Professional and dedicated teacher: Grammar, Fachsprachprüfung Medizin, Goethe/Telc, Talk Students always like my patience, my wide range of methods, my outstanding ability to explain even the most difficult topics, my kindness and that time is flying by during our lessons. I’m an expert in teaching methods and motivation. So you won't get bored in our lessons and will like to hold on. A good pronunciation makes all the difference. I speak German without an accent and will always concentrate on you speaking German like a German. Since I do not only speak German and English but also Spanish, French, Arabic and a little Chinese, Danish and Greek, I know how languages work and will make my knowledge available to you.

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!

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.

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.

Matthias
Native German teacher, 9+ years of experience in the areas pronunciation, test preparation/ business ✔ If you are beginner, we will start with pronunciation first and then build grammar from there - that is the only way to sound native-like and avoid mistakes in the long run! ✔ If you are intermediate, I'll also give you a basic understanding of the German sounds to increase your awareness, with a special focus on the sounds you don't have in your native language ("sound gaps"). ✔ Throughout my lessons, I like to refer back to the individual sounds /aka "building blocks" of the German language - this has lead to great results for many of my students! ✔ I like you to find and correct your own (pronunciation) mistakes before I correct you (silent way approach)
