I am a German Language Instructor and Language Coach. If you want to learn German or improve your German, I can provide you with the information you need and practice with you. I can also advise you on studying strategies and techniques. I teach all levels, from zero to proficient, adults as well as kids. Please read the section "My lessons and teaching style" for further details and then, if you want to meet me and discuss the details, book a trial lesson with me. Looking forward to meeting you!
Me as a Teacher
I became a certified language teacher in 2007. I started off as a teacher for English and German in Argentina, teaching general and business language at language institutes, private schools, in-company and to individual students. After returning to Germany I continued in this field and also got a degree in Educational Science, which included subjects of education, individual development, psychology and sociology with a focus on extension studies and lifelong learning.
My lessons & teaching style
I am well versed in German grammar and I can provide adult learners with specific lessons. Above a basic level, we can also do a primarily communicative approach with conversation supported by explanations. I don't use textbooks but instead create personalized lessons and material that is relevant to the student. If you would like to work with texts or sentence analysis in order to gain a deeper understanding of the language, we can do that as well.
I don't offer formal lessons for younger children, here I work exclusively with a communicative approach. Teenagers can have grammar lessons with me.
I prepare my classes well and in line with the learner's skill set, knowledge and goals.

Esther is a great teacher. She is really focused and structured. She provides excellent tactics to learn more efficiently and build up your speaking skills. She is always well prepared, on time, and makes the lesson interactive. The time passes by quickly and pleasantly. If you want to notice a quick improvement in speaking German or start learning more productively without getting lost in lots of material, you should book a lesson!

Today I took a language coaching session for the first time with Esther. I found it really helpful to reflect on my learning to date and set some goals for development. It has given me some great practical ideas on how I can improve my German speaking skills. Thanks Esther!

This was my third lesson with Esther and as per the previous two, it was quite simply an excellent lesson, we covered a lot of ground but without me being overwhelmed.
Esther's unique approach to teaching is helping me to get to grips with German better than I expected and I'm confident under her guidance I will continue to progress.
It's not easy learning a language when you're older but with her help and experience, things are definitely going in the right direction.
Thank you Esther.

Esther was able to tailor my lessons to my specific needs. I have a job interview in a German-speaking area and she was able to help me prepare. I'm sure I'll continue my lessons with her even after my interview!
