First of all, I’m a passionate language learner myself. In my travels around the world, I have learned to quickly comprehend other points of view, which is very helpful when meeting my students and teaching them German. Before teaching German full-time to students all around the world, I was a professional business lawyer. Working for the stock exchange of Stuttgart has been my longest endeavor in this field and there I have learned how to overcome language barriers in international communications. Since then I have developed strongly my communication and teaching skills and am very happy about being able to effectively teach my students German.
Ich als Lehrkraft
You can expect an attentive teacher, who will carefully listen to you and provide you with helpful feedback and advice. All this feedback and new concepts/words/expressions learned I will write down for you in a Google Doc. I am always genuinely interested in my student's topics and therefore I know that we will find a common ground on which we can conduct our productive lessons. In general, I am a teacher who can talk about anything and use every moment as an example for teaching purposes. Last but not least you can expect a teacher with a high command of the German language and an ample repertoire of speech expressions.

Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons focus primarily on the ability to speak and secondarily on grammar in order to reinforce the learning process. There will always be a determined effort on my side to create a relaxing environment in our lessons. With that and my ongoing support, I am sure that you will be speaking abundantly from the first lesson on.
Since repetition and the knowledge of basic structures are very important for quickly learning a language, I make it a habit to use the same words and language structures repetitively in my lessons after introducing them to my students.
At the beginning of the lesson, we will probably talk about your day in order to warm up and practice some small talk.

I have been working on learning German with Valerio for a few months now, and couldn't imagine a better experience learning the language. He is extremely knowledgeable, and answers all my questions in a clear and easily understood way. He has made the learning process easy through his well structured lessons, provided materials, and supportive demeanor. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their language abilities.

I had a great experience with Valerio. He was incredibly patient and able to carry out a client conversation as well as pick out your mistakes and make suggestions at the same time. He very willingly adapted the sessions to my needs and I had a positive score in my B1 exam as a result!
Thanks Valerio!

I've been working with Valerio for around a year at this point, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to learn German, or improve the skills they already have. Since starting lessons with him, I've progressed from barely knowing any German, to being comfortable conversing with native speakers. He has also helped me to pass a B2 level exam in the language. His lessons are extremely well structured, and he always takes the time to explain the various nuances which you could never learn from a textbook. The learning environment is a great balance between working to improve while also remaining relaxed and fun, and I always look forward to our lessons. If you are looking for a German teacher or for a speaking partner to brush up on your skills, he is an excellent choice.

Valerio is precise and has a talent for clarifying German language concepts. His grasp of my own mother tongue, English, is perfect, so he’s easy for me to understand. I’m surely one of his slowest students, but he has always been encouraging and patient. I highly recommend that you consider him to be your teacher, too.
