Interest topicScienceMedical & HealthcareFilms & TV Series
I am Martina, 28 years old, German-Italian, and my bilingual upbringing raised my profound interest in languages in the first place. I have a Bachelor's and a Master's in Psychology, and worked as a researcher in academia. I have already lived in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Portugal. Previously, I worked at a psychiatric hospital, as a babysitter, in customer service, and as a tutor for different subjects and age groups. My interests include literature, personal development, culture, theater and acting, movies, health… I mainly teach in the evening (CET) and on weekends. If you need other times, please contact me :)

Ik als leerkracht
I am curious, open-minded, and flexible, meaning that I always try to adapt to my student's needs. I believe that the more fun you have, the better you learn! My main focus is a conversation; however, I am open to going through single grammar topics and adapt my lessons accordingly.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I first assess my student's level and talk about their needs, language history, and how they enjoy learning. I use a Google doc where we keep track of what we do during the lesson and essential rules, vocabulary, exercises, etc. Furthermore, I have a bunch of grammar exercises and some beginner learning books. I am open to whatever my students want to work on. I also like to read and discuss newspaper articles, cultural issues, and books. I like having a rough plan about the structure of upcoming lessons, and then to "go with the flow".
I really enjoy our lessons with Martina! She is very smart, motivating and supportive. I never feel embarrassed of making mistakes at our lessons, and it's very important when you're looking for a good teacher. Thank you Martina! I'll definitely keep having more and more lessons.

Martina ist eine sehr entspannte et energetische Lehrerin. Mit ihr zu sprechen war mega schön und erfüllend! Ich habe so viel gelernt vom ihr und sie hat mir geholfen, mehr zu reflektieren. Ich füllt mich sehr gut nach unserer Gespräche! Vielen Dank für dein Zeit und dein Klarheit!

I really enjoyed my 30 min trial! Martina was patient and kind. I appreciated her willingness to allow me to search for the words I needed but had trouble calling into use (it was really my first time 'chatting' with someone in german and I was nervous!). I would definitely recommend her to folks who need a kind-hearted teacher and I will definitely schedule another lesson!
