The best German tutors for you

German & Swiss German teacher with 6+ years of experience I'm a calm and patient teacher who always tries to take the learner's point of view. Don't worry about making mistakes - that's how you learn! My teaching experience goes beyond the classroom - I've also been a football (soccer) coach for close to a decade. Additionally, I'm a trained architect, a profession where I have to communicate complex concepts simply and clearly - a very useful skill for teaching languages!

Fun Lessons, Structured Learning & Real Progress Born and raised in Germany, with a special love for Berlin, I’ve always been curious about the world and about language. My travels through Europe deepened my appreciation for cultures and languages, and eventually took me further abroad, from Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The German language is close to my heart, and I genuinely love teaching it in a way that is fun, structured, and motivating. With a Master’s degree in Political Science and training as a Project Manager, I bring clarity, structure, and real-world context into my lessons. I’m easy-going, open-minded, and fun and I always focus on your learning goals. I pay close attention to detail and have the ability to understand through context. I bring a lot of passion to working with anyone who is eager to learn. I personally love talking about food, holidays and daily routines. My teaching style is structured and goal-oriented, while staying flexible and engaging. Each lesson follows a clear plan, and we work with texts, pictures, and different topics to build language skills naturally. Grammar is introduced step by step and reinforced through practical exercises. After each lesson, you’ll receive a PDF to support your learning. I can keep lessons light or focused, general or very specific — always adapted to your goals and interests. All lessons take place via Zoom. Get in touch to discuss your needs and ideas!

Learn with Lucas in a friendly atmosphere – with patience and no fear of making mistakes Hi! I'm Lucas, 25, from Berlin. I recently completed my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and I combine my experience teaching German and piano with my own experience as a language learner. For me, the most important thing is to create a space where you can experiment without pressure or stress, make mistakes, learn from them, and enjoy speaking. The focus of my conversation lessons is on building confidence, getting into the flow of speaking, and learning through practice. My goal is to give you as much speaking time as possible. During our lessons, I take notes on corrections, useful phrases, and new vocabulary, which I send to you afterwards. I'm also happy to explain grammar points or provide translations whenever needed. I also offer lessons for beginners, with exercises and activities tailored to your level and learning goals. These lessons are structured and follow a clear learning path, while still giving you plenty of space to practise, experiment, and enjoy the learning process.

DLL-Certified Goethe-Institut Teacher | Learn German Naturally, Confidently & Authentically Hello and welcome! My name is Marcin, and I am a DLL-certified Goethe-Institut German teacher with over 8 years of teaching experience. I currently teach German at GLS Berlin and have worked with learners from many different countries and cultural backgrounds. As a native Polish speaker who personally went through the journey of learning German, I understand what it feels like to build confidence in a new language. I know the challenges, the moments of doubt, but also the incredible feeling when a language finally becomes part of who you are. My goal is not only to teach you grammar and vocabulary, but to help you truly communicate. In my lessons, we focus on natural conversations, authentic expressions, pronunciation, cultural insights, and the confidence to express yourself in German. I teach students from A1 to C1 and support them with: ✨ Everyday German & conversation ✨ Professional German ✨ Travel German ✨ Exam preparation ✨ Improving fluency and confidence I believe that learning a language is much more than memorizing words — it is a way to connect with people, understand a culture, and discover new perspectives. Outside teaching, I enjoy traveling, sports, psychology, personal development, and exploring different cultures. I love creating a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere where you can feel comfortable, make mistakes, and grow. If you want to learn German in a natural, meaningful, and authentic way, I would be happy to accompany you on your journey.

Grüezi! | Swiss German & German Tutor | Speak Naturally & Understand Real Swiss German Hello, I’m Thomas from Switzerland 🇨🇭, currently living in Tokyo 🇯🇵. I help learners understand and speak real Swiss German in everyday situations — and feel more confident and comfortable in conversation. I’m a professional Swiss German & German tutor with 5+ years of experience on italki. 👉 My lessons are for students who already speak German (A2+) and want to improve their speaking, listening, and communication skills. (I do not teach complete beginners.) Many learners understand High German but struggle with Swiss German in real life. I know how challenging that can be, and I’ll guide you step by step through it. My main focus is Swiss German, but I also teach High German (Standard German) and help you move naturally between both. My method is simple: we speak a lot. Through relaxed, natural conversations, you improve step by step and build real confidence. During lessons, I support you with: • clear corrections and helpful feedback • vocabulary & natural expressions • grammar explanations when needed I create my own Swiss German learning materials, designed specifically for learners, and run the YouTube channel “Swiss German Storytime”. I also share additional practice and learning resources on Patreon. My goal is to help you feel confident speaking and understanding Swiss German in everyday situations. Feel free to book a lesson — I’d be happy to work with you. Thomas

