As a former business lawyer at Stuttgart’s stock exchange, I’ve mastered breaking down language barriers in high-stakes environments—now I channel that precision into teaching German. My own journey as a multilingual traveler (English C2, Portuguese C1, Russian B2) fuels my immersive approach: whether you’re preparing for a job interview, a test, or casual conversation, I’ll tailor lessons to your goals. Let’s turn challenges into confidence, one conversation at a time.
Ik als leerkracht
You can expect an attentive teacher, who will carefully listen to you and provide you with helpful feedback and advice. All this feedback and new concepts/words/expressions learned I will write down for you in a Google Doc. I am always genuinely interested in my student's topics and therefore I know that we will find a common ground on which we can conduct our productive lessons. In general, I am a teacher who can talk about anything and use every moment as an example for teaching purposes. Last but not least you can expect a teacher with a high command of the German language and an ample repertoire of speech expressions.

Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lessons focus primarily on the ability to speak and secondarily on grammar in order to reinforce the learning process. There will always be a determined effort on my side to create a relaxing environment in our lessons. With that and my ongoing support, I am sure that you will be speaking abundantly from the first lesson on.
Since repetition and the knowledge of basic structures are very important for quickly learning a language, I make it a habit to use the same words and language structures repetitively in my lessons after introducing them to my students.
At the beginning of the lesson, we will probably talk about your day in order to warm up and practice some small talk.

I have been working on learning German with Valerio for a few months now, and couldn't imagine a better experience learning the language. He is extremely knowledgeable, and answers all my questions in a clear and easily understood way. He has made the learning process easy through his well structured lessons, provided materials, and supportive demeanor. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their language abilities.

I had a great experience with Valerio. He was incredibly patient and able to carry out a client conversation as well as pick out your mistakes and make suggestions at the same time. He very willingly adapted the sessions to my needs and I had a positive score in my B1 exam as a result!
Thanks Valerio!

The trial lesson with Valerio was very encouraging. He worked to validate my current level of speaking German, and encouraged me to speak as little English as possible, noting new words for me to add to my list. He has a good sense of humor and is so comfortable to work with. I've already scheduled my "real" next lesson and look forward to many more.

I always enjoy the immediate feedback on the oral grammar mistakes I make. Also the materials and homework is very useful for learning new vocabulary and practicing grammar. Thanks, Valerio!
