Native German teacher | 4+ years experience | DLL-certified (Goethe-Institut) In 2020, I started working as a science teacher at an international school, teaching children aged 8–12. After completing a 120-hour TEFL course, I also began tutoring English privately for kids. Through these experiences, I discovered how much I enjoy teaching and supporting students in their learning journey. That’s why I decided to focus on the language I feel most at home with—German. I’ve now been teaching German on italki for over four years, working with learners from all around the world. In 2024, I also successfully completed the DLL (Deutsch Lehren Lernen) course at the Goethe-Institut, which further strengthened my skills as a language teacher.

Certified teacher with over 25 years of teaching experience I am a very patient teacher with a good sense of humour, who is convinced, that it's a lot easier to learn a language, while having a good time :o) Before we start with the lessons, I will evaluate your current level and your goals with learning the language. I will also find out what kind of exercises and assignments you prefer, as I am aware, that every student needs a different approach. During many years of teaching German as a second language I gathered a big pool of different teaching materials and I will find the right stuff to get you on track in a fun and easy way :o)

One of the most experienced German teachers on italki – with nearly 5,000 lessons taught I'm a certified German teacher (Goethe-Institut) with years of experience helping students of all levels and backgrounds. One of the biggest blocks I see in learners is the pressure to speak perfectly. That mindset holds you back. My job is to help you feel safe, supported, and encouraged to speak freely — fluent, not flawless ;-) I offer different lesson types: - Fully structured courses (great if you’re starting from zero) - Conversation-focused sessions (with or without materials) - A mix of both — customized to your goals No matter where you're starting from, we'll build lessons that fit you personally.

Native German teacher, 9+ years of experience in the areas pronunciation, test preparation/ business ✔ If you are beginner, we will start with pronunciation first and then build grammar from there - that is the only way to sound native-like and avoid mistakes in the long run! ✔ If you are intermediate, I'll also give you a basic understanding of the German sounds to increase your awareness, with a special focus on the sounds you don't have in your native language ("sound gaps"). ✔ Throughout my lessons, I like to refer back to the individual sounds /aka "building blocks" of the German language - this has lead to great results for many of my students! ✔ I like you to find and correct your own (pronunciation) mistakes before I correct you (silent way approach)

Test preparation, beginners of all ages, scientifically & culturally interested advanced students. I am a NASM certified personal trainer, classical musician, language and literature teacher, translator and editor. I first taught at the private Colegio Humboldt Caracas in Venezuela, where I was living to work with musicians from the El Sistema orchestras. In addition to preparing students for their DSD I & II, I was an examiner for the speaking segments of these tests. Since then, I taught pupils of all age groups and proficiency levels – currently students of Nanchang University, for whom I give courses in German culture, literature and linguistics. I closely follow scientific and technological developments out of pure interest, but as a side effect, we will never be short of topics ;) BEGINNERS: We will learn useful everyday vocabulary and grammar in easy steps by solving interactive exercises on DEUTSCHFUCHS. ADVANCED STUDENTS: We will improver your fluency by talking/writing about topics that interest you, and by discussing short articles that we read to prepare for more advanced lessons. EXAM PREP: We will practice with official exams and learn how to save time and brainpower while completing them. Time is money – as is language proficiency. My lessons aren`t the cheapest, but they offer great value. My students pass their exams. Upon request and free of charge, I will open a premium DEUTSCHFUCHS account for you, which you can access 24/7 even after we complete our course. My lesson times are priced equivalently; choose according to your preference :)
