The best German tutors for you

I'm back! Let’s wander through the German language, one conversation at a time During my studies in psychology, I was always drawn to the individual-centred approach and it is no different in language learning. No matter where you are right now, there are countless possibilities to get you to where you want to be. A lower level simply means more space to grow; a higher level opens the door to deeper, more meaningful conversations. So please don't feel ashamed to book a lesson, even if saying a single sentence confidently still feels difficult. :)

Learn German in a relaxed environment (for absolute beginners up to business German) Seit fast 6 Jahren helfe ich auf italki Studenten dabei, ihr Deutsch zu verbessern, beim freien Sprechen, für Prüfungen oder Vorstellungsgespräche. Mir ist wichtig, eine entspannte und positive Lernatmosphäre zu schaffen, in der du dich wohlfühlst und mit Freude Fortschritte machst. For almost six years, I have been supporting learners on italki in improving their German whether for speaking practice, exams, or job interviews. Creating a relaxed and positive learning atmosphere is important to me, so that you feel comfortable and enjoy making progress.

Zertifizierte ÖIF Unterrichtskraft mit 4 Jahren Erfahrung I have four years experience as a German teacher (among others I have working experience at Mango Languages where I am still teaching German)

Trilingual native speaker with extensive teaching experience C1-C2 level Language Coach Hello everyone, I’m Aleksandra! I’m here to help you break through language barriers and speak with confidence. It’s incredibly frustrating to pass an exam but then freeze during a real job interview because real-life communication is so different from school. I grew up trilingual (Serbian, English, and German) and I am on the C2 level. As a conversational coach, I work with all levels, focusing entirely on getting you to speak fluently and feel at ease. We will talk about topics that actually matter to you. Look forward to seeing you in class! Ich helfe euch dabei, Sprachblockaden zu lösen und selbstbewusst eine Fremdsprache zu sprechen. Es ist oft frustrierend, wenn man zwar die Prüfung bestanden hat, im echten Vorstellungsgespräch dann aber blockiert, weil die Praxis anders als die Schule ist. Ich bin dreisprachig aufgewachsen (Serbisch, Englisch, Deutsch) und besitze in allen drei Sprachen das C2-Niveau. Als Konversationstrainerin arbeite ich mit allen Sprachniveaus. Mein Fokus liegt ganz auf eurem freien Sprechen und dem Abbau von Hemmungen. Die Themen passen wir euren Interessen an. Ich freue mich auf unsere gemeinsamen Stunden! Tu sam da Vam pomognem da se opustite i oslobodite u govoru na stranim jezicima. Odrasla sam sa tri jezika (srpski, engleski i nemački) i u svima imam C2 nivo. Kao konverzacioni trener radim sa svim nivoima, a fokus mi je isključivo na Vašem govoru i samopouzdanju. Teme prilagođavamo Vašim potrebama i interesovanjima.

A language lover who would love to help you on your language journey ❤ I teach German and French to those looking to learn or improve their language skills. I can also help you prepare for German Certificate exams. My teaching style is calm and comprehensive, aimed at helping you develop a natural feel for the language and feel comfortable using it. Step out of your comfort zone and let’s talk! :)

37-year-old native speaker from Berlin; 10 years of italki experience; Goethe-Institut certified; passionate language learner; experience abroad (Canada, Czechia) I've taught more than 9000 lessons on italki, and I also have TEFL and CTEYL certificates for teaching English. I´ve spent a lot of time on reading studies, watching presentatiosn by polyglots and scientists, MOOCs (Computer Enhanced Language Learning, for example). I’ve also found that learning languages and taking lessons as a student on italki myself has helped me tremendously. Every student is different but with most students, I either do: 1) conversation-focused classes, where you learn grammar as it comes up and where we focus on pronunciation, translation, new concepts, and revision for about a third of the lesson. 2) Leveled courses (mostly A1-B2) where we work with a book. We focus on the things where working with a teacher is the most important (pronunciation, speaking, your questions, actually understanding the grammar, concepts, translation practice) and you can do the reading practice and the exercises on your own and at your own pace. I also offer exam preparation (usually Goethe) and pronunciation training

My aim is to help you unfold your language learning potential to the fullest. I believe that the more you enjoy learning, the faster and easier you become better at it. I want to know from you: What does it take for you to become a successful German speaker? With me as your teacher you will learn German the most natural way. Just as you did when you learned your mother-tongue or how to ride a bicycle. It all comes down to learning how to do things that you are naturally capable of.

I have been teaching all levels of an organization, from engineers as technical support for customer service to C-Level in one-on-one sessions to an auditorium of up to 100 students at the leading university in Taiwan. I customize each lesson to the student's needs and goals, providing specifically designed material to create professional, motivating lessons with the objective of my students becoming outstanding communicators.

Experienced German teacher / Customized lessons / All levels Hi my name is Maximilian, very nice that you found my profile! I'm 32 years old and I come from southern Germany. I have been giving German lessons several times a week for 8 years now. The most important thing for me is that the lessons are fun and effective - and that after each lesson you have learnt something new. I adapt to your needs. If you start from zero, you speak already a bit but you struggle with grammar (keyword "Kasus"), you speak fluently but you still want to improve, if you want to focus on German at work (Business german) - you can expect to receive customized lessons. I hope to see you soon!

