German & Swiss German teacher with 6+ years of experience I'm a calm and patient teacher who always tries to take the learner's point of view. Don't worry about making mistakes - that's how you learn! My teaching experience goes beyond the classroom - I've also been a football (soccer) coach for close to a decade. Additionally, I'm a trained architect, a profession where I have to communicate complex concepts simply and clearly - a very useful skill for teaching languages!

Teaching 11 languages, currently learning 3 more, 20+ years of experience as a teacher Hello! My name is Thomas, a multilingual teacher fluent in 11 languages—with German and Slovenian as my native tongues and with a lifelong passion for studying new ones (I’m currently learning 3). With 25 years of teaching experience (20 as an independent tutor), I specialize in structured, school-style lessons tailored to your goals. Whether you’re starting from scratch or polishing fluency, I’ll help you build and improve skills systematically. When teaching I take my work seriously. A scheduled lesson becomes part of my weekly plan and I get ready for it. I conduct a detailed journal of what we have been doing, thus it is easy for me to check the content of our previous sessions. I used to teach students in physical classrooms. In 2021 I started using Skype for my lessons (today it's Teams) and things work out very well. I am always punctual as I respect the time my students take for our lessons, likewise I do appreciate if my students do the same. My lessons can be conducted in any of the following languages: German Slovenian English French Swedish Danish Norwegian Italian Spanish Dutch Esperanto I try to conduct my lessons in a way that resembles the conventional school as much as possible. Meaning a thorough explanation of the grammar with several carefully tailored examples, exercises, homework, checking the student's progress, listening and reading comprehensions and once the student's knowledge progresses sufficiently, having a conversation.

Grüezi! | Swiss German & German Tutor | Speak Naturally & Understand Real Swiss German Hello, I’m Thomas from Switzerland 🇨🇭, currently living in Tokyo 🇯🇵. I help learners understand and speak real Swiss German in everyday situations — and feel more confident and comfortable in conversation. I’m a professional Swiss German & German tutor with 5+ years of experience on italki. 👉 My lessons are for students who already speak German (A2+) and want to improve their speaking, listening, and communication skills. (I do not teach complete beginners.) Many learners understand High German but struggle with Swiss German in real life. I know how challenging that can be, and I’ll guide you step by step through it. My main focus is Swiss German, but I also teach High German (Standard German) and help you move naturally between both. My method is simple: we speak a lot. Through relaxed, natural conversations, you improve step by step and build real confidence. During lessons, I support you with: • clear corrections and helpful feedback • vocabulary & natural expressions • grammar explanations when needed I create my own Swiss German learning materials, designed specifically for learners, and run the YouTube channel “Swiss German Storytime”. I also share additional practice and learning resources on Patreon. My goal is to help you feel confident speaking and understanding Swiss German in everyday situations. Feel free to book a lesson — I’d be happy to work with you. Thomas

My teaching style is very open minded and flexible. During the intro I find out what the students require and how committed they are to their goals. I adapt my style to theirs: with some students I will be more laid back and with the more ambitious and focused ones (my favorites) I will more actively plan ahead. Both will get links to their hobbies/profession/studies. i am known to be "living with my students" and rejoice at their success in reaching their goals be this moving to a German speaking country, taking the immigration to simply learning the language of Goethe and Theodor Fontane.

My particular area of expertise is in phonetics and phonology, so I can help you to master the difficult sounds of German so that you feel more confident when you are speaking. However, I can help you with any aspect of your German that you would like to improve, including preparing you to take formal examinations like the DSH, the TestDaF and the Goethe Institut exams.
