Hey i'm Dominic. I teach German and English to both beginners and advanced level students. I'm a native German speaker, and I speak English on near native speaker level. I also have a basic understanding of Hindi and Spanish. I'm good at breaking down complicated concepts in a simple way and making them more easily understandable and intuitive. For the past 10 years I have been mainly travelling, working as a photographer in Germany, Australia and India. I've recently become a partner in a tech startup building an online language learning platform, for which I'm currently designing a German course.
Me as a Teacher
Speaking is the best way to learn a language, so my lessons usually center around having an actual conversation in German, but I will also give you grammar instructions and help you with pronunciation as and when necessary. If you struggle with any particular grammar topic, we can of course also dedicate a whole lesson to that. Generally I'm happy to adapt myself to your needs and preferences. While we talk, I make extensive notes in a google document, I write down new vocabulary with example sentences, grammar instructions, corrections, etc. You'll have access to this document during and after the classes.
My lessons & teaching style
I want to adapt myself to your needs and preferences as a student. Whether you want to just talk, improve your pronunciation or gain a detailed understanding of complicated grammatical structures, I will help you achieve your goals efficiently.
Dominic is a really supportive, productive and professional teacher. He can adapt to my level, take time explaining everything in detail. I really enjoy learning with him.

Excellent lesson. Dominic was interesting to talk to and had a nice ability of correcting the necessary mistakes without too much intervention so we could maintain a good flow of the conversation. He also spoke German during the entire lesson even to explain issues I was struggling with which is very helpful to me as a learner.

Dominic is a highly positive, social and kind instructor, but what persuaded to continue taking lessons with him is his ability to listen and ask for preferences. He actively fine-tunes his approach, which I can't thank him enough for.
