I have several years of teaching experience especially with children aged between 12 and 16. My aim is to make language learning fun and efficient for everyone focusing mostly on conversations about every day life topics. The most important thing for me is to take your fear away and support you to become confident speaking your target language. I'm calm and patient and try to correct mistakes at the end of the conversation instead of interrupting my students in the middle of a sentence since making mistakes is unavoidable yet essential if you want to become fluent in a language.

Certified Polyglot German Teacher with Linguistics Background Hello! My name is Runzhi, and I am a certified German teacher for integration classes with over five years of experience. I hold a degree in German and English Philology (FU Berlin) and a teaching certificate from Humboldt University. Speaking five languages fluently, I understand the challenges of language learning from the inside and use that insight to help my students progress quickly and confidently. Outside teaching, I work in linguistic research and translation, and enjoy gardening, cooking, cinema, and the arts. I have taught German as a foreign language in diverse settings, from intensive courses to corporate training, both online and in person, with learners from A1 to C2. I specialise in building speaking confidence, refining grammar, and developing real-world communication skills. My lessons are clear, practical, and goal-oriented. I strike a balance between structure and active practice, tailoring each session to your needs. I focus on real-life topics and communication skills while reinforcing grammar and vocabulary in context. My teaching style can be fast-paced and challenging, especially if you're eager to make quick progress. I aim to create a space where you feel supported, motivated, and engaged every step of the way. I use a focus-on-form approach, where I integrate grammar into meaningful communication so you can apply it naturally.

Native German with 7+ years of experience in teaching conversational lessons I studied Egyptology and Islamic studies and moved to Egypt 12 years ago. I am passionate about animal welfare (you probably will see one or several of my cats during our lessons) and I like to talk about different topics like environmental issues, habits, cultures and traditions, healthy lifestyle and so on. As a teacher I am calm and patient and try to correct mistakes in a way that makes you feel comfortable and not afraid to make mistakes. I am currently not teaching beginners or children. My lessons start with completed A2 level. I don't teach grammar, but I can help you to improve your conversational skills. I mostly use audios with manuscript, articles, pictures or videos in my lessons. The most important for me is that you get to speak. That you feel comfortable talking in German and that you do not feel shy or afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes are the best way to learn and improve. Please be aware that it's not possible to cancel/reschedule the lesson if there is less than 24 hours before the lesson time begins. This includes time zone/lesson time misunderstandings, so please check your time zone before booking.

German for Beginners ~ Conversation Practice, Grammar & Excercises ~ German Text Correction Service Hello lovely human, Thanks for clicking on my profile. :) I'm Veronika, born and bred in Thuringia, the so called "Green Heart of Germany". I love my country, however I'm also curious about other amazing parts of our world so I recently lived in New Zealand for 2 and a half years, and later in Scotland and Portugal. I enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories about our unique experiences. At the moment I live and study in the beautiful city of Heidelberg. I believe learning a new language opens doors to many new opportunities for us! While travelling I realised how important and reassuring it is to have someone supporting and motivating you on your language journey. So my goal is to raise your confidence in all aspects: listening, speaking, reading and writing - and have fun together doing so! Therefore I will teach you in a personalised way that suits your learning style best. Depending on your current level and goals I offer 2 language courses: a Beginners course for A1-B1 students and a conversational course for B1 - C1 students. I like structuring the Beginners Course with the help of the "Schritte A1.1-B1.2" series. In the conversational course we talk about exciting topics to expand your vocabulary and raise your confidence in speaking, grammar use and sentence structure. I am providing materials according your needs for you, for example in form of PDF‘s, texts and exercises. We use a Google document to write down new vocabulary and grammar insights.

Learning from daily life - not just from books Hi, ich bin Sina! Als Tochter eines Journalisten bin ich mit einem großen Interesse an Sprache und einem feinem Gespür für dessen Nuancen aufgewachsen. Ich bin die komische Person, die Freude an schriftlichen Hausarbeiten hatte ;-) In meinen beruflichen Anfängen als Assistenz der GF habe ich seit 2009 regelmäßig wissenschaftliche als auch werbliche Texte geschrieben, Whitepaper zu diversen Themen verfasst - und auch übersetzt in die englische Sprache. Als Head of HR eines englisch-sprachigen Unternehmens in Deutschland habe ich unseren internationalen Mitarbeitenden seit 2019 zusätzlich regelmäßig die deutsche Sprache näher gebracht und ihnen bei den offiziellen Deutsch-Tests z.B. für die Einbürgerung geholfen - oder sie zu Termine begleitet, Schreiben ins englische übersetzt usw. Seit ich 2024 das reisen begonnen habe und nun remote arbeite, ist meine tägliche Sprache Englisch. So habe ich normal deutlich feststellen dürfen, was für einen großen Unterschied es im Lernen macht, eine Sprache mit jemandem zu sprechen, statt nur aus Büchern und Apps zu lernen! Immer wieder setze ich mich mit Menschen in Homestays zusammen und wir üben Englisch zusammen, beim Frühstück, bei einer Tasse Kaffee, ...... ganz entspannt. Das möchte ich auch dir remote ermöglichen! Es macht einfach viel mehr Spaß!! Denn gleichzeitig begegnen wir Menschen und ihren Geschichten und können über die Sprache besser und besser in Kontakt treten. Ich freue mich auf das gemeinsame Lernen! Deine Sina

