About Me
I am a native German speaker and German language tutor with a few years of experience. I am an enthusiastic and positive person and always intend to spark my student's interest and motivation by applying methods and teaching styles that are best suited for my student's way of learning. I can teach all levels of German as well as prepare you for any kind of language test on any level.
Additional learning material will also be provided by me, depending on your goals and levels we will use various course, work and/or grammar books. Additional reading stories in ranging through all levels (from A1 to C2) will also be provided including writing and comprehension exercises.
My main teaching style focuses on conversation and on improving your writing skills as well as your confidence in using the German language orally. Thus we will talk a lot and also get you to read about specific topics in order to broaden your vocabulary which we then apply in writing and at the end in a discussion or conversation.
We will work especially on reoccurring gaps and problems, identify them and solve them. The idea here is to develop a deeper understanding of the language and also get you to talk without or with only a thin accent.
As I also hold a BA and MSc in various social sciences I additionally teach and support academic writing in German.

My trial lessons
We will get to know each other and I will try to get an idea of your level of German. I will give an overview of the materials we would use together and develop a Syllabus in regards to your skills, as well as create a learning plan and style tailored towards your goals and learning style.

Patrick is an incredible teacher. Knowledgeable, well-prepared, understanding, and good humored.
I really enjoyed my time with him over the period of a weeks and I will be looking for additional opportunities to work with him in the future.
Whatever you need in terms of language help, I can assure you he is your guy.
