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

Not sure where to start or how to feel more confident speaking German? Good. That's where we begin. Hi, I'm Heike. I’ve been teaching German online since 2016, and what I enjoy most is that moment when something suddenly clicks and learners realise: “I can actually do this.” I work with all levels, but I have a soft spot for beginners. I hold a Magistra Artium in Ethnology, Archaeology & Sociology, and yes, I worked as an archaeologist in Peru. That background shapes how I teach: language is not just grammar, but culture, history and people. In my lessons, you speak from day one. We work with real-life situations and build your confidence step by step. A shared Google Doc keeps everything in one place. For grammar, I use Deutschfuchs. Homework is optional, but it really helps. Hola, soy Heike. Enseño alemán online desde 2016, y lo que más me gusta es ese momento en que algo encaja y el estudiante piensa: “sí puedo hacerlo”. Trabajo con todos los niveles, pero tengo especial cariño por principiantes. ¿No sabes por dónde empezar? Por ahí empezamos. Tengo una Magistra Artium en Etnología, Arqueología y Sociología, y sí, trabajé como arqueóloga en Perú. Esa experiencia define mi enfoque: el idioma no es solo gramática, sino cultura, historia y personas. En mis clases hablas desde el primer día. Trabajamos con situaciones reales y construimos tu confianza paso a paso. Un Google Doc compartido lo guarda todo. Para la gramática uso Deutschfuchs. Explico con claridad, hago las preguntas adecuadas y doy feedback honesto. Los deberes son opcionales, pero ayudan de verdad.

16+ years experience in distance teaching and learning Hello, my name is Stephan. I am German and currently living in Finland. Language learning should be fun. Conversation and active use of a language is the fastest way to become fluent. Conversation, games, roleplays, interaction are great tools to use a language and become fluent in a joyful way. Since 2010, I constantly learn together with conversation partners in various languages. From this experience, I have gained ideas how language learning through conversation and via the internet is fun and efficient. I like to help you to learn German as your conversation partner and teacher and support you to reach your learning goals. I am happy to adapt to your needs and wishes. If you like, I suggest to compose each lecture from several blocks, such as brief free speaking as a warm-up (2-3min), Grammar and Vocabulary repetitions (5-10 Min), a presentation by you and which you prepared for the lesson, as well as language exercises such as roleplays, discussion about books, magazines, newspapers, as well as answering any questions you might have or bring into the lesson. If you like, I recommend that a small homework, such as reading or writing exercises support your learning too. Topic can be very flexible according to your interest. I have a technical background by profession, but I also like arts, nature or sports.

Psychology student with the passion to help people learn a new language. As a teacher, I’m patient, attentive, and highly intuitive. I quickly understand what each student needs and I’m great at asking the right questions to spark real conversations. I believe that language learning is most effective when it's authentic, fun, and emotionally engaging. I create a warm and supportive learning environment where you can speak freely, make mistakes, and grow beyond them. I always encourage my students to think critically and express their own views – because language is not just grammar, it’s personality.

Native German Coach for Professionals & Exam Success | Pronunciation Specialist I help motivated students, professionals and expats speak clearer, more natural and more confident German — for exams, career opportunities and daily life in Germany or Switzerland. My lessons are especially suited for serious learners who value structure, detailed pronunciation feedback along with precise exercises and long-term progress. Focus areas: • Goethe / Telc / TestDaF / DSH preparation (A1–C2) • Pronunciation & accent reduction • Conversational German • German for work and professional communication • Relocation to Germany / Switzerland What makes my lessons different: ✔ Strong focus on pronunciation from the beginning — the foundation for sounding natural and avoiding fossilized mistakes ✔ Highly individualized corrections and detailed post-lesson notes ✔ Shared progress document after each lesson with: – grammar corrections – pronunciation feedback – more natural/native-like expressions ✔ Clear, structured lessons adapted to your level, goals and learning style ✔ Advanced understanding of pronunciation challenges depending on your native language (“sound gaps”) I work best with students who are motivated, consistent and open to precise correction. Please note: • 30 or 45-minute lessons only • Lessons may end a few minutes earlier when scheduled back-to-back to allow preparation and documentation time • Cancellation policy: 24h notice required
