The best German tutors for you

Speak With Confidence, Get Your Dream Job & Find Friends For Life Over the past couple years I've been teaching thousands of hours of German for beginners, intermediate and advanced students to help them prepare for the "Deutschtest für Zuwanderer". It's always a pleasure to see the progress my students make.

Structured German Lessons for Levels A1–B2+ I obtained a C1 certificate in German in 2023 after several years of systematic study. I am currently pursuing a degree in Translation Studies at the University of Graz and also completed a Bachelor of Music at the University of the Arts Graz in 2023. I am calm and approachable, but I value discipline, responsibility, and respect. I believe in steady, long-term progress rather than quick results. Learning a language is like training a muscle - it takes patience and regular effort. I create a focused atmosphere where mistakes are part of the process, but effort is expected. My role is to guide and support you, but real progress is always a shared responsibility. I bring structure and clarity; you bring commitment. My approach is individual. I create a calm and structured learning environment where progress happens without unnecessary stress. I believe in discipline - but a quiet, supportive one. My lessons are clearly planned, yet flexible enough to adapt if we need more time for a topic or space for spontaneous conversation. During speaking activities, I usually let you finish your thoughts before correcting mistakes, so you can build confidence without feeling interrupted. At the same time, I make sure that errors are addressed and understood. Homework and regular revision are part of the process - consistent practice and repetition are key to real progress.

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

Native German Teacher & Certified TELC Examiner | 10,000+ Lessons ***You will make progress if you enjoy the process*** Hi, my name is Lea and I am a native German, currently living in Bulgaria. I spent some years in New Zealand, Australia, Chile, and Portugal. I have a background in pedagogy and 6 years of teaching experience with students aged 2-75, in groups and one on one lessons. As your tutor I will help you: 1. to feel comfortable in everyday conversations in German. 2. to maintain motivation and to enjoy the process of acquiring a new language. 3. to become "your own best teacher" so you can make the most of learning on your own. I believe that our time is best spent having interesting and enjoyable conversations about whatever you are passionate about, as that is the one thing that is hard to practice on your own. However, I also think that exposing yourself to the language in your everyday life in as many ways as possible is important. I am happy to talk about different strategies with you on how to do that. If it will help your progress I will create a structure for your learning language process and of course, help out with grammar explanations etc. if necessary. I'm looking forward to our conversation and getting to know you! ***You will make progress if you enjoy the process!***

Certified Linguist and DaF Instructor here to help you to improve your German! I studied Linguistics and Media Studies and currently working as a German teacher in different institutions, since I also got the supplementary qualification in "German as a Foreign Language" to professionally support non-native speakers on their long journey with the German language. I immigrated at a young age and grew up bilingual, therefore I have a valuable perspective from both sides and would like to use my language skills to help learners of German with the challenges that come with this beautiful, but also demanding language. The same goes for Spanish! The best way to learn a language will always be to speak it! As a student I've worked in my university department and taught the basics of linguistics in small group seminars to students there. In terms of German teaching I've helped out in a language school for adolescents in Cambridge, England and I have been working in public and private institutions like the university or DAA. My teaching is based on the intercultural model of language instruction. Speaking, writing and insights into the culture are my top priorities, combined with traditional grammar exercises if desired. If you're in need of recommendations of textbooks or worksheets, I can also help out!

Language learner and patient tutor I am very patient and understand the struggles of learning a new language as I have spent a couple years on italki as a student myself and continue taking lessons regularly. As a tutor I try to do the things that I have found most useful as a learner. We can speak about what interests you, read texts together or watch videos online and then talk about those. I do want to help you with whatever you need, so we will start by speaking about your goals and expectations regarding the lessons. I do not believe in studying grammar charts or vocabulary lists, but I do believe in improving those areas by gaining a natural understanding of how a language works through listening, reading an speaking.

You may know me from Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten (GZSZ). I’ve also worked on international productions for Netflix, Disney+, the Hungarian State Opera, ZDF and numerous independent projects across Europe.

Ein nettes Gespräch bei einer Tasse Tee ~ Ich bin ein sehr positiver und bestärkender Lehrer, besonders weil ich weiß, wie schwierig es manchmal sein kann, Sprachen zu lernen. Es ist mir wichtig, meinen Unterricht zu einem Raum zu machen, in den man gerne kommt und den man mit einem guten Gefühl verlassen kann. Ich kann niemandem die Arbeit des Lernens abnehmen, aber ich kann versuchen, das Drumherum so angenehm und herzlich wie möglich zu gestalten! I'm a very positive and encouraging teacher, especially because I know how difficult learning a new language sometimes can be. It's very important to me to make my lessons a space, people like to come to. I want people to leave my lessons with a good feeling.
