Certified by Goethe Institut, licensed Telc examiner, experienced full-time teacher Hello and welcome! Thank you for your interest in professional German lessons with me. I am an experienced full-time teacher of German as a foreign language. I hold a teaching qualification issued by the Goethe-Institut and am accredited by the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) to teach government-funded German courses for the workplace and for medical professionals. I have gained over 10,000 hours of teaching experience at all levels and would be happy to help you learn my beautiful language in a systematic, structured and enjoyable way! I have a large library of digital textbooks that we can use as the basis for our lessons, and I make sure that the materials are ideally suited to your learning goals. I have also written and published my very own grammar textbook, which we can use in class as well. Most of my students are experienced professionals themselves who are preparing to build their careers in a German-speaking country. To give you maximum flexibility and independence in your learning journey, I suggest a blended-learning approach in which you invest a few hours per week in guided self-study and complement this with one interactive tutoring lesson per week. Of course, we can adjust the frequency of our lessons to your individual preferences, needs and schedule. If you have any special requests, please do not hesitate to send me a message. I will be happy to tailor the lesson content and teaching style to whatever suits you best!

Muttersprachlicher Lehrer | 7+ Jahre Erfahrung mit nachweisbaren Erfolgen Hallo, ich bin Gottfried und ich unterrichte Deutsch seit über sieben Jahren. Ich komme aus der Region Hannover, der Heimat des klarsten Hochdeutschs — das Deutsch, das du in den Nachrichten hörst und das die meisten Lernenden sprechen möchten. Das Unterrichten liegt in meiner Familie: Auch mein Vater ist Deutschlehrer. Viele meiner Lernenden sind Expats, die in Deutschland leben, arbeiten und studieren — oder sich darauf vorbereiten. Ich kenne das echte Alltagsdeutsch, das du wirklich brauchst: für Job, Studium, Behörden und dein tägliches Leben. — Echte Sprache von Anfang an. Du sprichst, wirst verstanden, gewinnst Sicherheit — die Grammatik fügt sich natürlich ein. — Niemals Druck. Keine Angst vor Fehlern. Fehler sind Teil davon, wie das Gehirn die Sprache findet. Ich arbeite mit Anfängern und Wiedereinsteigern — strukturiert, mit Materialien, in klarem Hochdeutsch. Neugierig, wie sich Deutsch ohne Angst anfühlt? Buche eine Probestunde, und wir beginnen.

Goethe-Institute Expert 🇩🇪 | 커리어 & 시험 대비 | Polyglot (KR/AR/EN/ES) I turn German’s complexity into a structured journey for career professionals, relocation seekers, and hobbyists. My methodology focuses on high-energy results: Real-Time Syntax Correction: I act as a structural architect, fixing errors in real-time so correct syntax becomes a reflex. Integrated Communication: Every concept is applied to real-world speaking immediately. Expert Coaching: Specialist training for Goethe, Telc, and TestDaF and job interview preparation. Interactive Learning: We use Kahoot and Wordwall to make grammar a challenge, not a chore. Como estudiante de B1, entiendo los retos de aprender alemán y te ayudaré a hablar con confianza.

relaxed german conversations Ich bin 35 Jahre alt und komme aus Berlin aber lebe seit 7 Jahren in Malaga und bin seit 2020 Tutorin auf Italki. Ich lese und reise sehr gerne und habe ein großes Interesse an psychologischen Themen, Gesundheit, Ernährung und kunst, aber auch an allem was mit verschiedenen Sprachen und Kulturen zu tun hat. ich würde sagen ich bin eine geduldige Lehrerin und lasse dem Schüler Zeit in aller Ruhe die Sätze zu konstruieren.( jedenfalls hoffe ich das haha) Das grösste Problem ist, finde ich, dass Leute sich unter Druck gefühlt setzen eine Sprache in kurzer Zeit beherrschen zu müssen und schnell in selbiger Sprache antworten zu müssen. Wenn man sich weniger unter Druck gesetzt fühlt, kann man sich auch besser ausdrücken. Ausserdem versuche ich das Selbstbewusstein des Schülers in der Sprache zu stärken. Meinen Unterrichtsstil werde ich an die Wünsche der Schüler anpassen. Generell lege ich Wert auf ungezwungene, spontane Unterhaltungen. aber für Anfänger werde ich auch einige Grammatikübungen integrieren wenn sie es wünschen.

