BECOME CONVERSATIONAL WITHIN A FEW LESSONS!
Please contact me before booking a lesson!
I have been teaching English and German for 20 years in language institutes, schools, NGOs, workshops, tribal villages, private individual and group lessons, kindergartens, preschools and my two daughters in several countries such as Austria, Germany, India, Nepal, Laos, Thailand, South Korea... I provide tailor made classes. With plenty of experience I teach you German as a language and culture.
I graduated from a language school, then studied anthropology at the Vienna University and currently finish my PhD thesis at the Pune University, India.

BECOME CONVERSATIONAL WITHIN A FEW LESSONS!
I have a wide range of teaching experience, from tribal schools in Thailand and Nepal to elementary schools, kindergarten and an adult language academy in Korea. I like teaching languages because it is always a cultural exchange.
Learning a language should be fun and every lesson is tailor-made according to the needs of the student.
I teach German in an integrated way, grammar, conversation, reading and writing.
I will give you homework and motivate you to learn as well at home.
My motto: There is no inapt student, only teachers who do not know how to teach the individual student effectively!

BECOME CONVERSATIONAL WITHIN A FEW LESSONS!
I have a wide range of materials, from ordinary textbooks, PDF files to children's books, teenager literature, newspapers, games and videos for different age groups. I adjust my teaching method to my students. Students have different expectations and I try to find out what they are. I ask my students for feedback and let them chose the material; try to have a balanced class, grammar, conversation, quiz, games and free talking, reading and writing.
As I have learnt several languages (Russian, English, Latin, Korean, Hindi) myself, I know about difficulties and pitfalls of learning a language.

My kids are longterm students of Lehrer Alex by now as the lessons help building up their German language skills while living abroad. While they always understood German, they struggled to use German in a conversation. With Lehrer Alex help this improved significantly thanks to the engaging teaching method and interesting learning material.

I definitely recommend Alex to anyone looking for a German teacher. Alex is patient, caring, and he's willing to adapt to your needs. He makes sure to provide materials in preparation for each lesson.
I've been taking many German lessons for a long time with Alex as my teacher. Besides always having had fun, I can notice that my German has improved so much!

Alex made great learning plans, and is always thinking about what to add / change. He encourages me to talk more, but doesn’t make me feel pushed (or embarrassed!) I feel recharged instead of exhausted after lessons. Highly recommend.
