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.
Me as a Teacher
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.
My lessons & teaching style
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!

Conversation classes with Liz have helped me feel more comfortable speaking in German. I appreciate the way she gives corrections and feedback. The sessions are engaging and enjoyable, and the time seems to fly by!
