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.

Hi, I'm Carolin a graphic designer from southwest Germany who somehow ended up living in Mexico. I've always loved languages, but I really started speaking them confidently once I used them in real-life situations while traveling. That experience showed me how important practice and conversation really are. I’m curious by nature and love discovering new cultures and meeting people from different backgrounds. When I'm not working, you’ll probably find me at ballet class, practicing piano (slowly but surely improving!), or spending time with friends. I’m excited to meet you and be part of your language journey! My goal is to create a relaxed and encouraging learning space where you can feel comfortable speaking from the very beginning. I know how challenging it can be to speak a new language, especially when you're afraid of making mistakes. Whether you want to improve your speaking skills, sound more natural, or simply feel more confident using German, I'm here to support you step by step. In our lessons, we mainly focus on conversation while vocabulary and grammar are included naturally along the way. Each session is designed to feel relaxed, practical, and suited to your level and goals, so you can learn comfortably and at your own pace. If you'd like a little extra practice between sessions, I'm always happy to provide optional exercises or homework.

I also pay attention to details such as absolutely correct grammar and orthography. That doesn't mean, however, that my lessons are dry. I'm always ready for a joke to make a lesson fun. My students also appreciate my famous drawings that explain a language problem in a fun and easy-to-remember way. That's why my students call me Markus Picasso. You can study any level with me, even Telc exam preparations (I'm an official Telc exam expert).
German Teacher in Tokyo | Personalized German & English Lessons Hi, I'm Musti! I'm a native German speaker teaching English and German one-on-one here in Tokyo. My background is in Business Administration (studied in Germany on a DAAD scholarship), and I've worked in sales, marketing, and corporate roles across Germany and Japan — so I bring real business and cross-cultural experience into my lessons, not just textbook knowledge. Having learned English as a second language myself, and now speaking conversational Japanese after some years in Tokyo, I know exactly what it feels like to be on the other side of the table. My lessons are relaxed, practical, and built around your goals — whether that's everyday conversation, business communication, travel, or exam prep. I explain grammar clearly, correct you patiently, and adjust the pace to what actually works for you (and I'm happy to switch to Japanese when it helps). Looking forward to getting to know you and helping you reach your goals!
Hallo! Lernen wir zusammen Deutsch für Reise, Studium und Arbeit! 😃🇩🇪 Guten Tag! Ich heiße Vinicius und bin ursprünglich aus São Paulo, Brasilien. Ich habe als Kind Deutsch gelernt und habe mehrmals Deutschland besucht. Immer wenn ich auf Reisen bin, versuche ich, Menschen aus unterschiedlichen Kulturen kennenzulernen und mehr über ihren Alltag zu erfahren. Dafür sind Fremdsprachen sehr hilfreich! Ein Zitat, das mir gefällt ist: "Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weiß nichts von seiner eigenen." - Goethe Das heißt: das Lernen einer Fremdsprache kann uns sogar dabei helfen, unsere eigene Kultur besser zu verstehen. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, Dich beim Deutschlernen zu unterstützen und von Dir auch Neues zu lernen. Bis bald!

MULTICULTURAL TEACHER (Brazil/Germany/USA) with 8 years' experience! 🤗 Hey! Having grown up in a very multi-cultural environment (German, Brazilian and American) and having travelled a bit around the world, I've collected many stories and culture tips as I went along and can discuss about the most varied topics! 😊 I have a Bachelor's degree in Economics and therefore have a solid background in Business, so that can be a topic of discussion as well! I am REALLY passionate about exchanging with people, seeing their evolution and, more than anything, being a part of this process! I have been teaching German, English and Portuguese for 8 years. I started tutoring Business English at a university in Germany, which I then continued doing online, as well as preparing students for job interviews and for German and English proficiency tests. I also have experience teaching children and teens and love connecting with them! I work my hardest to get to know my student and teach a class that is interesting to you and that meets your needs the best. Learning should be fun! Especially when you just got back from a long, hard day... I use an inductive approach, encouraging you to make as many associations as possible to other subjects within the language being learned as well as to your personal experience. =) So, if you want to have a structured class while having a lot of fun, just go ahead and book a class with me! Please use a computer in class as you can then see the video as well as the messages and the material that I will possibly be sharing =D

Ich begann mit dem Unterrichten von Hochdeutsch 2017 während eines Auslandssemesters. Als ich Italki entdeckte, spezialisierte ich mich auf Zürcherdeutsch und helfe seither Einwanderern bei ihrer Integration in der Schweiz. Das Level variiert dabei von Beginnern bis hinzu Fortgeschrittenen. Aus Mangel an guten Unterrichtsmaterialien habe ich im Verlauf der Jahre meinen eigenen Kurs mit einer Vielzahl verschiedener Übungstypen zusammengestellt. Ich biete auch weiterhin Unterricht in Hochdeutsch an und kann eventuell auch bei weiteren Schweizer Dialekten weiterhelfen.

