About Me
italki teacher since Sep 30, 2020InterestsHistoryMusicSports & FitnessWritingScience
My first teaching position was at the private Colegio Humboldt Caracas in Venezuela, where I was living in order to work with musicians from the El Sistema orchestras. In addition to preparing students for their DSD I & II and their Studienkollegs, I was an examiner for the oral exams of these language tests. Since then, I have taught and am teaching pupils of all age groups and proficiency levels – currently university students.
I use the best available 4K webcam and a fiber-optic internet connection for excellent video call quality during my lessons via the italki classroom, Skype or Zoom. My beginner course employs premium online learning tools for effortless & very interactive lessons.Me as a Teacher
If you are a beginner, we will solve interactive exercises, learn the dreaded German grammar in simple and easy steps, perfect your pronunciation and quickly build up a solid foundation. If you are advanced, we will expand your vocabulary by talking about things that interest you or by reading and discussing newspaper articles together. If you want to pass an exam, we will prepare you by doing practice exams together that are exactly like the real thing. Learning German in this way needn't be as difficult or annoying as you may imagine or have experienced in the past. It can – and should – be an enjoyable luxury that you are motivated to indulge in regularly.My lessons & teaching style
Whether adding to your cultural knowledge, preparing for a test, or honing your language skills for work or everyday conversations, everything we do will be personalized. To that end, it will be beneficial if you have a clear idea what you want to achieve and/or of certain fields or topics you find interesting and might like to learn more about, so that I can prepare our lessons accordingly.
You can of course choose to take my lessons with a friend or family member without any extra charge. And to also make pricing a non-issue when it comes to selecting the lengths of your lessons, I have priced all my lesson times equivalently. Simply choose whatever duration suits you best :)My teaching material

Für die Vorbereitung einer C2 Prüfung bin ich zu Daniel gekommen. Ich habe insgesamt sechs Unterrichte bei ihm gehabt, die sehr zielorientiert und höchst effizient waren. Ohne die Hinweise, die Daniel mir gegeben hat, hätte ich die Prüfung nicht bestehen können. Herzlichen Dank Daniel! Sehr empfehlenswert!
