NEW: Intense Speaking Session with written feedback&grammar support&Boni I would like my students to be able to speak to German speakers about anything from small talk to much more complex topics such as sport, literature, cinema, politics - anything you normally would talk about in your mother tongue. For those whose level is not good enough yet for a proper conversation, I'll teach you grammar and vocabulary to get you started. I have a postgraduate teaching qualification from the Goetheinstitut but more important I have been learning and teaching languages nearly all my life so I have experienced both sides. Living abroad and talk another language can be difficult but also fun once you get a better understanding how the language works.

Let's practice speaking German together I have been tutoring all my life and also always had friends around that I helped with German or English. As I have always wished for help with my language learning journey, I'm more than happy to help out when people are wanting to learn German. I want to make learning fun and connected to your interests. It's important to me to create an atmosphere where it's okay to making mistakes, because that is how we learn best. I'm very patient so you don't have to worry about the level of German you have, I'm here to listen :)

My first teaching experience was in Istanbul through AIESEC, where I discovered how much I enjoy helping others learn and develop their language skills. I also worked as an interpreter and legal advisor at the Legal Clinic in Saarbrücken, experiences that significantly strengthened my communication skills and my ability to work with people from different backgrounds.

I teach all levels, from beginners to advanced. We will master new grammar and vocabulary through conversations and lots of exercises.

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.

Diese Zeit ist ganz für dich! Ich liebe es, Sprachen zu lernen und meine Muttersprache Deutsch zu unterrichten. In der Schule war ich selbst eine sehr schlechte Schülerin, denn ich habe nicht verstanden, wofür ich all das lernen soll. Heute bin ich froh über diese Erfahrung, denn es macht mich zu einer besserin Lehrerin. Im Zentrum stehst immer du als Schüler*in und ich versuche den für dich besten Unterricht zu kreieren.

Native German teacher | 4+ years experience | DLL-certified (Goethe-Institut) In 2020, I started working as a science teacher at an international school, teaching children aged 8–12. After completing a 120-hour TEFL course, I also began tutoring English privately for kids. Through these experiences, I discovered how much I enjoy teaching and supporting students in their learning journey. That’s why I decided to focus on the language I feel most at home with—German. I’ve now been teaching German on italki for over four years, working with learners from all around the world. In 2024, I also successfully completed the DLL (Deutsch Lehren Lernen) course at the Goethe-Institut, which further strengthened my skills as a language teacher.

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!

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
