✹Packages with a 50% discount✹ I believe that foreign languages develop not only memory, erudition, but also tolerance and respect for each other. The world is our home and knowledge of the language allows you to erase the boundaries in it. I have students of all ages, both children and adults!. I’m a mom of two daughters, so I have a knack for inspiring children's curiosity in learning languages.

Binational (FR/DE) polyglot and certified teacher. 8+ years of experience and 13 000 lessons taught. I’m 33, half French and half German, and a native speaker of both languages with dual citizenship. I developed a strong interest in American culture as a teenager, which led me to teach myself English to a native level, including accent, through constant exposure and conversation. This success inspired me to pursue other languages. I reached an intermediate level in Mandarin and an advanced level in Japanese and Korean after living in both countries for several years. Students value my ability to create engaging and natural conversations, my strong focus on active listening, my broad knowledge in a wide range of fields, and my very international background, especially for English-speaking and Asian learners. I’m fluent in five languages and bring extensive experience as both a learner and teacher, helping students feel confident at any level. I have completed two teaching certifications, CELTA and DAEFLE, which equipped me with effective teaching methods and practical classroom skills. My teaching approach emphasizes meaningful interaction and immersion. That means listening, reading, and speaking as much as possible, similar to how children learn their native language. I'm convinced that this is the most effective path to fluency. As your teacher, I will guide, motivate, and support you while making lessons enjoyable and engaging. My goal is to help you see language learning as a fun, rewarding, and enriching experience, not a chore. Note: I don’t teach students under 16

✹PROFESSIONAL NATIVE GERMAN TEACHER WITH PASSION✹ I started teaching German to international students in 2009 as a private tutor during my university studies. During that time I realized that this is my true passion, because I love to work with people and seeing progress in my students makes me feel proud and truly happy. After graduation I took several courses to become a professional teacher and soon got a job at a reputable high school in Taiwan. Besides teaches classes, I still tutor private students and currently I am on a temporary leave to travel the world, while still tutoring online and funding my dream through italki.

Learn German with Natural Conversations & Comprehensible Input I like to teach German through interesting conversations & dialogues. So, instead of going through grammar topics & speaking a lot of English, I will try to stick to mostly speaking German with you and I encourage you to speak and use as much German as possible as well. I might speak more slowly or explain words to you, but I will stick to German and only speak English if it's absolutely necessary. :) I am also by the way very happy to practice specific situations with you (buying a ticket at the train station, having a political discussion). Just let me know what you're looking to practice.

Ich bin organisiert,flexibel und zielstrebig. Außerdem biete ich Übersetzungen sowie Korrekturlesen an.

Wenn du einfach frei sprechen willst, dann gestalte ich die Stunden so, dass wir uns über ein Thema, das dich interessiert, unterhalten. Korrektur gibt es immer und die Aussprache wird geübt. Gerne philosophiere ich mit dir auf Deutsch über das Leben, wenn du schon gut Deutsch kannst, und die Sprache üben möchtest. Künstler,Musikanten,...alle sind willkommen!

In the words of Joseph Campbell, we human beings do best when we "follow our bliss." Throughout my adult life, teaching, and particularly teaching German, has been my bliss. I was fortunate to recognize teaching as my vocation when I was in college, and l had excellent training in language pedagogy when I was accepted as a teaching assistant at Ohio State's graduate program. I am at my happiest and most fulfilled when I am teaching a language class, whether face to face or online (a modality in which I became proficient during the Covid epidemic). For years I have had excellent teaching evaluations from my students, whether in the classroom or in one on one tutoring.
