italki leerkracht sinds 22 Aug 2019
InterestsGamingSportHistoryScienceReizen
I was born in Germany and moved to the United States when I was twenty. I have been teaching while pursuing my acting career in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Germany. I have taught adults and children from many backgrounds for more than 25 years.
I teach German and English at all levels, and beginners in French and Japanese.
My teaching is clear, encouraging, and structured. Students describe me as patient, positive, and easy to understand. I want you to feel safe speaking, making mistakes, and improving step by step.
What makes my approach special is that I use language-learning principles inspired by how institutions such as the CIA and FBI train languages: quick recall, immediate sentence building, and active speaking from the beginning.
The key is not just memorizing words, but using them instantly. We practice vocabulary through interval recall while forming real sentences, so your brain learns to retrieve the language naturally.
I also use pictures for simple prompt-and-response conversations. This helps even beginners speak from the start: I show or describe something, ask guided questions, and help you answer in complete sentences.

Celine is without a doubt among the most extraordinary teachers I have ever encountered in a long life of language study. And a gem of a human being

Celine is an amazing teacher. In just 4 sessions, I feel like I've already learned so much from her. She's patient, articulate, and very keen. Her teaching method of layering words onto sentences has really helped me to retain all the vocabulary! I look forward to every lesson that I have with her!! If you want to learn from her, she's the one!

Celine was very easy to work with, speak with, and patient. Plus obviously knowledgeable in how to handle beginner speakers who are nervous.

I have taken classes with Celine for about two and a half years now. First, she taught me German and now she is teaching me French from German. She is excellent at explaining grammar and always makes sure that her classes are fun. Our classes are always filled with laughter and good vibes.

It has been a joy to reconnect with Celine for daily German classes. She is a gifted and enthusiastic conversationalist, keeping every session lively throughout. I'm about to embark on a trip to Germany, putting my practice into practice! :-) Thank you Celine!

i have never encountered a better, more skilled, more kind (and funny!) language teacher, and I have worked with dozens.
