Let's get to know each other and find the learning style that works best for you! During our trial lesson, we'll assess your current German level, discuss your goals, and create a plan to help you succeed.

Do you learn best by speaking from the very beginning? Or do you prefer a structured overview of grammar before putting together your own sentences? Maybe learning new vocabulary comes naturally to you, or perhaps grammar is your strength already.

Whatever your starting point, I'll tailor our lessons to your individual needs and learning style. Together, we'll build your confidence, improve your German step by step, and make learning this beautiful language both effective and enjoyable. I can't wait to help you on your German learning journey!

Planning a trip to Germany? In this lesson, you'll learn the essential German you need to make the most of your holiday and feel more confident while travelling.

We'll start with the most useful vocabulary and everyday phrases, including places, directions, food and drinks, transportation, and more. Then we'll put your new skills into practice with realistic scenarios, such as ordering a drink at a bar, checking into a hotel, asking for directions, or shopping.

If you're travelling for a specific purpose—whether it's a business trip, a city break, visiting friends or family, or something completely different—I'll tailor our lessons to your needs.

Together, we'll make sure you arrive in Germany feeling well prepared and ready to enjoy your trip!

German for Travel

Ready to start learning German from scratch? This course is designed for complete beginners and will give you a solid foundation to build your confidence step by step.

We'll start with the essentials, including pronunciation, useful everyday vocabulary, and the basics of German grammar. Together, we'll cover topics such as:

The three grammatical genders (der, die, das)
The nominative, accusative, and dative cases
Present tense (Präsens)
The perfect tense (Perfekt – "ich habe gemacht")
Simple future (Futur I)

Every lesson includes plenty of speaking practice, so you'll start using German from the very beginning. We'll build your knowledge gradually, making sure you understand each topic before moving on to the next.

I'll adapt the lessons to your pace and learning style - I will do my best in making these sessions as enjoyable and enriching as possible!

Deutsch von Null! German from Zero!

Already taking a German course but wish you had more one-to-one support? I'm here to help!

These lessons are designed to complement your language classes. Together, we'll review the topics you've recently covered, revisit grammar that still feels confusing, and practise until you feel confident using it.

Whether you're struggling with the dative case, verb placement, tenses, or simply need more speaking practice, I'll explain everything at your own pace and answer any questions you may have.

You decide what you'd like to focus on each lesson. Bring your class notes, textbook exercises, or homework, and we'll work through them together in a relaxed and encouraging environment.

This course is perfect if you:

- Attend a German language school or university course
- Want extra practice between classes
- Need help understanding grammar
- Would like to build confidence in speaking German

My goal is to help you understand German and not just memorize it, so you can feel more confident in your classes and make steady progress.

Sprich Deutsch! / German Speaking Practice

I worked with people affected by mental illnesses, in a group home. I supported them in planning their activities, helping them to set and achieve their own goals, and learned how to balance the needs of different people whose communication styles vary substantially.

I helped run Deutschpub - a community-run German speaking group. Every Tuesday people of varying degrees of proficiency in German gather at a bar to practice their German. This is because they would otherwise not get the opportunity to do so in their normal day-to-day life as standard German is rarely used in German-Switzerland. I would welcome new faces, make sure nobody felt left out of the conversation, and helped others express themselves when stuck, staying in German as much as possible.
