Languages have the power to connect people across borders and culturesāa truth Iāve witnessed firsthand throughout my decades of teaching. With over eleven years of experience in online instruction, Iāve honed my ability to make learning German engaging, effective, and deeply personal. My passion for languages goes beyond grammar and vocabulary; itās about fostering meaningful connections through lively discussions on art, music, or everyday life. These conversations not only build fluency but also immerse you in the richness of German culture. My teaching style is warm, patient, and tailored to your goals, whether you are on an intermediate level or refining advanced skills.
Mijn creaties
Ik als leerkracht
I try to adapt to the wishes of my students: Some want to discuss or chat, with others I work on material that I have prepared. I use modern, activating methods that practice various skills, speaking, reading and listening. I have material for different language levels and adapt to the abilities of each individual student. Book a trial lesson, it's going to be fun!
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I like to use paintings, photos or drawings as a basis for discussion in many (not all) of my lessons and I also provide short stories or exercise material that we work on together. The use of a digital pencil on a whiteboard that I share with the student, perfectly mimics the teaching situation of a traditional classroom. After the lesson, the student gets a short video allowing him to revise the lesson steps. The following lesson begins with a short review phase after which we turn to a new topic. Please also take a look at my italki podcast "LearnGermanToday" with worksheets at B2 level.
Christine is an amazing tutor, who put plenty of work to prepare materials - they are interesting and engaging. Time flies very quickly while talking with Christine. I found the exercises also interesting and well prepared - not like your typical grammar workbook. I highly recommend working with this teacher!

Christine is an exceptional teacher, her lessons are very detailed and creative, very effective, and she always draws on the German culture, literature, art and music, something that many language learners struggle to connect with, as there are so many distracting resources nowadays, but the depth and breadth of the German culture is there, but often remains hidden. Thank you very much, Christine, I am looking forward to our next lesson!
