About Me
italki teacher since Jun 6, 2016InterestsReadingHistorySports & FitnessTravelEnvironment & Nature
Hello, I’m Matthias! As a native German speaker with 20 years of experience in education and business, I’ve been helping people unlock their potential since 2010. I specialize in immersive, communication-based language learning, guiding students to improve their skills through real-world conversations and practice. I’ve been teaching on italki since 2016 and offer a unique approach that combines language training with practical coaching techniques. My background as a certified NLP coach allows me to help students build confidence, overcome language barriers, and achieve lasting results.Me as a Teacher
My lessons are engaging, smooth, and customized to your interests—more like coaching than traditional language classes. I focus on making you feel comfortable while exploring new topics, structures, and vocabulary. I provide instant feedback without disrupting the flow of conversation, helping you learn naturally. As a coach, I guide you to unlock your full potential, overcome barriers, and create lasting improvements, both personally and professionally, through immersive, conversation-based learning.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are outcome-oriented, focusing on your specific goals. Whether you’re preparing for professional challenges like meetings or speeches, or tackling personal obstacles, I tailor each session to your needs. I help you approach situations from new perspectives, always working toward practical solutions.My teaching material

Das war mein erster Unterricht mit Matthias, und es war toll mit ihm zu reden. Er ist ein sehr guter Lehrer, und hat alle meine Fehler korrigiert und geschrieben, so dass ich sie dann aufschreiben und lernen kann. Wir haben über uns gesprochen, und dann auf die beste Strategie zu folgen, um mein Deutsch zu verbessern.
