About Me
italki teacher since Sep 5, 2017InterestsMedical & HealthcareTravelGamingHistoryPets & Animals
Grown up and raised in Germany's capital city - Berlin - I do enjoy learning languages very much - just as I love teaching them. :-) Another great passion of mine is traveling. Whenever I have free time, I am "away for a trip." I enjoy very much getting in touch with people from different countries to hear their stories & experiences - we can always learn from each other! :-)Me as a Teacher
I've helped Germans improve their English for 9 years and have taught German for almost 8 years. First, I started acquiring students on a local basis in Berlin and then offered to tutor people abroad. Later I taught German to foreign prisoners in the JVA-Tegel (Tegel prison); thus, I learned how to behave professionally and understand even in stressful situations. My knowledge of German grammar goes beyond the C1 and C2 levels, and I am sure that I can help you improve yours without much effort and, more importantly, without pressure! I am patient and use several different techniques to teach.My lessons & teaching style

That I consistently choose Lars as my teacher comes as no surprise: he's acutely aware of verbal and written nuances, knows his grammar through and through and doggedly reminds you of your mistakes to help you along the bumps on your journey to fluency and beyond.

Wow! Lars gave me explanations of grammar that I have NEVER heard, yet will be extremely helpful in remembering which verb in which situation to use. Very detailed. Absolutely loved the first lesson.

Lars is an excellent conversation partner. He has an impressive ability to keep the conversation flowing and engaging without seeming either to control it or to put the pressure on the student. When I started iTalki I worried about filling an entire hour with second-language chat, but our lessons fly by. His corrections are targeted and encouraging.

Lars is an exceptional German teacher who combines deep linguistic expertise with genuine enthusiasm. The lessons on pronunciation training are really helpful and, what's probably even more important, never boring!
