About Me
italki teacher since May 16, 2016InterestsArtMedical & HealthcareSports & FitnessMarketingReading
When you start learning with me, it doesn’t feel like hard homework. You read a short story. It’s fun. You understand more than you thought. You want to keep going. That’s how it works.
Other people are already learning German to get nice jobs, study in Germany, or talk with their relatives. You can do that too. You just have to start.
I help you reach your goal without stress. You’ll feel proud when you understand German, talk to others, or visit new places. And the best part? You’ll actually WANT to finish.
I created this method, so you won't find another teacher who can offer this on italki (or anywhere else).Me as a Teacher
◆ We can start from any level and improve your speaking, reading, listening, and writing
◆ Certified language teacher with 5000+ taught lessons on italki since 2016
◆ Self-taught in Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, and Chinese
➤ See my schedule to find the best time for youMy lessons & teaching style
◾ Learn grammar and new words in small steps
I give you episodes of the learning story I created. PDFs and audio files. Each teaches you a few new words and a little piece of grammar in an entertaining way.
◾ Long-term vocabulary study
You get access to an app with my private vocabulary course. You'll find the words and phrases from our lessons there, adapted for easy learning. And I review them with you at the beginning of each class so you know how to actually use them.
◾ Flexibility
You can bring up your own ideas and materials. We can use books, dialogs, podcasts, online exercises, for example.
◾ Homework
I prepare homework for you, based on your needs.