Hello, I'm Goulnaz. I'm Russian living in France since 18 years. I am fond of reading, traveling, sports like swimming, dancing, qi gong, meditation, learning and teaching foreign languages . Apart from specializing in international trade, I've worked as a private English and German tutor. I love helping others improve their skills and to speak like a native. I ask for your needs and your feedback to prepare the classes adapted to your level and learning goal. We work on your pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. I taught English and especially German in France throughout the years although my native language is Russian. I hold a Master's in teaching English and German and worked with foreigners from various countries. I try to make my classes as interactive as possible and have a dialogue with my students. Grammar is very important but not an end to itself. I engage my students in various types of activities depending on their needs and requests. The course of learning can be readjusted at any time. Feedback is welcome. I love helping others to learn, sharing my knowledge and learn something from my students too.

Certified Linguist and DaF Instructor here to help you to improve your German! I studied Linguistics and Media Studies and currently working as a German teacher in different institutions, since I also got the supplementary qualification in "German as a Foreign Language" to professionally support non-native speakers on their long journey with the German language. I immigrated at a young age and grew up bilingual, therefore I have a valuable perspective from both sides and would like to use my language skills to help learners of German with the challenges that come with this beautiful, but also demanding language. The same goes for Spanish! The best way to learn a language will always be to speak it! As a student I've worked in my university department and taught the basics of linguistics in small group seminars to students there. In terms of German teaching I've helped out in a language school for adolescents in Cambridge, England and I have been working in public and private institutions like the university or DAA. My teaching is based on the intercultural model of language instruction. Speaking, writing and insights into the culture are my top priorities, combined with traditional grammar exercises if desired. If you're in need of recommendations of textbooks or worksheets, I can also help out!

PhD in Applied Linguistics; +15 years of language teaching experience at university level I have been teaching German and Italian for over 15 years at a prestigious Canadian University as well as at a local language school. I have experience teaching all levels and age groups, both in-person and online.

Native German Speaker | Relaxed & Friendly Conversations :) Hi! I'm Salomé, a native German speaker from Germany. 👋 A year ago, I moved abroad myself, so I know exactly how intimidating it can feel to speak a new language. That's why I want my lessons to feel less like a classroom and more like a relaxed conversation over coffee. I'm not here to judge your German, I'm here to help you feel comfortable using it. We'll laugh, make mistakes (because that's how we learn!), and have genuine conversations while naturally improving your confidence, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. I love traveling, reading, watching anime and K-dramas, dancing salsa, and getting to know people from different cultures. So if we have something in common, we'll never run out of things to talk about. ☕✨ Whether you want to prepare for life in Germany, practice speaking more naturally, or simply enjoy regular conversations with a native speaker, I'd love to help. I can't wait to meet you! 😊

Alltagsdeutsch trifft auf Behördendeutsch, authentisch und geduldig. Hallo, ich bin Jenny, ich bin gebürtige Deutsche und arbeite seit über 20 Jahren beruflich mit präzisem, formellem Deutsch. Gleichzeitig kenne ich auch das lockere Alltagsdeutsch sehr gut, ich also weiß genau, wie man es verständlich erklärt, ohne dass es trocken wirkt. Seit Januar 2025 bin ich mit meinem Mann und unseren zwei Kindern auf Weltreise. Dieser Perspektivwechsel hat mir gezeigt, wie wichtig es ist, sich in einer fremden Sprache und Kultur wirklich verstanden zu fühlen. Genau dabei möchte ich dir helfen, egal ob du Deutsch für den Beruf, einen Umzug oder einfach aus Neugier lernst. Ich unterrichte gerne mit klarer Struktur, aber ohne Druck, bringt du eine konkrete Situation mit (eine E-Mail oder ein Gespräch das ansteht), arbeiten wir direkt daran. Ich freue mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen und dich mit meiner Erfahrung und Offenheit zu unterstützen. Bis bald in unserer ersten Lektion. Herzliche Grüße Jenny

