feedback • vocabulary & natural expressions • grammar explanations when needed I create my own Swiss German learning materials, designed specifically for learners, and run the YouTube channel “Swiss German Storytime”. I also share additional practice and learning resources on Patreon. My goal is to help you feel confident speaking and understanding Swiss German in everyday situations. Feel free to book a lesson — I’d be happy to work with you. Thomas

Bei mir wird gesprochen. Ich rege Gespräche an, indem ich meine Schüler viele Fragen stellen, um zu herauszufinden, wofür sie sich interessieren, was ihre Stärke und Schwäche sind, wie sie am liebsten mit lernen, usw. Von Typ her bin ich äußerst neugierig und höre meinen Schülern sehr genau und mit viel Geduld zu. Wenn man das eigene Lebensgeschichte erzählen kann, kann man auch wohl sehr gut Deutsch reden, weshalb ich ermutige meine Schüler soviel wie möglich von sich selbst zu sagen, wahr oder gelogen.

German & English Tutor | Beginner-Based & Student-Centred Learning I’m passionate about helping students improve their speaking skills and gain confidence using the language in real-life situations. I understand that learning a language can feel stressful, especially when it comes to speaking. Many students know a lot of vocabulary and grammar but feel nervous, shy, or afraid of making mistakes. I’ve been there too, so my goal is to create a comfortable, supportive, and relaxed learning environment where you can speak freely and improve step by step. My lessons are mainly focused on conversation practice, but I always adapt them to each student’s needs and level.