Engaging English & German Tutor | Interactive Conversation, Real-Life Communication & Exam Prep Hi, I’m Elisa! I recently graduated from high school in Germany with top grades in English. I spent a full year living with a host family and going to high school in the USA, and I also did a 3-month school exchange in England, so I’ve experienced English both in the classroom and in everyday life. I tutored younger students in English and loved watching them improve quickly and gain more confidence. That’s what got me excited about teaching. I’m currently taking a gap year before university, and I want to share my passion for English with learners of all levels. My lessons are practical and focused on real-life communication, and I plan each lesson around what you want to work on, whether that’s exam prep, everyday conversation, or just feeling more confident speaking. I love helping students see real progress, step by step. Book a lesson with me, and make it happen!
A native Russian speaker with C1-C2 in German will help you use the language comfortably! Hallo! Mein Name ist Arsenii. Ich studiere im Masterstudiengang Psychotherapie in Deutschland. Meine Muttersprache ist Russisch, und ich beherrsche Deutsch auf einem soliden akademischen Niveau und wende es täglich an der Universität, im Alltag und auf der Arbeit an. Wenn dir die deutsche Grammatik schwerfällt, dir Artikel und Fälle Angst machen oder dich eine starke Sprachbarriere behindert – ich helfe dir gerne. Da ich selbst den gesamten Weg vom Nullpunkt bis zur flüssigen Kommunikation durchlaufen habe, kenne ich alle Schwierigkeiten sehr gut. Ich kann komplexe deutsche Regeln einfach, logisch und verständlich erklären. Was wir im Unterricht (1:1) machen werden: - 🗣️ Die Sprachbarriere überwinden: viel über alltägliche Themen sprechen (Arbeit, Alltag, Kommunikation im Supermarkt). - ⚙️ Die Grundlagen festigen (A1 – B1): lernen, Sätze korrekt zu bilden, ohne auswendig zu lernen. - 📄 Bei Interesse auch praktische Aufgaben lösen: üben, deutsche Briefe zu verstehen, Formulare auszufüllen oder sich auf den Umgang mit Behörden (Jobcenter/Bürgeramt) vorzubereiten. - 💻 Modern lernen: Wir unterrichten online (Zoom/Skype) mit interaktiven Whiteboards (Miro) – keine langweiligen alten Lehrbücher. Schreib mir gleich jetzt eine private Nachricht auf Russisch oder Deutsch, und wir finden einen passenden Termin!

DE/EN Teacher; Flexible Schedule; Software Dev; Crosstalk; ALG Method; Top Internet/Mic; NL,FR,ES,SW Hi! I’m Pirmin, German-born, lived in the Netherlands, Kenya, and now in Belgium. I teach German and English and enjoy relaxed, curious chats about culture, language, tech, psychology, and entrepreneurship, anything you’re genuinely into. I’m also a freelance software developer, so I bring a clear, practical mindset to lessons. My lessons are based on listening from the beginning (ALG, TPRS, Story Listening). From research and experience, I know how important engaging, comprehensible input (CI) that’s right for your level is to properly build the mental image of the language. This "natural" approach is much more effective for achieving real fluency than drilling grammar (see Fluent Forever). You'll learn how Germans really speak, not some stiff textbook version! I highly recommend Crosstalk (popularised by Dreaming Spanish) for the beginning to intermediate stages. I'll provide additional materials outside our lessons. I started teaching many years ago and still enjoy it very much today. I grew up in Germany and completed my CS degree there. So I can help you from zero German up to an advanced academic level. I use English every day and I'm on a native level (C2+). I also learned Dutch, a bit of Swahili, and I'm currently learning French (B1) and Spanish (A2). Prefer a preview? I make YouTube videos completely in German for levels A0 to B2 under the name "ALG German - Comprehensible Input" New here? Book a trial to see if you like me as a teacher. Bis bald! See you!

I want to help you feel more at ease when you speak German. As a journalist I am used to talking with people I´ve never met before, and being a passionate language learner myself, I know what it´s like to struggle to speak a foreign language. I know that mistakes are not a bad thing, but part of the learning process.
