About Me
italki teacher since May 7, 2020Me as a Teacher
My teaching experience and proficiency in learning foreign languages will serve as valuable assets as we engage in a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment. I have taught students from various age groups and academic levels, with diverse degrees of fluency. This includes both native German speakers and individuals learning German as a second language. This broad range of experience enables me to adapt my teaching methods to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring a productive and engaging learning experience.My lessons & teaching style
Language being a tool for communication, I lay focus on extending your vocabulary and speaking fluency. Instructions will be mostly in German, unless requested otherwise. I can help you learn and improve your German by offering a wide range of topics and giving you the right tools and methods to work towards fluency and beyond. I'll show you how to pick up new vocabulary efficiently, how to implement flashcards into your learning habits and will provide you with learning material appropriate to your level. My classes will be challenging yet entertaining and will cater to your needs and goals. If you have your own material you'd like to work on, then we will get the best out of that, too.My teaching material

When I turned up to a traditional in-person group German class yesterday it was at this point I realised just how much progress I had made with Ivo. Students that had attended this class in the A1.1, A1.2, A1.3 and A2.1 classes over a year had not progressed as much as I had with Ivo in 8 weeks. Thanks Ivo!

Wow! We practised speaking, which I find most challenging, in the most encouraging and creative way I have ever done. Ivo was very engaging, supportive and made me feel less freaked out by speaking (which I normally am). Super lesson! Danke :)! Bonus- he has a great sense of humour!

The class is very well prepared, and Ivo adapts to my level and need very quickly. He uses a lot of different ways to explain grammar and vocabulary, which is not only fun but also easy to remember. I am looking forward to our next class.

Ich habe diese Unterrichtstunde sehr genossen. Ivo hat immer interessante Themen zum Besprechen und ich lerne neue Wörter, Redewendungen und Kulturelle Nuancen. Ich finde das super!

Ich habe diese Unterrichtstunde sehr interessant und toll gefunden! Ich mag, dass obwohl Ivo einen guten Plan für den Unterricht hat, können wir auch über meine spontanen Fragen reden und ich finde dass sehr hilfreich.
Wir haben die nächste Lektion nicht genau geplant weil ich vorziehe, frei und unvorbereitet sprechen zu können.

My trial lesson with Ivo went very well. He spoke very clearly and he covered the grammatic topic of Partizip II very competently, and even gave me a unique tip to know when to anticipate a verb form ending in -t or -en. I think that he is a very good teacher.