German & Swiss German | Native Swiss Teacher | 15+ Years' Experience | All Levels (A1-C2) I'm Ivo, a Swiss teacher of German, trained educator, and PhD researcher in Linguistics. I explain why German works the way it does, so it makes sense instead of feeling like rules to memorise. Most students come to me for one of these: › Starting from zero (or nearly). Complete beginners welcome. We build a foundation step by step, at a pace that suits you. › Speaking more naturally. Conversation with real feedback: pronunciation, phrasing, the small things that make you sound like a person, not a textbook. › Swiss German. Understand the dialect and start speaking it. As a native, I teach genuine spoken dialect. Ideal if you live in Switzerland or plan to. › Preparing for an exam. Goethe, telc, TestDaF, or the Swiss fide test and naturalisation interview. We work backward from the format and date, together. › Settling into a German-speaking country. Everyday German plus citizenship and integration prep. I explain the customs behind the language too. › Making it stick. Review efficiently: flashcards, spaced repetition, a system that keeps you improving between lessons. Structured lessons, conversation, or a mix: I adapt to your level and goals. My aim is to make German, in every variety, challenging, enjoyable, and useful. 華語學習者：我可用中文解釋德語，並持有對外華語教學碩士學位。歡迎預約。 📅 I open next month's availability mid-month. If nothing fits, message me and we'll arrange something.

Deutsch mit Muttersprachlerin | Konversation, Anfänger & mehr Moin! ☀️ Ich bin Franca, 25 Jahre alt, komme ursprünglich von der Nordsee und lebe mittlerweile im bunten Hamburg. Ich bin ausgebildete Schauspielerin und liebe alles, was mit Sprache, Menschen und Kommunikation zu tun hat. Neben der Schauspielerei leite ich Filmworkshops und unterrichte Kinder und Jugendliche. Dabei habe ich vor allem eines gelernt: Am meisten lernt man, wenn man sich wohlfühlt, neugierig bleibt und auch mal über sich selbst lachen kann. Genau diese Atmosphäre möchte ich in meinen Deutschunterricht mitbringen! Bei mir geht es nicht darum, stundenlang Vokabeln zu pauken, sondern darum, Deutsch wirklich zu sprechen. Wir können über Filme, Musik, Reisen, deinen Alltag oder alles andere quatschen, was dich interessiert. Ganz nebenbei arbeiten wir an deinem Wortschatz, deiner Aussprache und daran, dass du dich beim Sprechen immer sicherer fühlst. Durch meine Schauspielausbildung beschäftige ich mich besonders viel mit Stimme, Ausdruck und Sprache. Deshalb können wir auch spielerisch mit Dialogen und kleinen Alltagssituationen arbeiten. Mir ist wichtig, dass du dich traust, einfach loszusprechen. Fehler sind willkommen, Perfektion ist nicht nötig! Ich freue mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen! 🌻

Prep for your B1 or B2 certificate with a native German teacher! Hi, I'm Faissal 👋 I'll let you in on a secret: For the first half of my life I didn't like languages much. I'm a computer scientist at heart, and languages felt like rules to memorize, not logic. What changed my mind was realizing it's not really about memorizing rules: learning languages makes my life better. I travel, I get to know cultures, and I talk to people's hearts, not just their brains. Since then I've learned Korean, Turkish, Arabic, Portuguese, and pieces of a few others, and the same pattern held every time: I learned fastest with a good teacher, real conversation, and a genuine connection to the culture, not textbook grinding. That's how I teach German. We start by getting to know you, your level, your interests, why you're learning, and I build lessons around that: interactive pictures and stories, real life situations, podcasts/videos, real conversations, and German culture woven in throughout (memes too!). Structure and grammar still matter, but they serve the goal, which is actually using the language! I will help you reach your B1 or B2 certificate with specific, targeted exercises. Check out my trial lesson if you are a practical learner who wants to improve their real life German. See you soon!
