About Me
italki teacher since Jan 4, 2017Me as a Teacher
My aim is to help you unfold your language learning potential to the fullest. I believe that the more you enjoy learning, the faster and easier you become better at it.
I want to know from you:
What does it take for you to become a successful German speaker?
With me as your teacher you will learn German the most natural way. Just as you did when you learned your mother-tongue or how to ride a bicycle. It all comes down to learning how to do things that you are naturally capable of.My lessons & teaching style
I would like you to try out something new.
Let's leave vocabs and grammar rules aside. Just like riding a bicycle, speaking a language is more about feeling than knowing it. I will show you how to acquire the German language by getting comfortable with it, by playing with it, and by making mistakes in it.
You choose the material - songs, books, movies, jokes, riddles, poems, magazine articles... Anything that you are passionate about, that you enjoy listening to, reading or talking about.
All you need to know is already inside of you. Remember that, as a child, you have done it already. Time to do it again!My teaching material

Very entertaining. Also my first time to meet someone who really cares about my needs and don't abide by a predefined agenda. Also the tips and hacks he gave me for acquiring the target language and assimilating its content are invaluable.

With Jan's "brain friendly" methodology for learning languages I was able to remember all of the words that we discussed and I practiced last week. We have chosen movie and tv show quotes to concentrate on in the last two classes, which is a topic of interest to me - another key to enjoyable and effective learning. Thank you, Jan! See you next week.

Jan is an excellent teacher. His method of explaining words is extremely effective – after his explanations, you never forget the word or its meaning. Many compliments for his outstanding work.

Jan is an exceptional teacher! Not only does he have a unique method of teaching German (or any language for that matter); he is also incredibly knowledgeable in various topics. This makes conversations with him very enjoyable and enlightening. I totally look forward to each lesson and I must admit, I feel almost sad when the lesson is over. It actually feels more like play than work and yet I realize I’m learning. I highly recommend Jan as a teacher. If you’re planning on taking German lessons, definitely give Jan a try.
