Hi there! Nicola here, sending warm greetings from Berlin. It's fantastic to have you visit my profile!
At italki, I'm driven by a genuine love for language learning and teaching—a passion that strongly drives my life since several years. My curiosity extends to various fields including photography, mindfulness, spirituality, music, and the beauty of nature. I'm eager to dive into these subjects or any other passions that spark your interest. I view italki as a wonderful stage for exploring the intricate layers of languages and the joy of cultural exchange. I'm all about living through these enriching experiences and can't wait to share them with you.

Me as a Teacher
Some say "German is difficult". I'm here to change that general viewpoint. My teaching approach is grounded in informality and flexibility, focusing on what you need to thrive. We'll lean into the natural process of language acquisition, where missteps are part of the learning curve, not something to fear. Together, we'll build a learning environment that celebrates progress over perfection, encouraging you to speak and grow with every lesson.
Mein Unterricht ist meistens informell gehalten und auf dich zugeschnitten (wenn es möglich ist) In meinem Unterricht versuche ich, die natürliche Art des Erlernen einer neuen Sprache zu verkörpern.
My lessons & teaching style
The fear of making mistakes should never be a barrier to language learning. In my lessons, I offer a casual, personalized learning experience that aligns with your individual needs, ensuring a natural growth in language proficiency. We'll navigate the path of learning together, making sure that the process feels as organic and enjoyable as possible
Ich bin ein geduldiger Lehrer und passe meinen Unterricht gerne an die Interessen und Bedürfnisse meiner Schüler an. Mir ist es sehr wichtig, dass du dich in meinem Unterricht wohlfühlen kannst und auch Fehler zulässt, denn ohne Fehler zuzulassen kann man sich auch nicht verbessern. Spaß und Neugier sind essentiell.

Since I started Italki, he has been my go-to German teacher. His lecture is well organized and structured. The best is that he focuses on what I need from the class. I needed somebody that I can practice speaking with, and his classes have been very helpful.
I have been taking classes with him regularly for more than one year, and he prepares the classes nicely and leads an organized lecture.
I will take his classes in 2024 as well, and I strongly recommend him.

Nico is an amazing teacher. He very quickly gauged my language level and began teaching me from there. His method of correcting my mistakes is always helpful and effective. Nico is very easy to talk to and shows genuine interest in the conversations and lessons. I've only had three lessons with him and can already tell that I have advanced. I will continue to see him for many more lessons and very highly recommend him.

Nicola is a fantastic teacher who is always ready to go the extra mile for his students. He is conversationally excellent and charming to deal with, punctual and scrupulous. Anyone who wants to learn German at any level would be challenged to find someone more suitable than Nicola.
