Hallo! My name is Eda, I am half German and half Turkish. Currently learning my fifth language, I know exactly how hard it can be to find motivation while studying a language. 

If you are someone who likes to learn by actively training their reading, speaking, listening, and writing abilities, wants to study grammar through games and quizzes, and prefers fun activities over passive, standard classes, I am here to help! 

I have been teaching German ever since I was in high school when I taught German to exchange students. During university, I started teaching group classes to children and teenagers as well as translating and interpreting for the German consulate in Turkey. After graduating from university, I started teaching full-time as an online teacher on different platforms. During my career as a teacher, I gathered experience teaching young children, adults as well as elderlies, one-on-one classes as well as groups.

I would love to meet you soon, feel free to book a trial lesson!

Tschüss!

I am happy you decided to learn German.

With me as your tutor, you will get the support and motivation you need to reach your goals and make the progress you are looking for. My classes are not only educational but fun. I firmly believe that language learning should be motivating to ensure students’ success.

Since earning my Master’s in Teaching German as a Foreign Language, I have been teaching my native language at universities and language schools in Germany and abroad for fifteen years.

My teaching approach is communicative, intercultural and learner-centered. Over the years I have developed my own material which I supplement with current course books, online material and authentic sources like German songs, TV programs/films and literature.

No matter if you are a beginner or an advanced learner, no matter what area you’d like to focus on, be it general German, business German or exam preparation, I am going to tailor the lessons to your individual needs in order to ensure the best possible outcome.

As a polyglot myself, I am familiar with the challenges of learning a new language and I can give you helpful tips along the way.

All you need to bring is the necessary motivation and dedication, and we’re ready to go.

Lass uns Deutsch lernen! (Let’s learn German!)

I hope to see you soon in a trial session.

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.

Are you looking for someone to simply talk to and practice German? My teaching style is engaging, patient and creative. I am practiced in teaching teenagers (16 and older) and adults. I have lived in the United States for 7 years. Therefore, I am experienced with different language environments and the challenges of studying another language.

My focus lies mainly on conversation. I help you to form sentences and to learn new words from all kinds of interesting topics. In so doing, I help you to become confident in German. Having fun while learning a new language is one important pillar to my experience. I give my best to create an atmosphere that helps you to engage in conversations with me and with others. Occasionally I use individually prepared worksheets as a support for our conversations.

I generally focus on the individual needs of my students. Be it preparing for a job interview, getting ready to live in a German speaking country, or learning German just for fun, I adjust my lessons to whatever you need so that you are able to speak, to read and to write in German. I am also happy to figure it out together in case you need help with the right approach.

So, in case I made you a little curious … Why do you not book a trial lesson with me and give it a try?

I have taught all levels at our national university language lab and privately. Also, I prepare for international examinations: *Goethe A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2, *TELC, *DSH, *Occupation Medicine B2-C1, *Workplace/occupation A2-B1, *Children A1-A2.

These are communicative, state-of-the-art and highly efficient classes that comprehensively integrate the four learning abilities of listening and reading comprehension, oral and written expression, but without compromising on the required grammar. That's because I have all the suitable tools at our disposal. In addition to the class and workbooks, we use an interactive PDF-whiteboard. We have numerous audio and video tracks, as well as other very efficient interactive tools. Levels range from beginner to advanced, from A1 to C2. 

My approach is systematic but flexible, fully adapting to the learning pace of each student, so that they feel comfortable. And of course, I also try to make the class enjoyable and entertaining without leaving the academic objectives aside. In this sense, I know that most of you will need an international diploma at some point, and the methods I use are also aimed at this objective, as well as preparing you for colloquial communication in a new cultural environment. Every language is also a new culture, a new world.

I am looking forward to meeting you and showing you this new world in German. See you soon at the trial lesson. Bye!
 

Hallo!

My name is Marie and I'd like to help you to improve your German.

I was born and raised in Germany so I'm a native German speaker. Currently I'm living in France and work here as a teacher for German as a second and foreign language. 

For more than seven years I have been teaching German now in Germany and in France and with a lot of passion and joy for all levels and ages. It's a big pleasure for me to get to know so many cultures and people by teaching. Because of my stay in France, I speak French and of course also English.

In my classes I set the focus on you as an individual learner. So I prepare every lesson individually based on your personal needs. We will do various types of grammar exercises, reading comprehensions and of course we'll also talk a lot. I'm also having a lot of experience in successfully preparing students for German certificates (Goethe, telc) in all levels. You will benefit from my years of experience as I have a lot of learning material for all kinds of needs and occasions. 

German might be a bit challenging sometimes but believe me there is a logical reason for everything. Let me show and explain you the German grammar and I'm sure you will see how logical and beautiful German can be. 

So let's explore the beauty of German together and I'd love to meet you for a trial session!

Ich freue mich auf dich!
