We discuss your needs and start working straight away! Please let me know youe level before the lesson.

We practise speaking around different topics (I send you material before each lesson as an option) and you will gradually and effortlessly improve your grammar, pronounciation and expand your vocabulary. Most importantly: you gain confidence to speak German without hesitation!
I will give you meaningful feedback throughout the lesson and from time to time we review your progress together. As an option we can collect all the vocabulary and grammar topics in a google doc, so you can review the lessons afterwards. You will be surprised how many new words you learn along a conversation.  
To accomodate back to back lessons classes may start one or two minutes late. Thank you!

Conversation Class: Speak up! Wir sprechen Deutsch! (Adults)

Strcutured lessons alongside a book or various materials after a curriculum I set up with you (intermediate learners). We focus on speaking and writing but don't forget about grammar either. We can adjust the process to your preferences, needs and progress. You get homework (optional) and instructions how to work in between classes.
All our lesson contents can be collected in a google doc, so you can review it after the lessons.

General German for beginners and intermediate A1- B2 (Adults)

In this class we mainly speak German and find out about German history, culture or literature. You should be above Level A2 to understand the topics. The lesson is more structured than the conversation class, you will read and discuss a lot and receive lots of information about Germany but no grammar or explicit vocabulary training!

Deutsche Landeskunde: German history, politics, culture (Adults)

Here we can prepare for the Goethe certificate, Test DaF or other tests Level A1 - C1. 

We work on model tests together and improve oral and written expression in a targeted manner. We simulate the exam situation and I give feedback on all tasks, which will give you confidence in the exam!

To accomodate back to back lessons I may be one or two minutes late. Thank you!

Test preparation A1- C1 (Adults)

Lessons specifically for total beginners / A1 students. We go to through all the necessary grammar and vocabulary for level A1 and learn how to write short texts, speak in everyday situations and read short texts. We use my book German for beginners - Deutsch für Anfänger A 1 in those lessons. You can effectively repeat and practice new structures after the lessons that way.  Homework is possible. The lessons wil also prepare you for A1 tests (if you specifically want test preparation only please book those classes).

Fernstudium an der Ludwig- Maximilians- Universität in München / dem Goethe Institut über Konzepte im Unterricht Deutsch als Fremdsprache

I have provided about 1400 lessons of "German as a foreign language" from 2009 to 2011 in a rehab clinic for migrants learning German.

I have provided lessons as a teacher in German, French and history at a public school from 2007 to 2010.

I have two certifictas from Goethe Institut, but can only upload one now. 
Goethe Institut is the institution 90% of my students take their test (known as Goethe test A1...). Each cerificate took me one year of classes and 7 to 10 exams had to be taken - each one with an individual grade (see p. 2). 
It prepares teachers in detail for the requirements of the student's Goethe test.
I have taught over 400 test prep. lessons on italki (not all students booked the category right away) Goethe/ TEL
