About Me

I am a professional language teacher from Berlin, Germany. I work at a language school in Thailand and I have more than 20 years of teaching experience.
I specialize in teaching German at A1 level to prepare students for the “Start Deutsch 1 Exam” at the Goethe-Institute and I am still always flexible to adapt to student’s wishes and all levels. We can for example use your study books, my study materials, newspapers, magazines or just have conversation to focus on pronunciation.
During my teaching career I published study books, did a lot of translations and trained hotel and restaurant staff in basic German
The most important part of the language learning process is SPEAKING! Especially at a beginner level too many explanations can be confusing rather than helpful.

Personally, I like sports, music, good food and I am interested in history and politics.

I would be happy if can show you how to study the German language successfully and I am looking forward to our first free trial lesson to get to know each other

Lernen mit Kristian fühlt sich an wie ein angenehmes Gespräch, das Spaß macht, interessant ist und bei dem man auch Deutsch lernen kann. Kristian ist immer pünktlich, gut organisiert und professionell. Ich kann seinen Unterricht wärmstens empfehlen.

I haven't had a lot of lessons yet, but this instructor is conscientious. He is patient and have a lot of experience. So far, he seems to balance all the elements associated with learning a language. It appears he also enjoys teaching. I imagine that he is good at adapting to different types of students and he listens well. It feels like he is very present to what he is doing even at the earliest stages of the learning process.
