Teaching Approach

There are many ways to teach a lesson. I'm a lover of a varied approach whenever applicable. I can honestly say that I will always do my very best to find suitable methods in order to facilitate comprehension and learning.

Over the course of a lesson, I might use audio files, videos, transcripts, books, worksheets or custom-tailored exercises that I feel are best suited for that particular student. Likewise, I will also train conversation - practical or otherwise.

I highly value being kind, patient, modest and encouraging. I always strive to create an environment that fosters a positive feeling. An inviting atmosphere is essential for learning anything at all. I welcome mistakes students make because it's normal to do so, plus that is one of the best ways to learn something properly.

My ultimate goal for you, as my student, is to enjoy yourself while learning and progressing!

Students are different, and all have their own individual needs and expectations. I see myself as someone who is guiding them along their chosen path. Occasionally prompting them to discover (the beauty of) a concept here and there they might have overlooked otherwise. Helping them to develop long-term strategies that will make them feel accomplished and self-assured.

Qualifications & Experience

I've studied at a German university. I've worked as a full time teacher in German trade schools for many years. I've easily taught more than 4,500 lessons over the years. I taught students from all walks of life, with their ages ranging from fifteen to forty-five years. 

About me

Teaching, in general, has always been something that I deeply admire. To be able to help others comprehend a concept, and to contribute to their learning progress, is a meaningful endeavour and deeply rewarding! I enjoy it more than I could ever adequately describe. 

I look forward to helping and getting to know more people here! Let's have many wonderful learning experiences together!

Kind regards,

David

We can discuss travel, politics, the cities we live in, art, culture, the news, your job, your dreams and goals - anything :) I will adjust to your level (B1 and up) so that you don't feel overwhelmed. Language learning should be fun! 

Corrections and suggestions will be provided in the chat box. (this is not a grammar class though so explanations will be kept brief to focus on the conversation and improving fluency.

Given my background as a Communications Director at a global company I'm also happy to include business topics if that's of interest to you. 

My classes are NOT for beginners. As it is a conversation class, you must be able to hold at least a basic conversation (A2 level or higher)

I look forward to talking with you! :)

I am a German native speaker from Austria who loves languages and am passionate about teaching others. I work as language teacher in a school, teach adults at the German Culture Center and prepare my students for all types of official language exams. I love my job and always seek to make it as much fun as possible.

I am adapting my way of teaching to the needs and the personality of my students. We can build up your vocabulary and speaking capacities, work on your written expression or on your general understanding. You want a conversation class to practice the language or build up your knowledge in Grammar? Or perhaps you have a language exam to pass. Or is it perhaps your child that wants to learn a language while playing? You want to improve your German while learning more about the German speaking countries? You need someone who is motivating you to keep up our learning journey?

I have experience in teaching people from very different cultural background, different ages and different levels. I would love to get to know you during our trial lesson, so that we can come up with a tailored plan for you.

Hi!

I’m a native German speaker and qualified coach with over 20 years of experience helping students of all ages and levels learn German. After living in the UK for 27 years, I’m now back in Germany, blending cultural insights from both worlds to help you master the language.

**Making German Fun and Accessible**

I’ve worked with students from around the globe, many whose first language isn’t English or German. I excel at breaking down German grammar into simple, easy-to-understand lessons. If you’re moving to a German-speaking country, I can guide you through those cultural quirks, making your transition smoother for you and your family.

**Personalized Lessons and Coaching**

Learning German should be fun and fit into your life seamlessly. As a qualified coach, I’ll show you not just how to learn German, but how to learn effectively. Whether you’re studying for exams, expanding your business contacts, or brushing up before a holiday, I’ll create a lesson plan that suits your goals. We’ll regularly review your progress together to stay on track.

**Helping You Succeed**

All of my students who’ve pursued German certification (from A1 to C1) have passed with flying colors. I’m here to support you, especially if you’re feeling stuck, nervous, or have had trouble learning in the past. My coaching approach builds confidence and helps you overcome challenges.

**Experience with Diverse Learners**

I’m experienced in working with neurodivergent students, tailoring my methods to ensure everyone can achieve their best.

**Flexible Rates**

My rates are a starting point, flexible to your specific needs and lesson goals. I aim to provide the best value based on what you want to achieve.

**Let’s Get Started**

If you’re ready to dive into learning German in a fun and supportive way, I’d love to hear from you. Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your goals perfectly and helps you get the most out of your language learning journey.

Hallo Leute - hi guys!

Taking your first steps in German?

Do you want to improve a specific language skill?

Or prepare for an exam?

I can offer you:

• Fun and challenging lessons
• Interactive didactic materials for all levels included
• Individual lesson plan tailored to your specific needs and progress
• Lessons designed specifically for 1:1 online learning
• Focus on applied language
• Exam training (A1 – C2)
• Advanced speaking practice

I'm from Kassel in Germany but live in São Paulo, Brazil.

Here I started to teach German as a foreign language in German multinationals, in social projects, and as a 1:1 online teacher.

I have worked with German learners of many different needs and levels and I am simply in love with what you teach me about my language.

I am here to challenge you and cheer for your progress!

Do you want to learn how to communicate in German acccurately and with confidence, but without a lot of boring grammar exercises?

Or do you just want to talk, but constantly feel stressed when having a free conversation?

Or do you already speak German well and wonder how you can improve further?

Then I’m here to guide you on your way to success!

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” (Confucius)

Understanding and mastering are two completely different things. Therefore, it is not my goal to explain a lot, but to make you USE grammar structures and new words in a systematic way.

What to expect

• Lessons tailored to your personal needs in a relaxed learning atmosphere
• You will speak a lot.
• You will receive feedback, corrections and examples in google docs.
• You will practice grammar and new words systematically in a natural conversation.
• You will also have the option to train reading, writing and listening as well as doing homework.
• You will be encouraged to say things in different ways in order to broaden your vocabulary.
• You will focus on practice, not on theory.
• You will have the possibility to work with interactive software – for students who take at least 1 – 2 lessons a week and want to do homework.

I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Hi! I am Larissa, I am originally from Frankfurt, Germany. Since 2019, I've been teaching German as a foreign language via video chat and in face-to-face sessions. My students come from all over the world, from various age groups and have different skill levels. Depending on your skill level and requirements, we might start at the very beginning, dig into some grammar, do listening, reading and/or conversational exercises. I can also help you with different exam preparations or getting you ready to travel/move to a German speaking country. I like to work with free online sources, but am also happy to work with any material that my students bring to class. It is important to me to create a friendly and judge free atmosphere for my students where they feel comfortable just speaking and asking questions.

I am very passionate about traveling, exploring other countries and learning languages. Teaching is a great way for me to meet people from all over the world and learning about their cultures as well.
