Hi! My name is Franziska and I teach German for Business and Office Communication. I studied German, English and Spanish at the university of Cologne, Germany. Traveling and languages are my passion. I have lived and taught abroad for several years, e.g. in Madrid and Auckland, and worked as a project manager in Cologne for 3.5 years. I currently live in Düsseldorf, Germany.Me as a Teacher
I’ve been teaching German as a foreign language since 2011. I've taught in language schools, online and in companies. I also worked as a project manager for more than 3.5 years, so I know what it’s like to work in an office and to use Business German. In our class, we will practice speaking about different topics in general and work-related content in specific. We will write professional emails, practice phone calls and improve your grammar skills and vocabulary. My teaching method involves using so-called "drills" (practice of specific language components by repeating them over and over when speaking), which will help you memorize specific grammar, vocabulary and also pronunciation.My lessons & teaching style
In our class, we cover content suitable for your current speaking level as well as office-related topics. I use drilled questions that focus on your correct use of grammar and pronunciation and help you memorize new vocabulary. I will also give you homework in order to repeat what you learned in our lesson.My teaching material

Franziska is by far the most prepared, dedicated and organised teacher I have tried on Italki (probably amongst 20). She is very supportive, patient and empathetic and provides a lot of content.

I highly recommend Franziska as a German teacher! She really takes the time to prepare and tailor each lesson to your specific goals, creating the perfect blend of grammar, theory, and practical use. Her method is incredibly effective—it helps your brain naturally adapt to sentence structures and grammar rules without having to think about them. Franziska is not only knowledgeable but also the most supportive and motivating teacher I've ever worked with. I’m so grateful for her patience, encouragement, and the creativity she brings to every class. After working with other teachers, I can confidently say that her lessons are the best value for money and time you'll find. Don’t hesitate—book a lesson with her now!

Franziska is a very nice, effective and very helpful teacher.
She explained everything in a very clear and organised way.
No doubt I'll recommend her for other German learners.
