在德国教德语的中国老师 / Certified Polyglot German Teacher with Linguistics Background Hello! My name is Runzhi, and I am a certified German teacher for integration classes with over five years of experience. I hold a degree in German and English Philology (FU Berlin) and a teaching certificate from Humboldt University. Speaking five languages fluently, I understand the challenges of language learning from the inside and use that insight to help my students progress quickly and confidently. Outside teaching, I work in linguistic research and translation, and enjoy gardening, cooking, cinema, and the arts. I have taught German as a foreign language in diverse settings, from intensive courses to corporate training, both online and in person, with learners from A1 to C2. I specialise in building speaking confidence, refining grammar, and developing real-world communication skills. My lessons are clear, practical, and goal-oriented. I strike a balance between structure and active practice, tailoring each session to your needs. I focus on real-life topics and communication skills while reinforcing grammar and vocabulary in context. My teaching style can be fast-paced and challenging, especially if you're eager to make quick progress. I aim to create a space where you feel supported, motivated, and engaged every step of the way. I use a focus-on-form approach, where I integrate grammar into meaningful communication so you can apply it naturally.

Zwanglose Konversationsstunden Ich bin von Natur aus sehr detailorientiert und kann auf Wunsch bestimmten Dingen mehr Aufmerksamkeit schenken. Gleichzeitig weiß ich aber auch, dass es nicht sehr hilfreich ist, übermäßig kritisch zu sein. Je nach Niveau werde ich mich entsprechend anpassen. Ich würde mich als sehr geduldige, aufmerksame, offene und lockere Tutorin beschreiben.

*8 years of teaching experience*personalized & fun lessons*TEST-Prep for language institutes and FSP Ich verfolge als Tutor in italki in jedem Unterricht 3 Ziele. Zunächst möchte ich eine angenehme und lockere Lernatmosphäre schaffen, in der du ungehemmt Fragen stellen, Ideen und Argumente teilen, und natürlich auch Fehler machen kannst, um in der Konversation ähnlich wie Wasser in einem Fluss frei und ohne Barrieren fließen zu können. Ich möchte außerdem deine Ziele möglichst genau erfassen, denn so kann ich einen individualisierten Lernplan erstellen. Lückenhaftes Wissen in Wortschatz und Grammatik nimmt dir viel Bewegungsfreiheit in der Konversation, ich werde diese Lücken aufspüren, danach wirst du sie mit meiner Unterstützung füllen und so deine Kenntnisse verbessern.

Native Speaker, Language Learner & Community Teacher Hallo, ich bin Fabian. Meine Muttersprache ist Deutsch und ich lebe in in einem kleinen Dorf in Deutschland. Ich habe selbst bereits mehrere Fremdsprachen erlernt und zwar Englisch, Lettisch und Russisch. Aktuell lerne ich gerade Estnisch und Grönländisch. Als ein neugieriger und wissensdurstiger Mensch tauche ich gerne in die unterschiedlichsten Themengebiete ein. Vor allem aber bin ich ein sehr naturbegeisterter Mensch und interessiere mich zudem für Sprachen und Kulturen aus aller Welt. Hauptberuflich bin ich selbständig tätig als Imker und Naturpädagoge. Außerdem bin ich Vater zweier Kinder und überzeugter Barfußläufer. Als Jemand, der selbst mehrere Fremdsprachen erlernt hat, weiß ich ganz genau welche Methoden wirklich funktionieren, welche Hürden und Stolpersteine auf dem Weg lauern und wie man sich als Lernender fühlt. Ich weiß aus eigener Erfahrung, wie überwältigend eine fremde Sprache am Anfang wirken kann. Doch keine Panik. Ich begleite dich auf deinem Weg. Verständnisvoll, kompetent und ohne Druck. Mein Unterrichtsstil ist locker und basiert auf freien Konversationen und dem Erzählen von Geschichten. Gerne nutze ich für meinen Unterricht auch Bilder als Unterstützung. Das kann insbesondere für Anfänger sehr hilfreich sein. Mein Erfahrung zeigt, dass man auf diese Art am besten lernt. Bei mir gibt es keine Grammatikübungen oder Auswendiglernen von Regeln und Vokabeln. Das Sprachenlernen erfolgt durch echten authentischen Sprachgebrauch von Mensch zu Mensch.
