Beyond my academic background, I have hands-on classroom experience from a teaching internship where I led real classes and worked with both teenagers and younger students. That experience taught me something no degree can fully prepare you for and that every learner is different, and patience is such an important quality in a teacher. I know how to adapt to different energy levels, attention spans, and learning paces without ever making a student feel rushed or left behind. Whether you're someone who needs things explained three different ways before they click, or someone who just needs a calm and encouraging space. I also love to experiment with new materials and teaching methods.

TEFL-certified teacher | BA Graduate in Philosophy and Middle Eastern Studies |8 years of teaching Through my TEFL-training and eight years of teaching, I've learnt how best to explain the idiosyncrasies of English and German, how to adapt to different needs and personalities, and how to support my students. The latter is especially important to me: as my student, you can always expect a friendly smile, a patient demeanour, and lots of encouragement! As a lover of poetry and literature, I also hope to share my appreciation for the beauty of my native languages. Therefore, for fellow enthusiasts, I am always happy to integrate literature of all kinds into my lessons, be it through discussion, translation, or simply joint reading.

Übung macht den Meister / Повторенье - мать ученья 😊 🖍 I am a professional full-time German teacher from South Tyrol (Italy), since 2010 I live in Austria. My native language is German and I have a teacher's degree (German/Russian). Since 2015, I have been teaching German as a Foreign and Second Language aimed at adults (18+) from all over the world, offline as well as online. In these 11 years I've taught German to more than 500 students and I’ve given more than 11000 lessons. 🖍 I am very patient and accurate, I can explain well, and I love to challenge people. That is why I usually give explanations in German (also for A1), but you can speak with me in Italian, English or Russian. 🖍 I offer various teaching materials. I like to use audios and videos for listening, for reading I like to work with textbooks, short novels (for learners of German A1-B2) or journal texts. We can talk about topics that you are interested in, have discussions, but you can also practice presentations or phone calls with me, and we can also simulate job interviews. To improve your writing skills, we will learn and practice useful phrases that you can actively use in emails, letters of complaint, statements, or other texts. IMPORTANT INFORMATION❗ - I work only with adults (18+). - Please first book a trial lesson or a single lesson, before you book a package. - Please follow Italki's rescheduling/cancellation terms. Both should be done at least 24 hours in advance, otherwise your class will be charged 100%.
