Take the opportunity to meet me for a quick chat about your language learning needs and see if we are a good match! Let's meet for about 10-20 minutes and talk about your needs, what you want to learn and how quickly! 

We can talk about your learning style (visual, auditory, etc.), test our communication tools (Skype, Whatsapp, iTalki Classroom, Zoom), I will provide you with all the materials you need (grammar books, workbooks, audio, video, lists and apps) and get you ready to reach your goals as fast as possible!

As an alternative: If you already know what you want to do, you know your level and you have your own material, then feel free to skip the trial lesson and go directly to a regular lesson - you can send me a text message about everything you have planned instead, and we can start straight away. I don't need any preparation for new students, I'm always ready to go!

It doesn't matter if you want to learn languages just for fun, or if you want to improve your career by improving your language skills - these lessons are for you! These lessons are conversation-based, and I'll give you everything you need to get started: new words to learn, useful phrases for everyday situations, and expert tips.

German - - -  Conversation Practise

Exam preparation: DSH, TestDaF and Goethe

These lessons can be used for exam preparation. I regularly train students for the DSH, TestDaF and Goethe Institute exams, which cover all CEFR levels from A1 to C2 for German, and the IELTS / TOEFL exams for English. These exams are required for immigration/integration or entry into higher or tertiary education.

These lessons can also be booked to focus on: Grammar, Vocabulary & Pronunciation

Grammar - Master the Basics or Become an Expert: I'll give you all the resources you need to become a language expert and teach you how to establish an ongoing workflow for effective language learning. Learning grammar is difficult, and my first piece of advice is always to take it one step at a time, becoming confident with the basics and then moving on to more complicated topics.

Vocabulary - Learn hundreds of new words fast: I can help you manage your workflow, which can include learning and memorizing new words at a high rate per day to rapidly expand your vocabulary in a matter of weeks. I have a 1000-word list we can use that covers all the basics, and I can customize the lessons whenever you need specific vocabulary to become an expert on any topic.

Pronunciation - sound like a native speaker: I can teach you very specific pronunciation techniques used by actors, singers and business professionals. My accent reduction lessons will help you communicate more clearly and confidently. I will give you the tools and expertise to develop a perfect accent. I'll teach you how to move your mouth, make new sounds and sound like a native speaker. We'll use the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) and a chart that shows the different sounds in each language.

This is page two of my CELTA certificate, and it is a full report of my teaching abilities in 2010.

I completed a 5-year Bachelor course in Engineering.

I taught approx. 7500 hours in Berlin, 25% of those were German ranging from A1 - B2 and 75% for Business English for advanced students. Approximately 10% of the total hours were done online, the rest were in group classes on-site.

I was employed as a language trainer, teaching Business English to small classes of Japanese students from mixed backgrounds, and varying levels of experience.
