About Me

Hi! My name is Mandy, and I am a native German teacher from northern Germany. I lived in the UK for many years before relocating to the beautiful island of La Palma. Languages have always played a big role in my life. I am passionate about not only teaching but also learning them. I hold a degree in language studies, focusing on language and creativity, and have been promoting language learning in British schools.
I teach German full-time online and I am grateful to meet many different students from various backgrounds. When I am not engaged with languages, you can find me mostly spending time with my dog, reading, learning, hiking, cooking and enjoying movies and series.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I prioritise kindness and patience, having gone through the language learning process myself, I understand that it's not always a linear journey. Sometimes you find it easy, while at other times it can be frustrating. I want to help you overcome any obstacles that you encounter in your learning journey and ensure that you enjoy the process, while keeping a relaxed atmosphere. I also believe in holistic and human-centered learning and I want students to become curious and confident learners. I encourage all my students to bring questions and observations into the lessons as you will learn most when you are really engaged in the process.My lessons & teaching style
In our lessons, we'll mainly focus on conversation so that you can express yourself freely and find your authentic "German" voice. It's important to maximise our speaking time and work on automising your knowledge, so you will feel more confident. Together, we'll explore new vocabulary, work on grammar, and improve pronunciation. Grammar will always be integrated in topics as you'll remember it best when it is taught in context and not in isolation. It is also more fun and less dry :) I'm flexible and happy to structure our lessons based on your unique needs and interests, so you can get the most out of each session.My teaching material

Mandy is an incredible instructor who brings enthusiasm and engaging conversation to every class. She consistently catches your mistakes and encourages you to think through what needs to be corrected. As a language learner herself, Mandy is familiar with the challenges and frustrations that can come with studying a language, and she is always ready to provide encouragement and vary the teaching materials/format in order to keep things stimulating. My lessons with Mandy are always fun, challenging, and rewarding :)

Eine weitere geniale Stunde mit Mandy. Diese Konversationsstunden machen immer so viel Spaß und ich lerne so viele Vokabeln aus dem wirklichen Leben, die man einfach nicht von einer App bekommen kann! Immer noch meine Lieblingsstunde der Woche!

Mandy ist ein Geschenk des Himmels. Ich habe mich auf eine Sprachprüfung für Flugbegleiter vorbereitet und sie hat mir enorm geholfen! Sie bietet großartige deutsche Beispiele, Grammatikerklärungen und Feedback. Ich empfehle sie sehr als nächste Deutschlehrerin!

Mandy is amazing. I've been with her for about 3 years and I can see how much my German has improved. What I like the best is the environment she creates in her session where you feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes. Highly recommend!
