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 :)

German classes for any age and goal! My expertise is fluency training so you can speak without thinking! My other expertise is business and bureaucratic German like visa or university entrance applications, German proficiency tests like DaF/DaZ or LiD. I like to teach not only the language but also about how to live in Germany, how to apply for things, how to manage all the paperwork that you sometimes have to deal with when you live in Germany, including business letters and resumes! And I really enjoy helping you with whatever you are trying to achieve!

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.

Speaking is the best way to learn a language, so my lessons usually center around having an actual conversation in German, but I will also give you grammar instructions and help you with pronunciation as and when necessary. If you struggle with any particular grammar topic, we can of course also dedicate a whole lesson to that. Generally I'm happy to adapt myself to your needs and preferences. While we talk, I make extensive notes in a google document, I write down new vocabulary with example sentences, grammar instructions, corrections, etc. You'll have access to this document during and after the classes.

A polyglot who wishs to help you to be polyglot ;D Although I don't have experience closely related to teaching, I have participated in many Tandem events in which I have helped others to learn German. In addition to this, since I am a keen traveller and I have often been able to encounter and communicate with people from different backgrounds speaking different languages, I know how to express myself when facing different people and understand you more accurately. This would help me better adapt the lessons to your needs.

Supportive German Tutor for Beginners to Advanced! 😊 Hi and welcome! 😊 My journey as a German teacher started at university and became even more exciting while I was traveling abroad. I really enjoyed helping exchange students from Japan and the U.S. learn German, and those experiences inspired me to continue teaching languages. Afterward, I lived in Taiwan, where I taught German and English to students with different goals and levels. Teaching international students taught me how important patience, encouragement, and fun are when learning a language. In my classes, you can expect a relaxed atmosphere where mistakes are welcome, because that’s how we learn! I focus on helping you speak more naturally and confidently while improving grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and listening skills. I use PDFs, websites, conversation exercises, and homework tailored to your level and interests. 📝 Tell me what you’d like to improve, and I’ll prepare lessons specially for you. Whether you want to prepare for Goethe, telc, or TestDaF exams, improve your business German, or simply practice speaking, I’ll be happy to support you. Bis bald! I can’t wait to meet you! 😊

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.
