Learn with Lucas in a friendly atmosphere – with patience and no fear of making mistakes Hi! I'm Lucas, 25, from Berlin. I recently completed my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and I combine my experience teaching German and piano with my own experience as a language learner. For me, the most important thing is to create a space where you can experiment without pressure or stress, make mistakes, learn from them, and enjoy speaking. The focus of my conversation lessons is on building confidence, getting into the flow of speaking, and learning through practice. My goal is to give you as much speaking time as possible. During our lessons, I take notes on corrections, useful phrases, and new vocabulary, which I send to you afterwards. I'm also happy to explain grammar points or provide translations whenever needed. I also offer lessons for beginners, with exercises and activities tailored to your level and learning goals. These lessons are structured and follow a clear learning path, while still giving you plenty of space to practise, experiment, and enjoy the learning process.

In 2001 I began to teach German as a Foreign Language at the German Cultural Center which is the official representative of the Goethe Institute in the City of Monterrey- Mexico.

Multilingual traveler | Language enthusiast | German & polish tutor Hi everyone, I am Claudia 😊 I'm passionate about languages, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures. I've been traveling for the past few months, and one thing I've learned is that the best way to improve a language is by actually using it in real conversations (this is how I learned German, for example). I offer conversational lessons in German and Polish in a relaxed and supportive environment. My goal is to help you build confidence, improve your fluency, and feel more comfortable speaking naturally. If you're interested, we can also include short exercises and some basic grammar to reinforce what we've practiced. Whether you're preparing for travel, work, or simply want to practice speaking, I'd be happy to help. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your language-learning journey! 🇩🇪🇵🇱🇪🇸

Hi, I'm Carolin a graphic designer from southwest Germany who somehow ended up living in Mexico. I've always loved languages, but I really started speaking them confidently once I used them in real-life situations while traveling. That experience showed me how important practice and conversation really are. I’m curious by nature and love discovering new cultures and meeting people from different backgrounds. When I'm not working, you’ll probably find me at ballet class, practicing piano (slowly but surely improving!), or spending time with friends. I’m excited to meet you and be part of your language journey! My goal is to create a relaxed and encouraging learning space where you can feel comfortable speaking from the very beginning. I know how challenging it can be to speak a new language, especially when you're afraid of making mistakes. Whether you want to improve your speaking skills, sound more natural, or simply feel more confident using German, I'm here to support you step by step. In our lessons, we mainly focus on conversation while vocabulary and grammar are included naturally along the way. Each session is designed to feel relaxed, practical, and suited to your level and goals, so you can learn comfortably and at your own pace. If you'd like a little extra practice between sessions, I'm always happy to provide optional exercises or homework.

Personalized, Fun & Effective Lessons with a Multilingual Tutor My name is Sergio, I am 32 years old and I hold a degree in Translation and Interpreting. I have almost 10 years of teaching experience in different fields (from chemistry to Spanish, English and German).

My classes focus on improving the four basic skills (reading comprehension, listening comprehension, writing and speaking) through practical exercises and grammar application. However, we can also focus on the skills that interest you most.

Professeur d'allemand Bonjour, je m’appelle Ophélie Vial, j’ai trente-trois ans et je vais passer en deuxième année de master MEEF parcours allemand. J’ai vécu plusieurs années en Allemagne, où j’ai appris la langue et développé une solide compétence linguistique et culturelle. J’ai obtenu une licence LLCER d’allemand il y a un an. Mon compagnon étant allemand, la langue allemande fait pleinement partie de mon quotidien. Ces dernières années, j’ai enseigné l’allemand, l’anglais et le français, aussi bien en ligne qu’en présentiel, en établissement scolaire comme en cours particuliers. Ces différentes expériences m’ont permis de m’adapter à des publics variés et de développer une approche pédagogique à la fois structurée et bienveillante. Je suis actuellement une formation afin de devenir professeure d’allemand dans le secondaire. Mes cours s’appuient sur des méthodes d’enseignement modernes, notamment l’approche actionnelle et les recommandations du CECRL. Je les construis en fonction des besoins et des objectifs de chaque apprenant, afin de lui permettre de progresser pas à pas et de devenir pleinement acteur de son apprentissage. J’accorde une attention particulière à l’expression orale, essentielle pour gagner en confiance, tout en développant de manière rigoureuse les compétences écrites.

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.
