Certified DaF Teacher | Business German | MBA & LL.M. Hello, I'm Josie, and I help international professionals find their voice in the German workplace. I teach them to advocate for themselves and enjoy living in Germany. Have you worked here for years, understood everything in meetings, but frozen when it was your turn to speak? Do you want to negotiate a better salary at your next review or understand why your German colleagues seem so direct? That's where I come in! I speak five languages and have lived and worked in several countries, so I understand the learner's perspective and the professional's perspective of trying to thrive in a culture that isn't their own. Outside of teaching, I'm a documentary photographer who has visited over 30 countries, and I play flag football. I love good conversations, and I design my lessons around them. I am a certified DaF (Deutsch als Fremdsprache) teacher, Goethe-Institut certified, and I have taught learners from A1 to C1 levels, from complete beginners to advanced professionals refining their final 10%. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Specialized Translation (Economics), an MBA in Marketing and Data Management, and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Information Law. This combination is particularly relevant to my focus area: Business German. I understand not just the language, but also the world in which you operate — contracts, compliance, negotiations, and corporate communication.

Learn to speak German - With a native Speaker // Aprende alemán hablando - Con un hablante nativo I teach in Spanish, English and German Ich möchte die Einheiten möglichst entspannt gestalten – du sollst Spaß beim Lernen haben, denn ich denke, dass es so einfacher ist, konsequent weiter zu lernen. Ich selbst habe die Sprachen, die ich beherrsche, mit wenig Grammatik gelernt – somit sind Gespräche und nicht Grammatik zu meiner Art zu unterrichten geworden. Quiero que las sesiones sean lo más relajadas posible: quiero que disfrutes aprendiendo, porque pienso que así es más fácil seguir aprendiendo de forma constante. Yo mismo aprendí los idiomas que domino con poca gramática, así que las conversaciones —y no la gramática— se convirtieron en mi forma de enseñar.

Approachable, curious, genuine ... somewhat silly. 😌 Hey you! ✌️😄 I have over five years of teaching experience and 800+ lessons completed, and my students keep coming back. They often say it’s because I focus less on being overly “teacherly” and more on being human—real conversations and genuine connection. I live in Finland, run a small business, and study Psychology at the master’s level online. Outside the classroom, I lift weights, wrestle, read, write, and treat good food very seriously. Life has tested me more than once, which has made me approachable, grounded, and a genuinely good listener. My lessons aren’t heavy or intense, though—rather thoughtful, supportive, and full of humour (and the occasional glitch in the matrix 😄). I do not offer grammar lessons, and I work exclusively with fluent speakers. My lessons are laid back. I am good at listening, helping you find the right words, and I'll correct you if necessary. I will also type the words down in the chat if you find it useful. Session recordings are welcome.

A polyglot who will teach you the way Germans really speak. The reason why I started to teach on italki were my friends who told me that I was a huge help for them while we we're doing a language exchange. So I wanna help other people to improve their German. I'm a really patient and passionate teacher. My biggest aim will be that you speak German as natural as possible. I pay a lot of attention to mistakes and pronunciation. I was told that I speak German very slowly compared to other German natives and explain things in a easy way.

Deutsch lernen mit Spaß & klarer Grammatik und Struktur Dear learners, My name is Isabel, and I have had a passion for languages my whole life. Having lived abroad for many years, I’ve learned English, Spanish, French, and Italian myself—so I truly understand the challenges of learning a new language. I’ve been teaching since I was 13 and have focused on teaching German for the past three years. What motivates me most is seeing my students gain confidence, express themselves more freely, and make real progress. I combine structure, clarity, and motivation to help you reach your goals efficiently. Thanks to my experience as a multilingual learner, I can quickly identify common mistakes and explain them in a simple and understandable way in German, English and Spanish, partly also in French. I focus on what really matters: helping you use German actively and confidently, not just understand it. At the same time, I create a positive and encouraging learning environment, because I believe that progress happens fastest when you feel comfortable, engaged, and motivated. My lessons are fully tailored to your level, goals, and learning style. I combine clear explanations with practical application, so you can use what you learn immediately. What you can expect: • Clear and simple grammar explanations • A strong focus on speaking and real-life communication • Targeted correction to help you avoid repeating mistakes • Structured lessons with a clear learning path • An engaging and motivating atmosphere where learning feels natural

I want to improve people’s language skills and take their fear of learning a new language. Learning a new language is not difficult. It is practice and courage. Most important about learning a new language is speaking. I focus a lot on correct pronunciation and talking like local people. Important : Currently, I am only accepting students who already know how to speak basic German.

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.

Zertifizierte DAF Lehrkraft mit über vier Jahren Unterrichtserfahrung I am convinced that learning a new language in a natural way like children do, is the best and most efficient way to speak on a native level. You don't have to struggle with endless amounts of grammar exercises, studying grammar books or long lists of vocabulary in order to gain fluidity. Before children learn about grammar rules in school they are about 10 years and speak fluently. I have been tutoring children and teenagers for 10 years now and concentrating on conversations mostly as well as keeping them motivated is one of the most essential tools. Seeing my students making progress and achieving their goal within only a short time is an incredibly rewarding experience!

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!

Certified teacher helping you to speak more confidently Hallo & Hei hei! I'm a certified German and Norwegian teacher and an open-minded citizen of the world who loves languages, people, walks in nature, cats, humor, different cultures, art, spicy food and learning new things. My professional background ranges from teaching to tourism, management and humanitarian work. Being originally from Germany, I am fortunate to have lived in different parts of the world, right now I'm home in Norway and Portugal, who know where the journey goes next... Wir sprechen uns & Vi snakkes! It is important for me to get to know my students, so I can adjust to their language levels, aims, learning styles, interests strengths and challenges. Having learned several languages myself, together with my professional background in language teaching and my own personality, gives me a very patient, flexible and joyful approach to teaching and learning languages. I am happy to stay flexible and adjust lessons individually to each student. We all learn differently and might also have different goals. I like to mainly focus on conversation and practical every-day language use, as well as building confidence in a relaxed atmosphere which allows to make (and also laugh about) mistakes. Besiodes that lessons might include some reading, listening, vocabulary, a tiny bit of grammar and a wide range of authentic material. I am happy to help you on every step of your language learning journey, at the very start, somewhere in the middle or on an advanced level.
