About Me
Welcome to my profile! I'm a German native speaker from Germany whose been teaching the language in both English and Spanish for a few years now and am equipped to teach all levels. For me, it is important to teach the language both efficiently and sustainably. I am constantly in the process of learning languages myself, so I understand which methods work and how to avoid and resolve frustration. I can provide my own language material that I've developed based on my experiences as a learner. I have practiced various teaching styles and can adjust to the needs of my student. For example, you can let me know whether you prefer to be explained things in English or Spanish or whether you'd like to be completely immersed in the language from the beginning and want lessons to be purely in German. I can help you prepare for exams, work conversations or vacations. We can work on a schedule tailored specifically to you and your needs so that you can reach your goals. Language learning shouldn't be purely technical though, I believe that it is necessary to develop a personal connection to the language. That's what I want most for my students - to provide them with a home in the language. Languages unlock parts of our identity that we didn't know we had before and there's nothing more exciting than that, is there? With me, learning is fun, educational and personal.
