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.

German through Stories & texts | Culture, history & geography | Beginners & Intermediate Level Hi, my name is Daniela and I can help you with conversation practice and structured lessons based on my own materials (short stories, non-fiction texts) and on materials taken from textbooks (general and some Business German ) In my courses, I will encourage you to speak without being afraid of making mistakes. However, I will address the mistakes you make and help you get rid of them. I'm an introvert which makes me a good listener and I'm also very patient. Please note that I only work with adults and that I do NOT offer exam or job interview preparation. Fun fact about me: I'm a huge Elvis Presley fan :-)

Hallo, ich unterrichte seit über fünf Jahren Deutsch auf italki und liebe es, Menschen beim Deutschlernen zu begleiten. Mir ist wichtig, dass du wirklich etwas aus meinem Unterricht mitnimmst. Wir können Sprachgebrauch, Grammatik, Lektüre und alle Themen die dich interessieren durchgehen. Ich persönlich interessiere mich für Kunst, Fremdsprachen, Reisen und Kulturen. Ich bin organisiert,flexibel und zielstrebig. Außerdem biete ich Übersetzungen sowie Korrekturlesen an. Wir können dich gerne auf Prüfungen wie Goethe, TELC, TestDaF vorbereiten, dabei wäre es optimal, wenn du mir deine Materialien zukommen lassen könntest. Je nachdem, wie weit du in der Grammatik und im Sprachgebrauch bist, machen wir Übungen, Tests, und natürlich gibt es Hausaufgaben, wenn du willst. Wenn du einfach frei sprechen willst, dann gestalte ich die Stunden so, dass wir uns über ein Thema, das dich interessiert, unterhalten. Korrektur gibt es immer und die Aussprache wird geübt. Gerne philosophiere ich mit dir auf Deutsch über das Leben, wenn du schon gut Deutsch kannst, und die Sprache üben möchtest. Künstler,Musikanten,...alle sind willkommen! Außerdem biete ich Übersetzungen an.

German for beginners to intermediate (A1–B2) | Conversational & Structured Lessons I focus on helping students actually speak German with confidence. Many learners understand grammar but struggle to express themselves in real conversations — that’s exactly what we work on together. In my lessons, we: - practice real-life conversations (daily life, work, travel) - improve pronunciation and sentence structure - learn grammar in a practical and easy-to-understand way I teach students from A1 to C1 and also prepare learners for exams like Goethe. Every lesson is structured but adapted to your personal goals. If you want to feel more confident speaking German, I’m here to help.

German for real life: conversations, interviews & confident communication (A1–C2) Hi, I’m Niels — a German teacher with a background in political science and over 10 years of teaching experience across Europe. I help learners use German confidently in real situations — in conversations, at work, and in job interviews. My lessons focus on speaking, reacting, and expressing ideas clearly. We work with real topics like society, culture, and everyday life, but also practical situations such as interviews, presentations, and professional communication. I give clear corrections and explanations, so you improve your grammar while actively speaking. I mainly work with learners from B1 to C1 who want more than textbook German — people who want to communicate effectively and think in German. What I offer • Real conversation & fluency (B1–C1) • Job interview preparation • Professional German (work & communication) • Discussion & argumentation training • Grammar in context (through speaking) • Structured, personalized lessons

Lehrer mit 6 Jahren Erfahrung. POLYGOLT(6SPRACHEN:Deutsch, Spanisch, Italienisch, Eng., Port., Fra.) Hallo! Ich bin Johannes – dein Südtiroler Sprachcoach für Standarddeutsch *und* Dialekt (ja, ich unterrichte beides!). Mit 6 gelernten Sprachen weiß ich genau, wie man Grammatik-Hürden meistert und *echte* Konversation trainiert. Meine 40 bereiste Länder und Jahre im Ausland fließen in jeden Unterricht: Lerne Deutsch, wie es im Alltag, auf Reisen oder im Job *wirklich* gesprochen wird – mit kulturellen Insights und praktischen Tricks! Hello! I’m Johannes – your South Tyrolean language coach for *both* standard German *and* dialect (yes, I teach both!). As a polyglot (6 languages!)... Das Unterrichten von Sprachen ist meine Leidenschaft - ich habe Erfahrung im Unterrichten in Schulen sowie im virtuellen Unterricht. Es macht mir wirklich Spaß, Gespräche zu führen und sicherzustellen, dass der Schüler eine gute Klasse hat, in der er Fortschritte macht und das Gefühl hat, viel gelernt zu haben. Ich bin sehr begeistert von Sprachen, Menschen und Unterricht. The decision is all on you, unless you want me to decide. We can - talk freely (best would be in german, english only if you need explanation!) - work with a book - work with materials I provide - read other, foreign texts (Children's books, Fairytales, Newspapers) On the beginning, it would be good if you could tell me - your level of the language - your expectations - what you like and don't like to do - how many lessons you intend to take

Goethe certificate in methodology and didactics: Trained teacher with over 8 years of experience I am very lucky because I love my profession. But passion alone is not enough to be a good teacher. You also need didactic, methodical and pedagogical skills. For this reason I decided to attend the distance learning course "DaF Methodik und Didaktik" at the Goethe Institute in June 2019. I successfully passed the final exam. I am convinced that teachers need to be constantly trained, too. So they are able to offer their students the best teaching performance.

Speaking is the best way to learn a language, so my lessons usually center around having an actual conversation in German, but I will also give you grammar instructions and help you with pronunciation as and when necessary. If you struggle with any particular grammar topic, we can of course also dedicate a whole lesson to that. Generally I'm happy to adapt myself to your needs and preferences. While we talk, I make extensive notes in a google document, I write down new vocabulary with example sentences, grammar instructions, corrections, etc. You'll have access to this document during and after the classes.

Teaching with profession and passion ;-) It is very important to me that everyone enjoys my lessons. I believe it is very important to be relaxed and have fun while learning, so I make it a point to provide an environment that is free from stress and enjoyable. I really think, enjoying learning is already halfway to success. :-) I have already learned some languages as well and I am still learning more, so I really understand the difficulties of learning a new language, but I also have experience in how to overcome those as well. I am currently learning Chinese and I enjoy it very much.
