Lotti Ebertz

Lotti is a really great teacher, and I enjoy my lessons with her very much. She is patient, funny, and easygoing, and speaks German slowly enough for me as a beginner to understand. I can recommend her to everyone who wants to improve German skills in a friendly and relaxed environment.

I was honestly really nervous about signing up for iTalki -- I was worried about being put continuously on the spot. But, working with Lotti has been wonderful! She never makes me feel dumb or like I should know better. (I had some bad high school language class experiences, which is why I developed this anxiety.) I especially liked when we reviewed grammar because I really need these reminders. Thank you for being such an excellent tutor, Lotti! I'll be back. :)

Super clear and helpful tuition. I previously learned German in school and speak other Germanic languages, Lotti speaks a lot of German in our lessons, in a clear and understandable way which helps me remember/re-learn in a fun and efficient way. We are currently working through the Menschen books which gives a clear learning plan. Highly recommended.

If you're new to German, then I cannot recommend Lotti more highly! Almost a year ago I learned I would be going to Germany for a month. I arrived to my first lesson speaking barely more than "ein bisschen" (a bit) or "ich verstehe nicht" (I don't understand). I remember Lotti as patient and reassuring in that lesson and in every lesson that followed. I have found my German lessons to be fun, I have told and heard funny stories in German, and I have learned many things about the German language and Germany from Lotti. I am no longer nervous about having conversations in German! I'm looking forward to my trip because Lotti really helped improve my German.

Lotti sprach klar und ermutigte mich zu sprechen.

Lotti is a great teacher; prepared, fun, corrects but does not intimidate :). She also has a way of honing in on what I should be focusing on right now for grammer... I look forward to many further lesson!!
