About Me
italki teacher since Sep 28, 2020Interest topicSports & FitnessMedical & HealthcareTravel
Hi, I'm Markus from Switzerland. Well, I actually live in Central America today, but I'm a genuine Swiss and speak German. I'm really good at German because I'm not only an experienced teacher but also a professional translator and proofreader. I'm a patient and friendly person and always see to it that the students feel at ease.Me as a Teacher
I also pay attention to details such as absolutely correct grammar and orthography. That doesn't mean, however, that my lessons are dry. I'm always ready for a joke to make a lesson fun. My students also appreciate my famous drawings that explain a language problem in a fun and easy-to-remember way. That's why my students call me Markus Picasso.
You can study any level with me, even Telc exam preparations (I'm an official Telc exam expert).My lessons & teaching style
I try to make the lessons exciting and varied. I'm not a friend of just teaching grammar. I make you speak, read, write and listen and encourage you to just try and go ahead. You don't have to be afraid of making mistakes. Since I know various languages, I can also understand why students make certain mistakes and explain accordingly. Homework is usually also part of my lessons.My teaching material

The trial session with Markus was very useful and entertaining. As I started German from scratch, he provided me with materials to follow the class and practice some exercises. Thank you Markus!
