Stefanie
Goethe-certified German teacher, accredited by German Migration Ministry I love learning languages and have experimented a lot over the years with different methods and approaches to learning, so I do have quite an idea about what works for different types of learners and what doesn't. I am here to present you knowledge and opportunities for practice that cater to your specific needs. You are more of a visual type? Or you memorize best through a combination of listening and repetition? Or you are already somewhat a pro and want to learn about nuances of meaning and broaden your vocabulary? You name it, I got it!

Test preparation, beginners of all ages, scientifically & culturally interested advanced students. BEGINNERS: We will use the excellent DEUTSCHFUCHS learning platform to together solve interactive exercises and learn everyday vocabulary as well as grammar in easy steps. You will gain free round the clock access to your materials. ADVANCED STUDENTS: We will expand your vocabulary by talking/writing about everyday topics or specific issues of your choice, or by discussing short articles that we read before the lesson. EXAM/INTERVIEW PREP: We will be doing official practice exams together or prepare for and hold mock job interviews. Since my lessons are tailored to the needs of individual students, the clearer your idea of what you want to achieve in what timeframe is, the better :)

Julia Anna Kling
Goethe certificate in methodology and didactics: Trained teacher with over 8 years of experience I am very lucky because I love my profession. But passion alone is not enough to be a good teacher. You also need didactic, methodical and pedagogical skills. For this reason I decided to attend the distance learning course "DaF Methodik und Didaktik" at the Goethe Institute in June 2019. I successfully passed the final exam. I am convinced that teachers need to be constantly trained, too. So they are able to offer their students the best teaching performance.

Elisabeth
Friendly and patient experienced teacher * 친절한 프로 * 말하기 편안 I believe I can call myself an experienced teacher, as teaching German as a foreign language has been my full time occupation since 2016, and I have gathered experience in many different areas of the job (offline & online|all levels A1-C1|groups & 1:1|textbook, conversation & test prep Goethe/telc/TestDaF|language learning content development). I speak with a clear pronunciation, without accent, and in a way that is appropriate for your level. My strongest suits as a teacher probably are the fact that I can make you feel relaxed and comfortable in class, and my linguistic interest and ability to explain complex things in a very easy way.

Über 7 Jahre Unterrichtserfahrung - Zertifikatsvorbereitung I have been teaching German as a foreign language (Daf) in primary and secondary classrooms and in face-to-face lessons with adults for more than 6 years. So I am experienced in teaching children, absolute beginners as well as advanced students in the academic realm. I can help you with your international language certifications (levels A2-B2: Goethe, ÖSD, Telc, Daf-Test) since I am an ÖSD-Examiner, too. If you need help with your academic thesis in Literature (or Humanities) or with translations you are welcomed.

Thailand based native speaker teaching German from beginner to advanced, including test preparation. Are you a bit nervous about booking an online class? Don't be! In my classes I try to put my students at ease, so they feel comfortable and relaxed. For me, every student is special and I prepare every lesson based on their individual needs and goals. I also pride myself on my listening skills and put a lot of work into my students’ confidence to speak. Because in my experience, if you really want to learn a new language, you have to speak it as much as possible!

Individual lessons for conversation, grammar or test preparation! Several years of experience supporting students in private classes, teaching group classes and successfully preparing them for their Telc / Goethe exams and I am still loving it! I am a teacher for DAF (German as a foreign language), certified by Goethe Institut, with an in-depth training of teaching methods and didactic validated materials. It is this rewarding experience - of helping people to find their own way into the new language, to develop habits and methods and to create classes, that match these needs - that formed my decision to become a professional teacher. I am lucky to have the resources to create these individual private classes.

I have taught German and English in several different circumstances. During my early internships in China I organized basic German and business level English trainings. In the German Chamber of Commerce, I was also involved in editing a yearly bi-language training brochure for special trainings in Shanghai. But I also taught English and German for a year in kindergarten, where I focused on fun in acquiring a new language. In Germany I mainly taught German privately, mainly focusing on the Testdaf-exam but also the German high school-diploma Abitur. Occasionally, I also prepared students for the TOEFL-Exam.
