A polyglot who will teach you the way Germans really speak. Hi :) I'm Arty and I'm from Germany. I'm very passionate about languages and I'm here to teach you my mother language German. I am originally from Turkey but I am born and raised in Germany. I have a lot of friends from everywhere around the world and I love other cultures and traditions so that I am dealing with languages every day. The result is that I speak 8 languages. Therefore I know about the struggles of learning a language and found out how to learn languages efficiently. I will make these lessons for you as comfortable and fun as possible. The reason why I started to teach on italki were my friends who told me that I was a huge help for them while we we're doing a language exchange. So I wanna help other people to improve their German. I'm a really patient and passionate teacher. My biggest aim will be that you speak German as natural as possible. I pay a lot of attention to mistakes and pronunciation. I was told that I speak German very slowly compared to other German natives and explain things in a easy way. My lessons won't be very grammar heavy. I offer conversational courses and oral exam training. So we just talk and I correct you every time you make a mistake and explain you the grammatical background or teach you new words and expressions that you need while we are talking. The reality is that you will need native speakers you can talk to in order to learn a language.

Certified Polyglot German Teacher with Linguistics Background Hello! My name is Runzhi, and I am a certified German teacher for integration classes with over five years of experience.

I have taught German as a foreign language in diverse settings, from intensive courses to corporate training, both online and in person, with learners from A1 to C2.

Experienced German Native Tutor | 4,000+ Lessons | Speak German with Confidence 😊 Hi and welcome! 😊 I'm a native German teacher with international teaching experience. My journey began at university and continued abroad. I helped exchange students from Japan and the United States learn German. Later, I taught German and English in Taiwan, working with learners of different ages, levels, and goals. My lessons are supportive, interactive, and tailored to your needs. Together, we'll improve your speaking, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and listening skills in a relaxed environment where mistakes are part of the learning process.

Hey! I’m Richard. I’m originally from Berlin, Germany, and currently living in Tokyo, where I study Japanese full-time at a Japanese university. I mainly teach German and love helping students become more confident speaking naturally and comfortably. If you’re interested, I can also help with English conversation practice too! My lessons are relaxed, friendly, and focused on real communication — no stressful classroom atmosphere, because I don’t think that helps anyone learn effectively. Whether you want to improve your speaking, pronunciation, daily conversation, slang, or just become more fluent overall, I’ll adapt lessons to your goals and personality. Since I’m also learning a language every day myself, I completely understand how awkward or intimidating it can feel sometimes. Making mistakes is normal — and honestly one of the best ways to improve. I’m interested in culture, travel, languages, architecture, guitar, running, and conversations with people who think outside the box, so lessons will feel more like genuine conversations than boring textbook study sessions. Looking forward to meeting you and helping you level up your German (or English)!

Let`s Talk around the Clock! My focus is teaching German by talking as much as possible. I find it important to get used to the sound of a language and to practise speaking and listening.

/////////. From September 7th fee increase. Book beforehand to benefit from lower fees. \\\\\\\\\ Born in Germany and raised in Belgium, I bring a multicultural perspective to everything I do. During my studies of English, French, and German, I discovered my passion for teaching. I enjoy helping others grow and connect. Curious about the world, fascinated by people, and always eager to learn—let’s explore German together! My teaching style is very open minded and flexible. During the intro I find out what the students require and how committed they are to their goals. I adapt my style to theirs: with some students I will be more laid back and with the more ambitious and focused ones (my favorites) I will more actively plan ahead. i am known to be "living with my students" and rejoice at their success in reaching their goals. I love to research my students' hobbies and interests to create lesson plans around these. It goes without saying that people love to talk about their hobbies and including them even in classes about grammar helps. The goal is to get the student to participate and I use open questions to get answers. One feedback I get regularly is that I make the students feel at ease, never rush them and let them express themselves freely. I make a point not to over correct my students. Out of 5 mistakes in their sentence I will correct one or two of the more serious ones and I praise them parsimoniously but genuinely.

Hello! I am a social worker and have been supporting children with emotional challenges and learning difficulties for over five years, and in this work language is our strongest tool. Through my experience, I have learned that patience, empathy, and clear communication build bridges, not only in the classroom but also in language learning. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced in German, I help you develop confidence and learn with joy. Because language opens doors, and I will show you how! As a teacher, I place great value on a calm and respectful learning environment. My goal is to encourage you to move forward step by step and to develop joy in learning. I adapt my methods to your individual needs. I adapt my teaching to your learning style, as there are different types of learners. It is important to me to communicate this in advance. In this way, we can find solutions together and tailor the lessons to the learner’s needs. Note: I would appreciate it if you could inform me of your language level, learning experience, and preferred learning style prior to booking a class with me. The plattform I use for classes is Zoom. If you are unable to use Zoom please let me know. Thank you 😊
