Limited availabilities through October 9th. I guess what‘s note-worthy for you all is that I‘ve dabbled a ton in foreign languages over the past decade and therefore can relate to various study/progress scenarios. It was always very important for me to enjoy my studies and get in touch with natives of the languages and dive into their culture, instead of an old-school classroom/textbook approach. Unless they have a specific request, I usually improvise conversations with my students. FYI: I do NOT use a camera for my classes as I strongly believe you can become a master speaker when there's no visual cues to distract you. Super easy-going and open-minded, yet truly wish my students can feel that they‘ve made progress which each and every lesson and therefore I’m lazer-focussed 100% of the time! ________ I frequently adjust my schedule each month.

Architektin mit deutsch-französischer Erfahrung | Deutsch im Gespräch Vorstellung und Unterrichtskonzept Deutsch lernen – im Gespräch über Architektur, Kunst und Kultur Ich bin Ute, komme aus Deutschland und habe neun Jahre in Frankreich gelebt. Durch meine enge Verbindung zu Frankreich bin ich mit beiden Kulturen sehr vertraut und spreche Französisch. Als Architektin begeistern mich Architektur, Kunst und Kultur. Diese Themen möchte ich als Ausgangspunkt für einen lebendigen und strukturierten Konversationsunterricht nutzen. Mein Unterricht richtet sich besonders an französischsprachige Lernende ab Niveau B1, die sicherer, flüssiger und natürlicher Deutsch sprechen möchten. Im Mittelpunkt steht das aktive Gespräch. Gemeinsam betrachten wir zum Beispiel Bauwerke, Kunstwerke oder Stadträume in Deutschland und Frankreich, tauschen Eindrücke aus und diskutieren unterschiedliche Sichtweisen. Dabei erweitern die Lernenden ihren Wortschatz und entwickeln mehr Sicherheit im freien Sprechen. Sprachliche Fragen und typische Fehler greifen wir direkt aus dem Gespräch auf. Der Unterricht findet überwiegend auf Deutsch statt. Bei Bedarf kann ich Erklärungen auf Französisch ergänzen. Mein Ziel ist es, Freude am Sprechen zu vermitteln und den Lernenden zu helfen, sich zunehmend sicher und selbstverständlich auf Deutsch auszudrücken.

Not sure where to start or how to feel more confident speaking German? Good. That's where we begin. Hi, I'm Heike. I’ve been teaching German online since 2016, and what I enjoy most is that moment when something suddenly clicks and learners realise: “I can actually do this.” I work with all levels, but I have a soft spot for beginners. I hold a Magistra Artium in Ethnology, Archaeology & Sociology, and yes, I worked as an archaeologist in Peru. That background shapes how I teach: language is not just grammar, but culture, history and people. In my lessons, you speak from day one. We work with real-life situations and build your confidence step by step. A shared Google Doc keeps everything in one place. For grammar, I use Deutschfuchs. Homework is optional, but it really helps. Hola, soy Heike. Enseño alemán online desde 2016, y lo que más me gusta es ese momento en que algo encaja y el estudiante piensa: “sí puedo hacerlo”. Trabajo con todos los niveles, pero tengo especial cariño por principiantes. ¿No sabes por dónde empezar? Por ahí empezamos. Tengo una Magistra Artium en Etnología, Arqueología y Sociología, y sí, trabajé como arqueóloga en Perú. Esa experiencia define mi enfoque: el idioma no es solo gramática, sino cultura, historia y personas. En mis clases hablas desde el primer día. Trabajamos con situaciones reales y construimos tu confianza paso a paso. Un Google Doc compartido lo guarda todo. Para la gramática uso Deutschfuchs. Explico con claridad, hago las preguntas adecuadas y doy feedback honesto. Los deberes son opcionales, pero ayudan de verdad.

Unfortunately, I can’t accept new students at the moment. Lovely students, please reach out to me before booking your first lesson – receiving requests without knowing who you are is like prescribing medicine without meeting the patient! I’m 38 years old with teaching experience in medicine, physiotherapy students and in preparing international medical professionals for language exams. I’m amazed by the human body and love sharing knowledge. Medicine is wonderful but challenging – especially in a new country. I’m here to lend you a helping hand along the way I want to encourage my students to speak a lot. My lessons are a dialogue, not a monologue. Explaining something yourself makes it easier to understand. Speaking a foreign language can feel uncomfortable at first, but practice in a relaxed atmosphere makes it easier. I provide a safe space where students can try things out without embarrassment Ich möchte meine Schüler ermutigen, viel zu sprechen. Mein Unterricht ist ein Dialog, kein Monolog. Wer selbst präsentiert, versteht Prozesse leichter. Fremdsprachen zu sprechen ist anfangs oft unangenehm, doch Übung in entspannter Atmosphäre macht es leichter. Ich biete meinen Schülern einen geschützten Rahmen, in dem sie sich ausprobieren können. Sprechen, sprechen, sprechen … je mehr der Schüler spricht, desto besser! Speak, speak, speak… the more the student speaks, the better! Hablar, hablar, hablar… ¡cuanto más hable el alumno, mejor!

Native Speaker – Personalized Lessons, Fun Learning with Creative Materials, Grammar & Test Prep! In Germany, I studied Art, Theater and Biology to become a teacher for high school students in these subjects. While living in Germany, I worked at different schools and I happened to teach more than what I studied for. For example, I gained experience as a German teacher for children with migration background and was head of class at a Montessori School. All wonderful experiences. I always tried to find suitable teaching methods for the different types of learning and individual needs to achieve the learning goals with the students together. And I'm always happy to learn more myself, too.

I specialise in test preparation (Goethe-Zertifikat, TestDaF, telc, ÖSD, fide, etc.). I have been teaching German online since 2016. Prior to that, I taught German at one of the leading language schools in Berlin for over six years to build my teaching skills and experience.

I offer both general German language lessons and specific courses of grammar, conversation, writing, test preparation and interview preparation. My focus is on intermediate and advanced German learners, who need a higher level of accuracy and fluency in terms of exposition, argumentation and self-expression.
