I'm a German native speaker working at a broadcaster in Germany. I grew up bilingually (German and English) and have been working as a private tutor for more than 10 years. At the University of Cologne, I got a Ph.D. in Political Science. I recently came back from the U.S. where I was a Visiting Scholar at Harvard University for two years. It is my greatest passion to share my love for languages. I love teaching, and I love a good old conversation. Both experienced in the academic realm, as well as in everyday contexts. Explaining things as easily and understandably as possible is part of my job at the broadcaster, which is a key element in my lessons as well.
Ich als Lehrkraft
My first teaching experiences date back to my high school days when I started working as a private tutor. I taught German, English, French and Maths to younger students. Throughout college and my Ph.D. journey, I continued working as a private tutor for both high school students and adults in Germany and abroad. At the University of Cologne (Germany), I gained experiences as a university tutor and gave several workshops on oral presentation skills.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My goal is to respond to the individual needs of each student. Do you want to improve your conversation skills for your next vacation? Become competent in Business German / English for your next work trip? Or write that perfect application in order to land your dream job? The overall focus lies on speaking. Writing assignments are optional. Each lesson, we choose a topic of interest and have a conversation. Having fun while learning is essential for my teaching style. Short-term success is as important as long-term improvements. Let's just start talking!

Deutsch lernen - für Anfänger bis Fortgeschrittene
Liz created a comfortable and engaging environment where I could express myself freely while receiving constructive feedback. It felt more like a natural conversation than a lesson, which is exactly what I was looking for to refine my fluency and confidence :)

Liz is great all around - she's supportive, professional, and attentive throughout our sessions. I'm focusing on conversation, and she's a great conversation partner who has gone above and beyond to ensure that we have material aligned to my interests to discuss in each class. She efficiently provides incisive feedback while we are conversing, both verbally and in the chat. I value both the feedback itself and how she gives it in a way that allows the conversation to keep flowing. I feel motivated after each session, and I'm excited to keep learning with her!

Liz is fantastic! I’ve done a number of lessons with her and she is always well prepared and brings interesting ideas to practice my German. She is very engaged during the lessons and has offered excellent feedback and useful tips to continue learning outside of lessons. I would absolutely recommend anyone take lessons with her!

I enjoyed our first lesson with Liz. We discussed all the important topics like motivation, study plan etc. She was patient and helped to correct my mistakes. I'm looking forward to our next lesson.
