Tutor in German literature, philosophy and art As a teacher I apt for mutual respect, always trying to foster my students' skills instead of being too insistent on their weaknesses. Depending on the respective level of my students, I give them different - often more creative - tasks in order for them to become familiar with difficult demands such as German grammar in a more playful way.

Erfahrene Lektorin, die Sprache mit Emotionen verbindet Zuerst habe ich als Praktikantin im Goethe-Institut Bratislava geleitet. Innerhalb von 6 Monaten ist die Teilnehmeranzahl von zwei auf über zehn gestiegen. Seit April 2024 habe ich mich dem Unterrichten vollständig gewidmet und mit Studenten von Lidl und der Deutschen Telekom gearbeitet. Ich versuche immer Themen individuell zu erstellen, damit der Wortschatz auch im alltäglichen Leben hilfreich und verwendbar ist. Nichts bringt Sprache besser bei, als über das zu sprechen, was einem selbst am Herzen liegt. Für mich ist Humor und Lachen in der Stunde besonders wichtig, denn erst dann prägt sich das Wissen erst richtig ein. Wichtig sind für mich also: Individualität, Emotionen, Persönlichkeit

German coach For me it's important to make sure that my students are confident in their skills to build upon them. Language learning often is hard and time consuming. So I want to make it as fun as possible by using media and motivate students by showing them what they have achieved so far using practical examples. Es ist mir wichtig, sicherzugehen, dass meine Schüler sicher in ihren Fertigkeiten sind, um darauf aufzubauen. Eine Sprache zu lernen ist oftmals schwierig und zeitintensiv. Daher möchte ich ihnen es so angenehm wie möglich machen, indem ich verschiedene Medien nutze und sie dahingehend motivere, dass ich ihnen anhand von praktischen Beispielen zeige, was sie bereits erreicht haben.

Ich habe in den letzten Jahren oft Freunden beim Deutschlernen geholfen und schnell gemerkt, wie viel Freude mir das vermittelt. Auch in meinem früheren Job im Online-Marketing und Kundenservice wurde mir bewusst, dass mir persönliche Beratung und Kommunikation besonders liegen. Seit November 2025 gebe ich nun Konversations-Deutschunterricht. Ich liebe es, remote und ortsunabhängig am Laptop zu arbeiten.

Polyglot teacher with over 10 years experience of teaching languages As a polyglot, I would like to help you develop methods to leverage the knowledge of all of your languages and dialects in learning German. Of course it is perfectly fine, if you are monolingual. Professionally, in language teaching, I own a certificate for language teaching to adults specializing among other things in teaching writing systems. Here, as a teacher, I intend to develop materials and routines which will help you most achieve your goals in learning German. We will identify those linguistic structures in German together, which are most alien to you given your possibly multilingual background. It is those structures which are usually hardest to learn.

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 see value in a lot of different methods of language learning. However, the best method is useless if you lose motivation halfway, and even with a less efficient method you can be successful in learning a language if you have fun doing it. That is why I am convinced that maintaining passion and motivation should be on top of our priority list.

I love teaching German 😊 Dear Students, Teaching is something I truly love. My goal is to help you learn German in a relaxed yet focused environment—on your schedule and at your own pace. Our shared objective: that after each 60-minute lesson, you walk away knowing more about the topic than you did before—*and* we’ve had an enjoyable time learning together 😊 A little about me: • I previously owned two language schools in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. • I’m also the author of *Aber Gern! Deutsch im Hotel*, Volumes 1 and 2 — coursebooks I created for German classes at the BPLP Hotel College in Bali, Indonesia

Hi there! I'm Kristina and I can teach you Norwegian =) Do you want to speak Norwegian like a native? Then you're in the right place! I know how challenging it might be to start learning a new language, so here on italki I would like to help you as much as I can with your progress in Norwegian and also to keep your motivation up. During the first lesson I will be able to evaluate your Norwegian proficiency and understand your goals and expectations. Then we move on with learning whatever is important to you at that moment, anything from reading texts and grammar training to conversational practice and pronunciation. The important thing for me is that you’re enjoying the lessons with me and that you feel at ease when practicing Norwegian.

I'm a qualified German teacher from Zürich, Switzerland. I have been teaching on italki since 2020 and have worked with students from all over the world. My students have a variety of goals – from improving conversational fluency and integrating into life in Zürich to preparing for exams. As a Züri City native, I offer lessons in both Standard German (Hochdeutsch) and Swiss German (Züritüütsch), the local Zürich dialect. Depending on your goals, we can focus on Hochdeutsch or dive into authentic Züritüütsch so you can speak like a local. I adapt to all levels and learning styles and I know how important it is to practice actively in a supportive and friendly space.
