German for clear, confident and precise communication I am a German language teacher and native speaker, specialising in adult learners who want to use German precisely and confidently – not just to get by, but to express themselves clearly in professional and complex situations. My teaching combines over ten years of professional experience in communications and public relations with an internationally recognised qualification: a university certificate in German language teaching from Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, awarded in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut. I work in a focused, learner-centred way – guiding the learning process actively while maintaining a calm and supportive atmosphere. My teaching emphasises clarity, precision of expression and conscious language use, supported by targeted grammar work where helpful. At the start, we clarify your goals, preferences and current needs. This may include conversation, grammar, exam preparation or specific communicative situations. Your objectives form the basis of our work together. Experience has shown that language develops most effectively when used meaningfully. Topics you are genuinely interested in therefore often play a central role in our lessons. Building on this, I guide the learning process with structure and clear orientation – so that your German develops in a purposeful and sustainable way.

Multilingual teacher with more than 5 years of teaching experience I have always liked to share my knowledge on how to learn a language quickly and efficiently. For this reason, the key is to interact as long as possible in the target language, correcting any errors that arise, as well as the pronunciation and grammar used by the student.

In the words of Joseph Campbell, we human beings do best when we "follow our bliss." Throughout my adult life, teaching, and particularly teaching German, has been my bliss. I was fortunate to recognize teaching as my vocation when I was in college, and l had excellent training in language pedagogy when I was accepted as a teaching assistant at Ohio State's graduate program. I am at my happiest and most fulfilled when I am teaching a language class, whether face to face or online (a modality in which I became proficient during the Covid epidemic). For years I have had excellent teaching evaluations from my students, whether in the classroom or in one on one tutoring.

As I have been living in many countries, I have always worked as a private tutor to teach my foreign friends and contacts Chinese and at the same time, teaching my Chinese friends German or English. I am a very communicative, organised and open person, so I often encourage my students to keep practicing. Don't be afraid to make mistakes! Also, in my opinion, it is very important for me to know the needs of my students so that I can do my best to prepare materials, videos, documents before lessons to keep my students motivated! 友達に日本語を教えた経験があって、外国のビジネス関係者や友人に中国とドイツ語のレッスンをした経験もあります。レッスンの前に、あなたの中国語かドイツ語のレベルを聞かせていただきいて、できるだけあなたのレベルに応じて授業を差し上げます。

I've been described as a chill, friendly and very supportive teacher by my students. I'm flexible and creative, and always try to find ways to make learning German fun and more effective for my students. After all, everyone is different in how they learn something best. As mentioned, I have taught German to elementary school kids and middle aged people. I have tutored native German speakers (in honing their writing skills) and foreigners learning German as secondary language since 2019. I'm also used to work with students who are not quite confident in German yet (A1-A2). So if you are a beginner, don't worry and let's give it a try!

Teaching with profession and passion ;-) It is very important to me that everyone enjoys my lessons. I believe it is very important to be relaxed and have fun while learning, so I make it a point to provide an environment that is free from stress and enjoyable. I really think, enjoying learning is already halfway to success. :-) I have already learned some languages as well and I am still learning more, so I really understand the difficulties of learning a new language, but I also have experience in how to overcome those as well. I am currently learning Chinese and I enjoy it very much.
