Make real progress in German! Dynamic classes with bilingual teacher from Munich University I am an Argentinian-German teacher and tutor of German as a second language. I graduated from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich in German as a Second Language, Spanish and Linguistics with a Master`s degree. I have an extensive teaching experience across various educational institutions and I am currently teaching both face-to-face and online. In my classes I try to transmit all the passion I have for foreign languages and my knowledge about German and the German speaking countries. I specially focus on speaking and have succesfully applied the role-play method simulating real every day situations. Moreover, I have a long experience with helping students to prepare for international examinations such as TELC, TestDaf or Goethe-Zertifikat. I have a humorous teaching style, and during my classes I am always searching for a perfect balance between challenging, intensive learning moments and more relaxing parts in which students are the protagonists and tell me about different aspects of their lives while applying the vocabulary and structures learnt in the current lesson. Talking about topics that matter for students and are in the center of their lives increases both motivation and long lasting learning effects.

Learn German for life or bussiness at your pace, in a personalized, effective and fun way! Before booking a lesson, I appreciate if you send me a brief message, including your recent learning experience, requirements and preferences. The more you share, the better I can prepare and personalize my lesson structure and teaching style! I believe that language learning is always a personal journey, which, most importantly, should be enjoyable! I'm not a big proponent of old-school bookish teaching but rather invite my students to explore new, personalized methods and figure out together what works best for them.

YOU´RE THE MASTER OF YOUR GOALS AND DREAMS I LOVE to teach, to learn and share knowledge. We have the ability to constantly learn something new. And if we´re enjoying it, then learning becomes easy - that helps us to reach our goals faster. And if some things need more time then accept it, then everything is a process. If the seed is planes the flower will bloom when time is right. Many of my students are saying that I´m funny – I believe them. In that case I guess our lessons could be fun but I´m also patient, helpful, and supportive.

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!

Learn German at your own pace and in a relaxed atmosphere I can easily relate to what it feels like to learn a new language. During my semester abroad in Portugal, I found it particularly challenging to speak with locals. In my lessons, you can learn German at your own pace and in a relaxed atmosphere. By using tools such as pictures and texts, I aim to make the language easier for you and help you build the confidence to use it independently in the future.

Tutor in German literature, philosophy and art Hallo zusammen! I'm a writer, lecturer and teacher engaged in making art and culture accessible—and that is understandable—for everyone. Since my studies (BA & MA) in Germany, Egypt and India, I have been working in various self-organized and community-based projects where I could bring this vision forward. Overall, I'm interested in the question how different languages shape a different way of thinking, which I have encountered while learning different languages such as Latin, Greek, Arabic, Spanish and English. In my teaching, I apply creative and alternative teaching methods (flipped classroom, project based learning) and I find it particularly important to maintain a horizontal attitude towards my students. Instead of maintaining my authority, I tend to see my students as participants in a mutual effort of learning. I understand a teaching lesson as a collective experience rather than a lecture that is delivered only by the teacher. I always try to spark my students' interest by using different media in order to engage them with apparently less appealing topics such as German literature (Goethe, Kafka, Kleist, etc.) and philosophy (Hegel, Nietzsche, Marx, etc.).
