In den Jahren 2015/16 habe ich eine zusätzliche Ausbildung zum Trainer für Deutsch als Fremd- bzw. Zweitsprache gemacht. Ich habe dann zuerst in Österreich Deutschkurse für Asylwerber abgehalten. Seit 2016 unterrichte ich zunehmend auch im Internet. In 2015/16 I completed additional education as a trainer for German as a foreign or second language. Then I first taught German for asylum seekers in Austria. Since 2016 I have been teaching more and more online.

Native German Speaker | Experienced with Chinese Students I am a native speaker of German with lifelong interests in other cultures, histories, and languages — especially literary Chinese (文言文). I hope I can help people here almost as much as I myself have been helped. Over the years, I have taught students of many different levels — from complete beginners to advanced learners — including Chinese students and native speakers preparing for their Abitur (Germany) or Matura (Austria) exams. These exams are vaguely comparable to the Chinese 高考 or British A-Levels. In my classes, I try to go beyond mere memorisation and help students develop a natural understanding of the language. Many grammatical rules make far more sense once one understands the distinctions they express in everyday speech. This is also the reason for my nickname, MrSemantic. I teach German with a clear standard accent (Hochdeutsch) and on a high formal level that can serve students well in professional and academic contexts. At the same time, I am very happy to adapt lessons to each student’s personal interests and needs. When I am not here teaching you or recording audio to guide you through the jungle of pronunciation, I enjoy bird photography, vigorous exercise, and far too much reading.

Cursos ideales para hispanohablantes. Animarse a hablar el alemán e integrarse a la cultura Tengo alumnos de muchos lugares y me encanta conocer sus historias y ayudar a que puedan vencer sus miedos y aprender con seguridad y entusiasmo. Trabajamos las cuatro competencias del idioma, la dinámica de las clases se adapta a las necesidades de cada una. Me encanta ver cómo mis alumnos dicen sus primeras palabras y, con el tiempo, pueden desarrollar sus pensamientos y hablar de su historia en alemán. Cuando viene con conocimientos previos, hablamos desde el primer día de temas de actualidad y recorremos tópicos de interés. Voy a estar muy feliz de que me elijan y de acompañarlos en este camino.

Learning with fun & structure UNIVERSITY CERTIFIED 21 yrs EXPERIENCE Specializing on KIDS & EXAMS Structured tailor-made classes and progress checks plus feedback! University certified teacher! Please ask regarding the time before booking. Thank you! With 20+ years teaching globally in schools, German institutes, kindergartens (Austria, Germany, Thailand, South Korea, Nepal, Laos, India), I specialize in children/teenagers, exam preparation, conversation, and cultural fluency. As I have learnt several languages (Russian, English, Latin, Korean, Hindi), I know about difficulties and pitfalls of learning a language. My research-based methodology combines structured grammar instruction with immersive, real-world application, ensuring rapid progress for students of all levels. I like teaching languages, because it always means cultural exchange. Learning languages should be fun and according to the needs of the student. I had several ADHD students with special needs and could help them to achieve their learning goals. I teach German in an integrated way, grammar, conversation, reading and writing. My motto: There is no inapt student, only teachers who do not know how to teach individual students effectively! Integrated learning method! I have a wide range of materials for different age groups. I adjust my teaching method to my students. Students have different expectations and I try to find them out. I ask my students for feedback and let them chose the material; providing a balanced class, grammar, conversation, quiz, games and free talking, reading and writing.

German through dialogue, focus, and inspiration Lessons with me are not just 60 minutes of German. This is not about “covering the material.” It is about being in dialogue, attention, and real connection. I hold a Master’s in Pedagogy (Switzerland) and a Bachelor in Pedagogy (Russia), and I have Goethe Certificate C2 in German (2023) and C1 in English (2021) + Russian and Spanish. I have over 10 years of experience teaching children and adults in schools and language centers (Moscow, Bern, Malta, Barcelona). Here, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about being engaged. You are hearty welcome!
