PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BOOKING A CLASS REGARDING THE TIME! THANK YOU!

During the trial lesson I will check your language ability and we will work out a tailor-made class specifically for YOU! The more information you provide to me before class, the better I can prepare for our first lesson! I will send you material before class, a text or a video. When you have time read it respectively watch the video. If you have no time, you do not have to, but it would help me to gauge your German level and thus create a better learning plan for you. 
See you soon!

Hello!
Please contact me regarding the time before booking. Thank you!
I prepare kids for the MIKA test as well.
I offer you a lot of material (PDF files, links, videos) and recommend as well different textbooks for my tailor-made lessons for all levels, from kindergarten to university. Basically I will teach you grammar, conversation, writing and reading, but your lesson will be created according to your needs. Some of you would like to prepare for an exam, others strengthen their conversation skills or improve their grammar. I will give you homework and guide you how to learn German independently at home so that you can improve your language abilities as well outside my class.

Austrian German

Please contact me regarding the time before booking. Thank you!
Lessons for children are very individual. I got several books (e.g. Hueber) for children and youngsters (A1.1, A1.2, A2.2 for kids). In a playful manner we will learn German with online games, picture stories, videos, worksheets and teaching material plus books specifically designed for children of different age groups (one for children and one for youth). Having myself two daughters whom I taught German (We live in South Korea and India) I know how much effort it takes to teach children. I have taught children in kindergarten and am currently teaching English in a primary school in South Korea. 
I only teach German to children who either know English or Korean. The length of the lesson depends on the language level of the child. A1 (beginners) are taught only 30 minute classes.

I have gotten this certificate because I was working as a German teacher in this institute, teaching kids conversation, exam preparation, grammar, writing and reading. I was working as a teacher  for a year in a kindergarden and another year in an elementary school in Korea. On italki I have been teaching in the last 6 years almost 3000 classes for kids.

I was working as a teacher in this language institue and prepared elementary, middle, high school students and adults for Goethe institute exams, iGCSE German exam, DSD, integration exams for moving to another country, MIKA test, and German international schools. On italki I have been preparing kids and adults since 6 years in almost 2000 classes.

I was teaching in an elementary school and this gave me the possibility to explore many group games and improve their language skills with games and activities. I teach a lot of kids on italki and this offline experience helped me to create flexible learning plans for them.

I was preparing elementary, middle, high school students and adults for Goethe institute exams, iGCSE German exam, integration exams for moving to another country, MIKA test, and German international schools and was as well teaching conversation, grammar, writing, listening and reading.

I was teaching in the kindergarden children between 3 and 6 years. Interactive games, songs, outdoor games, writing for the elder children, learning words through online and offline games, starting conversation.

In a tribal village of the Lahu tribe near Maesalong right on the border to Myanmar I was teaching English. It was really challenging, but helped me to get experience teaching kids with almost no material apart from a blackboard and white chalk.

In a small village called Nawalpur in Sindhupalchowk District in Bagmati Province of central Nepal I was teaching English in an elementary school. The area was occupied by the Maois guerilla at that time. There was no running water and electricity and during the rainy season there was water in the classroom. The kids were eager to learn and very attentive. In the afternoon there came some students and asked me to help them with their homework. Some of them brought corn and vegetables as payment.

While I was working with an NGO called Magres in India, I was as well teaching English in a tribal village in the forest in the Palani hills, Tamil Nadu in India. It did not only spark my interest in teaching, but showed me a way of getting in touch with other cultures through teaching. You give back to the community, it gives you a place in the community.

Teaching in an elementary school helped me to understand what Korean kids, teachers and parents expect from a teacher. This is important especially when teaching people of different backgrounds, because expectations do not only vary indivdually, but as well from culture to culture. The learning experience of students is important and needs to be addressed and considered.
