The best German tutors for you

Not sure where to start or how to feel more confident speaking German? Good. That's where we begin. Hi, I'm Heike. I’ve been teaching German online since 2016, and what I enjoy most is that moment when something suddenly clicks and learners realise: “I can actually do this.” I work with all levels, but I have a soft spot for beginners. I hold a Magistra Artium in Ethnology, Archaeology & Sociology, and yes, I worked as an archaeologist in Peru. That background shapes how I teach: language is not just grammar, but culture, history and people. In my lessons, you speak from day one. We work with real-life situations and build your confidence step by step. A shared Google Doc keeps everything in one place. For grammar, I use Deutschfuchs. Homework is optional, but it really helps. Hola, soy Heike. Enseño alemán online desde 2016, y lo que más me gusta es ese momento en que algo encaja y el estudiante piensa: “sí puedo hacerlo”. Trabajo con todos los niveles, pero tengo especial cariño por principiantes. ¿No sabes por dónde empezar? Por ahí empezamos. Tengo una Magistra Artium en Etnología, Arqueología y Sociología, y sí, trabajé como arqueóloga en Perú. Esa experiencia define mi enfoque: el idioma no es solo gramática, sino cultura, historia y personas. En mis clases hablas desde el primer día. Trabajamos con situaciones reales y construimos tu confianza paso a paso. Un Google Doc compartido lo guarda todo. Para la gramática uso Deutschfuchs. Explico con claridad, hago las preguntas adecuadas y doy feedback honesto. Los deberes son opcionales, pero ayudan de verdad.

Language Teaching YouTuber and Polyglot Physician What allowed me to learn so many languages in a short time frame were the teachings of the famous linguist Dr. Stephen Krashen, which I also implement in my teaching style. I focus on real-life communication, clear explanations, and building your confidence step by step.

Here to Deutsch up your life! Native Speaker (accent-free Standard German) and new to this platform! Hello! I'm Elena, a native speaker of German and Italian from Switzerland, now living in Sheffield, UK. Growing up in a multilingual environment and later becoming fluent in English as a foreign language gave me first-hand experience of what it means to learn, practise, and live in different languages. Because of this, I understand many of the challenges language learners face and can offer practical support, encouragement, and effective learning strategies. For several years, I was actively involved in a German-speaking community group that brought together learners and native speakers for weekly conversation practice. There, I regularly supported learners, answered language questions, explained vocabulary and grammar, and helped create a welcoming environment for people building confidence in German. Having recently moved away, I'm looking for a new way to scratch this itch. I'm looking forward to sharing with you on iTalki! I believe language learning is about more than grammar and vocabulary. Being able to communicate confidently can help people integrate into new communities, build meaningful relationships, and feel more at home wherever they are. My lessons are friendly, patient, and tailored to your goals. Whether you want to improve your conversation skills, strengthen your grammar, prepare for travel, or simply feel more comfortable speaking German or Italian, I aim to create a relaxed environment where you can learn with confidence and enjoy the process.

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!

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

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.

Lehrer mit viel Erfahrung - steile Lernkurve! Teacher with lots of experience - high learning curve! Mit mir als Lehrkraft werden die Stunden bestimmt nicht langweilig! Meine Schüler beschreiben mich als freundliche, aufgeschlossene, humorvolle und vielseitig interessierte Lehrperson. Ich finde in der Regel schnell heraus wo der Schuh drückt und an was wir arbeiten können. Mir ist wichtig, dass sich meine Studenten wohl fühlen und das Gefühl haben, Fortschritte zu machen. Ich kann Deutsch und Schweizerdeutsch unterrichten. Mein eigener Dialekt ist Berndeutsch; ich kann dir aber auch sehr gerne andere regionale Umgangssprachen der Schweiz beibringen (Basel, Zürich, Solothurn, Graubünden, St. Gallen).
