Although I’m not a professional teacher, I’m a native English speaker, and I can offer you a relaxed setting in which to practice your conversational English. The main thing is that you speak, and I’ll encourage you to not be afraid of making mistakes. I’ll try to make corrections in a way that least interferes with the conversation. If you’re an intermediate self-learner of German, my experience could be uniquely useful to you. I essentially taught myself the language to a high level, so I’m well acquainted with the difficulties self-learners face.

Certified TEFL teacher with over 5 years of teaching experience I am currently learning my third language. I really do understand how hard it can be to learn a new language, let alone to master it. I am a very relaxed teacher, I know from experience that the most effective way of learning is by enjoying the process and having fun! I am also pretty flexible when it comes to teaching, depending on your level, need, interest or simply just that mood of that day.

Deutsch im Alltag: Reden & Verstehen In Georgien konnte ich bereits wertvolle Erfahrungen sammeln und durfte Menschen dabei unterstützen, ihr Deutsch und Englisch zu verbessern. Meine TEFL-Ausbildung hat mir gezeigt, wie wichtig Geduld und Ermutigung beim Lernen sind. Fehler gehören einfach dazu – sie zeigen, dass du lernst und dich traust, Neues auszuprobieren.

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.

Learn German for life or bussiness at your pace, in a personalized, effective and fun way! Before booking a lesson, I appreciate if you send me a brief message, including your recent learning experience, requirements and preferences. The more you share, the better I can prepare and personalize my lesson structure and teaching style! I believe that language learning is always a personal journey, which, most importantly, should be enjoyable! I'm not a big proponent of old-school bookish teaching but rather invite my students to explore new, personalized methods and figure out together what works best for them.

English/German Grammar and Business English Teacher My main focus is GRAMMAR and BUSINESS ENGLISH (topics listed below). I like to truly focus on helping the student to become more fluent in conversational and written English, German, or Serbo-Croatian by providing helpful tips and tricks to make grammar fun, easy, and comprehensible. I help with different language concepts to help you sound more natural, whether in an everyday or professional setting. Instead of using traditional grammar rules, I use my own little tips and tricks to make the class fun, easy, and effective. Some students have even called me the "grammar surgeon" :D For CONVERSATION classes, I will type out your mistakes with corrections as you speak.

Failure is Not an Option Hello! ¡Hola! Servus! I’m Karl-Heinz from Vienna. My career in journalism has spanned more than 40 years, involving the international press and EU institutions — a world where communication is everything. While English served as my professional lingua franca, Spanish has always been my “amor secreto.” Because of this, I know firsthand the challenges and worries that come with learning a foreign language, but I also know the incredible sense of fulfillment that follows. I joined italki to share my passion for the spoken word. I firmly believe that the most effective way to master a language is through authentic conversation, mirroring the natural way we acquired our mother tongue. It is about so much more than just memorizing vocabulary or sentence structures; as a famous Austrian philosopher once said, "The limits of your language are the limits of your world." My approach is patient, organized, and deeply individualized. I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" method; instead, I offer tailored coaching that adapts to your unique pace and goals. When I’m not teaching, I’m usually pursuing my other passions: riding my motorbike, playing hockey, paragliding, or skiing. I look forward to helping you expand your horizons—let’s start the conversation!

ADULTS all levels welcome! Whatever you need, I'll help you. My role as a teacher is to be a guide and facilitator in the learning process. The student-teacher relationship works best when there is mutual respect, trust and sympathy. Therefore, feedback, questions and ideas are always welcome. I also very much enjoy learning new things from my students about their culture, their "view of the world" and their expertise and experience . For me, this is a dream job. Multicultural encounters with a clear goal (German language) and space for learning more than just a language.

One of the most experienced German teachers on italki – with nearly 5,000 lessons taught I'm a certified German teacher (Goethe-Institut) with years of experience helping students of all levels and backgrounds. One of the biggest blocks I see in learners is the pressure to speak perfectly. That mindset holds you back. My job is to help you feel safe, supported, and encouraged to speak freely — fluent, not flawless ;-) I offer different lesson types: - Fully structured courses (great if you’re starting from zero) - Conversation-focused sessions (with or without materials) - A mix of both — customized to your goals No matter where you're starting from, we'll build lessons that fit you personally.

Teaching German through a musician’s ear and a medical mind. i see myself more as an inspirer. i try to find my ways to my students and put the seed of curiosity.. i don't believe in the traditional teachers' approach. Being a friend, talking "auf Augenhöhe" is what earns trust and helps cultivate a healthy learning habit.
