Certified Native German Teacher – Speak with Confidence and Enjoy Learning :) Hallo! My name is Kai, I am a native German speaker and a certified German teacher with around ten years of teaching experience. I have taught students from many different countries, both online and in person, from complete beginners to advanced learners. Every lesson is adapted to your personal goals, interests and learning style :) My main goal is to help you actually speak German. Of course, we can also work on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, writing, exam preparation or German for work. But you will always have plenty of opportunities to talk, ask questions, make mistakes and become more confident step by step. My lessons are friendly, relaxed and practical. Mistakes are completely normal and an important part of learning a language, so you never need to feel nervous or embarrassed in my classes :) I speak several foreign languages myself, including English, Romanian, Spanish and Italian. Therefore, I know from personal experience what it is like to learn a new language and can explain difficult topics clearly. We can use textbooks, articles, videos, exercises or conversation topics. Whether you prefer a structured learning plan or mainly want to practise speaking, the lessons are designed around you :) Book a trial lesson and tell me what you would like to achieve. I look forward to meeting you and helping you make real progress in German! :)

back on italki and ready for a pleasant chat with you! The thing which makes my teaching helpful is that I pay attention not only to the lesson itself, but also to the preparation and follow-up tasks which you can receive as a homework assignments. As I work as a teacher in everyday life too, I know how important it is to consider different aspects of methodology and language learning and acquisition such as spaced repetition, student talking time, different kinds of approaches, i.e., lexical, and other. I see learning a language through the lens of a learner as well. I fluently speak 3 languages and am at the moment learning 2 more!

I have several years of teaching experience especially with children aged between 12 and 16. My aim is to make language learning fun and efficient for everyone focusing mostly on conversations about every day life topics. The most important thing for me is to take your fear away and support you to become confident speaking your target language. I'm calm and patient and try to correct mistakes at the end of the conversation instead of interrupting my students in the middle of a sentence since making mistakes is unavoidable yet essential if you want to become fluent in a language.

Certified Language Assessor | Structured German | Business & Fluency Hi, I’m Tobias - Professional Teacher & Language Assessor 🎓 Effective language learning starts with diagnostic feedback. Most learners plateau because they lack a systematic analysis of their errors. As a language assessor conducting exams for global corporations, I evaluate your competence at a professional level. I pinpoint error patterns instantly to transform them into strengths. Why My Method Works: ✅ The Assessor’s Edge: I apply international corporate standards to every lesson. You get a clear analysis of your speech and writing to refine your precision. ✅ Flipped Classroom: We do not waste time on lectures. You prepare materials beforehand; in class, we focus 100% on active application. ✅ Live Documentation: Your personal Google Doc serves as a live protocol for vocabulary and corrections through my assessor lens. ✅ Extemporaneous Speaking: I use constant questioning to turn your prepared knowledge into real-time, fluent speech. This builds the confidence needed for professional communication. ✅ Logic and Examples: I explain grammar hurdles using the underlying system and plenty of examples until the structure becomes intuitive. What to Expect: A structured, results-driven environment for adults seeking professional success. I make German manageable through calm, high-level expertise. ⚠️ Note: My calendar is typically booked 2–3 weeks in advance. I recommend booking packages to secure slots for consistent progress. Let’s reach your goals together! 🚀

✹PROFESSIONAL NATIVE GERMAN TEACHER WITH PASSION✹ I started teaching German to international students in 2009 as a private tutor during my university studies. During that time I realized that this is my true passion, because I love to work with people and seeing progress in my students makes me feel proud and truly happy. After graduation I took several courses to become a professional teacher and soon got a job at a reputable high school in Taiwan. Besides teaches classes, I still tutor private students and currently I am on a temporary leave to travel the world, while still tutoring online and funding my dream through italki.
