Hi! I am Dominik, I am a native German speaker from Berlin & have been teaching German informally for a few years now. I teach mostly via simple, comprehensible conversations.
I have an interest in language learning, philosophy & history, and I really enjoy meeting new people and talking about interesting topics around culture (but we can speak about pretty much anything that you find interesting).
I currently also live in Berlin. Before that, I have spent a few years in London & Damascus. Whenever I have some free time, I try to read a lot of philosophy & literature. I have also studied Arabic & French for some time (but I forgot a lot & need to get back into those at some point). :)
Ik als leerkracht
I like to teach German through interesting conversations & dialogues. So, instead of going through grammar topics & speaking a lot of English, I will try to stick to mostly speaking German with you and I encourage you to speak and use as much German as possible as well. I might speak more slowly or explain words to you, but I will stick to German and only speak English if it's absolutely necessary. :)
I am also by the way very happy to practice specific situations with you (buying a ticket at the train station, having a political discussion). Just let me know what you're looking to practice.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I believe that it's important for learners to get used to the language they're learning: I am a big fan of Stephen Krashen's approach to language learning, that is, learning a new language with "comprehensible input".
This is why I will try to get you to speak a lot, and have real conversations with you. I do not teach absolute beginners & I don't do grammar lessons - although we can talk also about grammatical points should they come up. I try to avoid speaking in English, but if you really do not understand something I am also happy to switch to English once in a while. :)

A teacher that I would reccomend to anyone looking to practice their German! He is relaxed and encouraging even when correcting your mistakes and you learn a lot in a short time.

Dominic ist ein besonderes guter Lehrer und führt immer ein gutes Gespräch. Er achtet darauf, was ich brauche, und ist sehr klug in der Art und Weise, wie er mir beibringt. Ich schätze mit ihm reden zu können, und es ist mir klar, dass er immer in das Gespräch vertieft ist.

Dominic is very thoughtful and interesting. He speaks clearly and adjusted his vocabulary to my level. I really enjoyed my conversation with him.
