About Me
italki teacher since Oct 2, 2024
InterestsArtFilms & TV SeriesTravelBusiness & FinanceMusic
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.

Liz has made learning german so manageable and fun. I was feeling very overwhelmed about the language as a whole and in german classes with multiple students which was why I wanted to try Italki tutoring and how I found Liz. She makes every lesson and homework assignment really tailored to what is interesting to me which has made learning a lot easier and more engaging (ex: I work with kids, so when we do practice examples she creates examples for different situations with kids). She also provides really clear rules and examples that I can use to follow the language and continue learning outside of class and keep practicing. One thing that has been especially helpful has been using a german practice book I found online, going through and filling it out, noting where I have questions/am unsure, and then going through those sections with Liz and getting explanations. She has made learning german fun again and been such a positive teacher and person I always look forward to our lessons.

Liz is very experienced teacher knows how to lead the topics that student interests. Our class was focus on conversation. She can correct and improve my mistakes without interrupting the conversations - it's not easy and not many teachers can do that.

Taking lessons with Liz has been a great experience. I am mostly fluent in German but came to her to improve my writing and learn more specific vocabulary, and I have seen improvement in all of these things since starting lessons with her. She chooses topics based on my interests and gives me a listening, reading and writing assignment every week, which we then discuss and correct in class. Besides this, Liz is a very interesting conversationalist. I definitely recommend taking lessons with her.

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 :)
