Steff
Certified teacher with over 20 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)

Manuel
Certified linguist (MA) helps with test & interview preparation, Business and Medical German My background is linguistics (Master of Arts) with many years of language teaching experience and an understanding of the structure of languages. In my final thesis I explored how cultural differences are manifested in languages and how they are mistakingly carried into target languages by learners. I have worked as a language teacher on almost all levels (except with toddlers and children). I have taught groups and individuals at university and school level as well as in business environments. Many of my current clients are from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Furthermore, I love languages and constantly try new methods for my own language learning to put me in the shoes of the learner.

Jannik
Teacher with the state exam, a Master of Education & a teaching certificate of the Goethe Institute! As a teacher I have gained a lot of experience in different school types, social classes, but also cultures and countries and therefore I cover a broad spectrum. My wish is to make your learning process as easy as possible, because I can put myself in your situation very well. Due to my teacher training I can fall back on many methodical tools which will make learning easier for you.

Tobias Panthel
German teacher for conversation lessons as well as literature and philosophy sessions As a teacher I see myself as a mediator: I want to help you focus on the important things while being able to answer all your questions. I myself had a lot of bad language teachers (like, really bad) and I want to learn from their mistakes but also my own. So I'm always open to criticism, suggestions and your ideas.

Gerald
One of the most experienced German teachers on italki (more than 4000 lessons) I'm a professional German teacher certified by the renown Goethe Institut. In my experience the biggest problem with learning a language is that the students think they need to get it perfectly right every time they say something. This stops you from talking freely, and makes you fall short of your full potential. In my lessons, I will encourage you to speak without being afraid of making mistakes. I offer different kinds of lessons, some follow a course structure, others are only focused on conversation. Of course it's also possible to mix a structural approach with free speaking.

No duden en hablar en español conmigo, si les ayuda a ustedes a sentirse a gusto en nuestras clases y a aclarar preguntas esenciales. لو تريدون أن تتكلموا بالعربية, سأكون سعيد بمساعدتكم

I like teaching languages, because it always means cultural exchange. Learning languages should be fun and every lesson is tailor-made according to the needs of the student.

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!

I’m a firm believer in the principle of “learning by doing”. If you want to improve your German, you need to spend a lot of time using the German language, speaking it, hearing it, reading it, and writing it. That’s what I want to help you with. My lessons are all about you actively using the German language. I adjust my lessons to your level and your specific goals. I give you feedback about your pronunciation, your grammar, and your choice of words and tell you how to improve. I write down important things from the lesson in a document and send it to you. I offer conversation practice (free conversations or structured conversation praxis), textbook-based lessons, and test preparation.