More than 6 years of experience with all levels & ages Hi! I am Larissa, originally from Frankfurt, Germany. For over 6 years, I've been living abroad in places like Costa Rica, Australia, and now Baja California, Mexico. Language learning is a passion of mine— I am fluent in English, speak Spanish, and am learning French. I hold a Bachelor's degree in communication science, journalism and sociology. Since 2019, I’ve been teaching German to students of all levels worldwide and love helping people with it. It’s important to me to create a friendly, judgment-free space. My lessons are flexible and tailored to your needs—whether that’s grammar, conversation, or more. I use a variety of free resources and also work with my students’ materials. Since moving abroad in 2019, I have been teaching German as a foreign language. My students come from all over the world, from various age groups and have different skill levels. I really enjoy meeting people and teaching them my native language. It is important to me to create a friendly and judge-free atmosphere for my students where they feel comfortable just speaking and asking questions. I like to work with a variety of free online sources but am also open to work with any material that my students bring to class. Depending on your skill level, we might start at the very beginning, dig into some grammar, do listening, reading and/or conversational practices. The structure of the class is very flexible and according to the student's skill level and requirements.

German Communication & Fluency Coach (B1+) — Find your voice in German Hi, I'm Muriel! I'm a native German teacher, officially certified (DLL, Goethe-Institut / DaF), with years of experience teaching German to adults with different backgrounds, goals, and needs. I speak German, Spanish, English, and some French, and I've lived in five countries. That personal experience of learning languages gave me a real understanding of what it's like to search for the right words or the confidence to express an idea, an opinion, or a feeling in a language that isn't your own. I specialize in conversation classes for students at B1 level and above who already have a solid foundation and want to take the next step: speaking German naturally, confidently, and fluently in real-life situations :) Teaching Style My classes don't follow a fixed syllabus. I build each lesson around your goals, interests, and pace, because the most effective classes are the ones tailored to the person taking them. We work with real conversations, current topics, and everyday situations, correcting pronunciation, grammar, and natural expressions as they come up in context, rather than through isolated grammar drills. I aim to create a relaxed, professional atmosphere where you can speak freely, make mistakes without pressure, and build confidence step by step. My goal is simple: to help German become less of a subject you study, and more of a tool you own - one you can use to express yourself with confidence and, little by little, find your own voice in German.

Multilingual traveler | Language enthusiast | German & polish tutor Hi everyone, I am Claudia 😊 I'm passionate about languages, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures. I've been traveling for the past few months, and one thing I've learned is that the best way to improve a language is by actually using it in real conversations (this is how I learned German, for example). I offer conversational lessons in German and Polish in a relaxed and supportive environment. My goal is to help you build confidence, improve your fluency, and feel more comfortable speaking naturally. If you're interested, we can also include short exercises and some basic grammar to reinforce what we've practiced.

Graduate from two top world universities with over 10 years of experience Hi everyone, I’m Brian McFadden: I'm 38 and have two BA degrees from UC Berkeley in German and Philosophy and I have a masters degree in Classical Languages (Ancient Greek and Latin) from the University of Chicago. I was born and raised in Southern California and am a native speaker of English. I studied Spanish, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek in college. I have been a language tutor for over ten years and have had students from a variety of ages and backgrounds. I’m interested in incorporating linguistics and precise definitions into my lessons in order to have my students learn their target language comprehensively and easily. My teaching mostly involves giving my students a handful of words from the target language and having them use those words to speak in complete sentences. We then gradually build on these sentences by adding new words and grammatical concepts throughout the lesson. Additionally, I incorporate listening, reading, and writing through audio clips and music, reading quotes from famous authors, and writing exercises.
🇩🇪 + 🇨🇭 German Nativ - get fluent and confident in a relaxed setting 🖌️ Designer & Communications background| 🇩🇪 German | 🌏 14 years living abroad Hi, I'm Nadja! I'm a German native. I've lived abroad for the past 14 years, including in the Netherlands, Italy, Thailand, and Lebanon. Wherever I've lived, I've always wanted to dive deeper into the culture and daily life around me, so I learned the local language. With every language, I've discovered new learning techniques that actually work for me, but the most important part has always been the same: speaking with native speakers. That's exactly what I'm here to offer you, too. I'm happy to help you learn or improve your German, reach a strong conversational level, and build the confidence to actually speak. My approach is conversation-based, so you'll speak more than I do. I follow your pace, your mood, and what you need that day, more structure, free conversation, diving into a specific topic, or just getting unstuck. I'm happy to talk about all kinds of topics. I'm interested in travel, art, film, and sports, so we can talk about life abroad, different cultures, or whatever you're interested in. I'm always glad to learn something new myself. And if you need help navigating life and work in a German-speaking country, I'm happy to support you with that as well. I look forward to meeting you! Bis bald :)