FSP-Vorbereitung mit systemnaher Kommunikation Ich arbeite in der medizinischen Forschung an einem Universitätsklinikum und begleite internationale Ärzte bei der Vorbereitung auf die Fachsprachprüfung (FSP). Mein Interesse an diesem Bereich entstand bereits während meines Studiums im Wahlfach „Integrationsmentoring“, das sich mit der Integration internationaler Fachkräfte beschäftigte. Viele meiner Teilnehmer haben die Fachsprachprüfung in verschiedenen Bundesländern sowie in Österreich erfolgreich bestanden. Einen Teil dieser Prüfungserfolge findest du in meinen Bewertungen. Ich bin studierte Medizinische Dokumentarin (Studienschwerpunkt: Medizin, Statistik und Informatik) sowie Wirtschaftsinformatikerin. • Ich programmiere die Eingabemasken für die Dokumentation im Krankenhaus, zum Beispiel für verschiedene Arten von Anamnesen, und weiß, wie detailliert gefragt werden muss. • Ich lese routinemäßig viele Arztbriefe und überprüfe bei meinen Teilnehmern unter anderem, ob relevante Informationen und Pflichtangaben dokumentiert sind. • Mein Unterricht orientiert sich an den Kommunikations- und Dokumentationsanforderungen des Klinikalltags.

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.

Professional teacher with over 10 years experience I have a university degree (Bachelor and Master) in teaching languages and I have been teaching German, English and Spanish for over 5 years to students of different ages. My oldest student was 80 and I think he is a good example that it is never too late to start learning a new language or enhancing your language skills and taking your language learning to the next level. I'm a very patient and empathetic teacher who thinks mistakes are an important part of the learning process and whose goal it is to create a comfortable learning atmosphere for you.

**Schreibt mir einfach eine Nachricht, falls ihr Fragen zu meinem Kalender oder mir habt** Liebe Lernende, ich verstehe, dass ihr nach genau der richtigen Person sucht, die euch bei euren Lernprozessen begleitet. Ich kann euch nicht garantieren, dass ich diese Person bin. Aber in den letzten zehn Jahren, habe ich verstanden, dass die Passung sehr wichtig ist und dass Lernen als kognitiver Vorgang in einer guten Beziehung eingebettet sein sollte. Wenn ich mit euch zusammen arbeite, versuche ich auch deshalb viel Arbeit in diese affektive Komponente zu stecken. Ihr seid alle verschiedene Wege in eurer (Lern-)Biografie gegangen und manche Methoden, Materialien und Konzepte passen zu euch und wiederum andere gar nicht. Diese Grundbedingungen herauszufinden, ist eine gute Basis, um langfristig eure Zeit und damit euer Geld zu sparen. Ich selbst bin nicht die wichtige Komponente in dieser Rechnung. Ich bin einfach da für euch in euren Prozessen und begleite euch beim Spracherwerb. Trotzdem kurz ein paar hard facts, falls ihr die braucht: Ich arbeite in leitender Funktion bei einer Bildungsorganisation (Bereich Sprachen), bin polyglott und habe vom BAMF die Credentials, um alle Kurse unterrichten zu dürfen. Ich bin voll berufstätig und habe meistens nur am Abend (oder früh am Morgen) Zeit, aber genau deshalb kenne ich die Situation von berufstätigen Lernenden (mit oder ohne Kinder) genau.

Hello Everyone,  My name is Shona.  I grew up bilingual speaking English and German. having lived in France for 12 years now, I also speak French as well as an intermediate level in Spanish. As I learned French and Spanish as an adult I fully understand what obstacles we can face learning a language as an adult. I would be more than happy to help you along the way. I worked as a midwife for 15 years so I can also offer medical English and German. Hallo zusammen, Ich heisse Shona. Ich bin in Deutschland geboren und aufgewachsen bin bilingual Deutsch/Englisch Seit 12 Jahren wohne ich in Frankreich und spreche daher auch Französisch. I believe a language is best learned and practiced speaking it. So, I would be very happy to help you improve and learn English/German through conversations, discussions and debates. See you in the classroom :-). Ich glaube, dass man durch Sprechen am besten eine Sprache lernt und sich verbessert. Daher würde ich Dir sehr gerne durch Konversation, Diskussionen und Unterhaltung helfen dein Englisch/Deutsch zu verbessern. Bis bald :-) Choose me as your italki community teacher.

Certified English and German teacher with 10 years of experience Hi there, my name is Tim, I've been teaching English and German for over 10 years already. One of the greatest joys in my life is seeing my students' progress and successes. I come from Moscow but live in Belgrade now. I have myriads of hobbies that I pick up and then forget about, but some have stuck over the years and become a part of my identity – learning languages and making music. Recently I decided to try powerlifting, we'll see how it goes :) I teach general language skills with a structured approach paying special attention to using the language naturally in speech and writing. I can also help you prepare for exams (IETLS 7+, CAE, CPE for English and Goethe, telc and TestDaF for German). Conversation is the main staple of my lessons because I believe in learning by doing. When you speak, you have to actively remember and use the grammar and vocabulary you learned which helps retention and develops accuracy. It's also fun and for many of us it's the reason why we learn new languages – to talk to others! As a teacher, I believe my foremost responsibility is to create a safe and calm environment for my students so that nothing distracts you from learning. With me you will find acceptance, support and understanding and you will reach your language goals :)

Enthusiastic about helping YOU reach your language goals:) I pay close attention to my students and encourage them to speak as much as possible. I create a relaxed atmosphere where mistakes are welcome as we address them gently and learn from them by noticing and correcting recurring patterns. Ich achte sehr auf meine Schüler und ermutige sie, so viel wie möglich zu sprechen. In meinen Stunden entsteht eine entspannte Atmosphäre, in der Fehler erlaubt sind; wir besprechen sie und lernen, wiederkehrende Muster zu erkennen und zu verbessern. Я внимательно отношусь к своим ученикам и поощряю их говорить как можно больше. На уроках создаю спокойную атмосферу, где не страшно ошибаться; мы мягко разбираем ошибки и учимся замечать повторяющиеся моменты.
