Not sure where to start or how to feel more confident speaking German? Good. That's where we begin. Hi, I'm Heike. I’ve been teaching German online since 2016, and what I enjoy most is that moment when something suddenly clicks and learners realise: “I can actually do this.” I work with all levels, but I have a soft spot for beginners. I hold a Magistra Artium in Ethnology, Archaeology & Sociology, and yes, I worked as an archaeologist in Peru. That background shapes how I teach: language is not just grammar, but culture, history and people. In my lessons, you speak from day one. We work with real-life situations and build your confidence step by step. A shared Google Doc keeps everything in one place. For grammar, I use Deutschfuchs. Homework is optional, but it really helps. Hola, soy Heike. Enseño alemán online desde 2016, y lo que más me gusta es ese momento en que algo encaja y el estudiante piensa: “sí puedo hacerlo”. Trabajo con todos los niveles, pero tengo especial cariño por principiantes. ¿No sabes por dónde empezar? Por ahí empezamos. Tengo una Magistra Artium en Etnología, Arqueología y Sociología, y sí, trabajé como arqueóloga en Perú. Esa experiencia define mi enfoque: el idioma no es solo gramática, sino cultura, historia y personas. En mis clases hablas desde el primer día. Trabajamos con situaciones reales y construimos tu confianza paso a paso. Un Google Doc compartido lo guarda todo. Para la gramática uso Deutschfuchs. Explico con claridad, hago las preguntas adecuadas y doy feedback honesto. Los deberes son opcionales, pero ayudan de verdad.

I specialise in test preparation (Goethe-Zertifikat, TestDaF, telc, ÖSD, fide, etc.). I have been teaching German online since 2016. Prior to that, I taught German at one of the leading language schools in Berlin for over six years to build my teaching skills and experience. I hold a Magister (German equivalent to the master's degree) in German history and literature from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2001) and a certificate of teaching German as a foreign language from Goethe-Institut, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (2010). Before becoming a language teacher, I was a journalist for six years at a local newspaper in Potsdam. Language lessons can be fun, but language-learning is certainly time-consuming and occasionally frustrating. I am therefore aiming at establishing a collaborative relationship with you and keeping you motivated and inspired along the way. I look forward to working together with you! I offer both general German language lessons and specific courses of grammar, conversation, writing, test preparation and interview preparation. My focus is on intermediate and advanced German learners, who need a higher level of accuracy and fluency in terms of exposition, argumentation and self-expression. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT • Proficiency evaluation • Lessons at your own individual needs and learning style • Various learning materials • Conversation oriented lessons • Error correction of your written texts

Se vuoi un insegnante paziente, esperto e divertente, stai facendo la scelta giusta! ;) Sono una persona molto aperta e curiosa. Faccio lezione in maniera sciolta ed informale, per esempio conversando su qualunque tipo di argomento, cercando di cogliere quali possano essere i temi da affrontare o da perfezionare (grammatica, pronuncia, vocabolario).

Want to build your skills while enjoying yourself? Look no further! Hi all! I am a former anthropology and politics student currently living in a village in South Korea. In my free time, you can find me taking long walks, doing yoga, or else hunched over my computer writing. I'm passionate about stories - I love making up my own, as well as hearing people tell theirs! I also enjoy singing, drawing, acting, and making fermented foods. I have several years of teaching experience online and offline, and speak six languages myself. I am convinced language learning can be both smooth and enjoyable! I will help you create an immersive experience at home, and sustain momentum with good habits and interesting content. Most of my students rely on semi-structured conversations to build comprehension, vocabulary and confidence. However, I also teach essay writing, exam prep, poetry and songs (German and *new* Chinese), and German from zero. I grew up in Germany, then went to high school in China. I feel at home in both countries. I attended university in London, Urumqi and Paris, and have also spent time in Kyrgyzstan. If you are just starting out or have specific questions, you are welcome to switch to English, German, Chinese, Korean, Russian or French during class, although I will always stick to your target language as much as possible. 请务必注意课程类型,不要订老生课哦~ 根据italki规定,课程开始前24小时内不得取消课程或更改课程时间(特殊情况除外)。学生若不来上课,课时依然视为完成。多谢大家理解!

Deutsch lernen mit Struktur, Klarheit und Selbstvertrauen. Hallo, ich bin Gürcan. Ich bin in Deutschland geboren und aufgewachsen und spreche Deutsch und Türkisch auf muttersprachlichem Niveau. Außerdem spreche ich fließend Englisch und beschäftige mich mit weiteren Sprachen aus linguistischer Perspektive.

TEFL- certified English & German teacher with commercial /technological background TEFL LEVEL 5 certified English teacher GOOD EXPLAINER I love playing with words and discovering similarities between languages. This includes the history and origins of words (etymology). Numerous students mention that I explain grammar really well. ADAPTIVE My style is consultative rather than by the book. I gauge your level, ask you what works and listen well to find out what we need to work on. I am not a teacher, I make you better. You decide how hard you will learn and I will step it up or slow it down. OPEN AND LISTENING FOR FEEDBACK At any time during a class, you can ask me anything. I found that my best students all ask more questions.

I started giving private spanish lessons and then I became curious about my own mothertongue. Since then I am particularly passionate about the German language and that´s what I hope to pass on to you. My classes are communicative, interactive and motivating. In my opinion the most important skill is to speak a language. Empecé a dar clases particulares de español y luego sentí curiosidad por mi propia lengua materna. Desde entonces me apasiona especialmente el idioma alemán y eso es lo que espero transmitirte. Mis clases son comunicativas, interactivas y motivadoras. En mi opinión la habilidad más importante es hablar un idioma.
