As a German teacher and language assessor with extensive 1:1 experience, I offer precise, personalized feedback that supports your goals - whether you want natural conversation skills, strong professional communication or a confident start in a German‑speaking environment.
I quickly identify strengths and key challenges, helping you make steady, noticeable progress through clear explanations, practical strategies and focused support tailored to your learning style.
My teaching style combines clarity, patience and encouragement. Lessons create a trusting space where you can take risks, build confidence and develop lasting fluency in a way that feels structured, motivating and achievable. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lessons are conversation‑focused, practical and tailored to your goals.
In a friendly, motivating setting, we train German for real‑life and professional situations - from everyday chats to workplace communication and interviews.
When helpful, I integrate authentic materials such as articles, audio clips or short case studies to expand vocabulary, deepen cultural understanding and make learning more engaging.
Each session follows a clear structure, adapts to your current needs and combines concise explanations with supportive feedback - helping you build confident German you can use immediately.Mijn lesmateriaal

Tobias is everything you’d want in a German tutro: He is patient, knowledgeable, and fun, but moreover, he is someone you’d want to have a conversation with -in any language. I can’t recommend him enough.
Tobias ist alles, was man sich von einem Deutschlehrer wünschen kann: Er ist geduldig, kenntnisreich und sein Unterricht macht viel Spaß. Außerdem ist er jemand, mit dem man sich gerne unterhält – egal, welche Sprache man spricht! Ich kann Tobias wärmstens empfehlen.