From Chicago 🇺🇸 | Lived in Barcelona 🇪🇸 | Now in Berlin 🇩🇪 | 10+ years teaching experience 📚 Hello everyone! I’m a passionate language learner and traveler originally from Chicago. During university, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Barcelona, and that experience certainly changed my life. It sparked my passion for travel, cultures, and language learning. That journey eventually led me to learn German and move to Berlin, where I currently live. Because I’ve learned languages myself and experienced life abroad, I truly understand both the challenges and the excitement that come with learning a new language. If you want to build confidence speaking English, Spanish, or German, I’d love to help! My lessons focus on conversation because speaking is the key to improving naturally and confidently. One important thing about my teaching style: I will correct your mistakes. Making mistakes is an essential part of language learning — it’s how we improve. I create a supportive environment where you can practice, make errors, learn from them, and become a more confident speaker. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your language journey! --------------- Please note that I am currently only teaching one day per week (Tuesday evening Berlin time) at the moment. Thank you for understanding!

✹PROFESSIONAL NATIVE GERMAN TEACHER WITH PASSION✹ I started teaching German to international students in 2009 as a private tutor during my university studies. During that time I realized that this is my true passion, because I love to work with people and seeing progress in my students makes me feel proud and truly happy. After graduation I took several courses to become a professional teacher and soon got a job at a reputable high school in Taiwan. Besides teaches classes, I still tutor private students and currently I am on a temporary leave to travel the world, while still tutoring online and funding my dream through italki.

MULTICULTURAL TEACHER (Brazil/Germany/USA) with 8 years' experience! 🤗 Hey! Having grown up in a very multi-cultural environment (German, Brazilian and American) and having travelled a bit around the world, I've collected many stories and culture tips as I went along and can discuss about the most varied topics! 😊 I have a Bachelor's degree in Economics and therefore have a solid background in Business, so that can be a topic of discussion as well! I am REALLY passionate about exchanging with people, seeing their evolution and, more than anything, being a part of this process! I have been teaching German, English and Portuguese for 8 years. I started tutoring Business English at a university in Germany, which I then continued doing online, as well as preparing students for job interviews and for German and English proficiency tests. I also have experience teaching children and teens and love connecting with them! I work my hardest to get to know my student and teach a class that is interesting to you and that meets your needs the best. Learning should be fun! Especially when you just got back from a long, hard day... I use an inductive approach, encouraging you to make as many associations as possible to other subjects within the language being learned as well as to your personal experience. =) So, if you want to have a structured class while having a lot of fun, just go ahead and book a class with me! Please use a computer in class as you can then see the video as well as the messages and the material that I will possibly be sharing =D

Native German Speaker | Experienced with Chinese Students I am a native speaker of German with lifelong interests in other cultures, histories, and languages — especially literary Chinese (文言文). I hope I can help people here almost as much as I myself have been helped. Over the years, I have taught students of many different levels — from complete beginners to advanced learners — including Chinese students and native speakers preparing for their Abitur (Germany) or Matura (Austria) exams. These exams are vaguely comparable to the Chinese 高考 or British A-Levels. In my classes, I try to go beyond mere memorisation and help students develop a natural understanding of the language. Many grammatical rules make far more sense once one understands the distinctions they express in everyday speech. This is also the reason for my nickname, MrSemantic. I teach German with a clear standard accent (Hochdeutsch) and on a high formal level that can serve students well in professional and academic contexts. At the same time, I am very happy to adapt lessons to each student’s personal interests and needs. When I am not here teaching you or recording audio to guide you through the jungle of pronunciation, I enjoy bird photography, vigorous exercise, and far too much reading.

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.

Native German | Goals from A-Z | All Levels & Ages | Conversation and/or Structure and/or Strategy My interest in teaching started early when I helped my siblings first. Later I completed my degree as a foreign language secretary in GER, ENG + FR (Business Correspondence/Translation/Interpreting = social and professional interaction). After that I began tutoring and soon realized how much I enjoy helping people make real progress. Since joining italki in early 2019, I have been rated a Top 1% German Teacher in 2023. My students have a success rate of about 99.5%, usually achieving results even better than expected. Learning a language is not only about grammar — it’s about communication, confidence, and understanding people. Everyone is welcome and speaking one's mind is encouraged
