Looking for a friendly partner to practice your German? I offer engaging and patient lessons tailored for adults and teens (16+). Since I lived in the U.S. for seven years, I know firsthand how challenging—and rewarding—learning a new language can be!

I focus mainly on conversational skills. Together, we’ll explore interesting topics, build your vocabulary, and help you feel truly confident speaking German. For me, enjoyment is a huge part of the process, so I make sure our sessions are always lively and encouraging. I also use personalized worksheets to keep our conversations on track.

Every student is unique. Whether you’re prepping for a career move or just learning for a hobby, I’ll customize our lessons to fit your needs.

If you're interested, why not book a trial lesson? I’d love to help you reach your goals!

Hello, my name is Luca-Curtis, I am 29 years old and live in changing countries in Asia.

Until recently, I was employed as a teacher at a school for two years, teaching German as a foreign and second language and physical education from 5th to 10th grade. I spent one year alone in Asia- and one year in Africa, gaining experience in teaching there. I was teaching at the time as part of volunteer work and also privately.

If someone were to describe me, they would say that I am funny, professional, patient and attentive.

I love to travel, be at festivals and do sports (all sports).

I am certified by the Goehte Institute and have over 5 years of experience in teaching German as a foreign and second language.

I taught children and teenagers from 10 - 18 years old for two years.

Adults of all ages, backgrounds and religions.

Trial lesson:

We discuss your language goals and I explain how you can achieve them.  

Of course, we also get to know each other a little and see if the chemistry between us fits.  

I will also recommend a book that we will work with in the following lessons. If you already have a book, it would be no problem to use this one (if you have been happy with it so far).  

The lessons:

Of course, this depends on your objective and cannot be generalized here.

In general, you will talk a lot and I will correct you. Orally and in writing. We will keep a record of all corrections in GoogleDocs, which will also be available to you after our lessons, so that you can always refer back to it. 

My goal is to help you and achieve your personal goal together with you. Feel free to write me if you have a question and are unsure if I can help you with it.  

I look forward to hearing from you and if you decide against a trial lesson, I still wish you much success in learning the German language! :)

Hello,

my name is Florentin, I've been teaching German for the last 10 years, working both with groups and 1-on-1.

Maybe the most important aspect for me is the atmosphere in which you can be at ease and speak freely without any fear of making mistakes. Mistakes are not only a part of the process, but have to be made and will help your understanding. Our class is a safe space where you can express yourself exactly as you do now and ask all the questions you may have.

In a session we might converse while refining your German language skills, go over your texts together, rehearse an exam and get you ready for a German language certificate test or job interview, take a clarifying look into any specific topic you feel confused about etc. 

All these activities, that can be fun, can also help us see what is needed for you to advance.

We can use my materials and you are also welcome to bring whatever you would like to work with.

More about me:
I initially started teaching German after a one-year journey through South America which I undertook after graduating from university. During these travels I learned Spanish and subsequently got the task of offering tuition to students at university who were struggling with reading academic texts in German. Thereafter I started teaching all German levels to different groups at university and also to students individually and have been doing so for over 10 years now, in-person and online. I've also been leading translation groups and lecturing on other language topics like language philosophy. 
Living and teaching German in other countries for several years gave me deeper insight both into learning languages and into my own mother tongue and during that time I naturally adopted the role of a bridge between cultures and languages. 

I speak English and Spanish fluently and one of these languages could serve as additional support for our work together in case we share it :)

Hi! I'm Tabea. I was born in Heidelberg (Germany) and I grew up in Spain, so I am bilingual in German and Spanish.

I started working as a German tutor in 2017, while I was still travelling a lot between Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece and the UK. I soon found out that I really enjoyed online teaching, since I had the chance to meet people from all over the world. I love learning things about other cultures and languages, as well as improving my teaching skills.

My lessons are quite flexible: I believe there is not only one method for learning a language. Students can be very different and even one person won't feel the same way every day. Therefore I take care to adapt each lesson to my students' needs. Do you feel you need a little help in conversation? Let's pick different topics and practise your speaking/listening abilities. Or are you stuck with grammar? Let's sit down and answer all your questions step by step.

German is a very rich language and sometimes it can be challenging, so there might be ups and downs on the road. But the harder you push yourself, the more rewarding it will be when you reach your goals!

If you are interested in taking German lessons, I'd love to meet you for 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.

Hi there,

My name is Christine. I’m half German, half Belgian, and I have lived in Mexico for 19 years. I have been a teacher for 16 years and I have taught different subjects and languages, such as English, German, Spanish, world history, and geography.  My teaching approach depends on the student's level and interests. That being said, I believe that conversation is an important part of learning a language, and so I often focus on conversation or question-answer sessions in my classes. I love teaching and I always aim to make classes interesting.

I currently use the Netzwerk textbook and workbook by Klett (for A1 level), but I am open to working with other books as well. 

My Spanish level is excellent. I speak Latin American Spanish, but I know the grammar for Spanish from both Spain and Latin America.

Hope to meet you soon!

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

I'm Josephine, and I help international professionals find their voice in the German workplace.

I teach them to advocate for themselves and enjoy living in Germany.

• Have you worked here for years, understood everything in meetings, but frozen when it was your turn to speak?
• Do you want to negotiate a better salary at your next review or understand why your German colleagues seem so direct? That's where I come in!

I speak five languages and have lived and worked in several countries, so I understand the learner's perspective and the professional's perspective of trying to thrive in a culture that isn't their own. Outside of teaching, I'm a documentary photographer who has visited over 30 countries, and I play flag football. I love good conversations, and I design my lessons around them.

I am a certified DaF (Deutsch als Fremdsprache) teacher, Goethe-Institut certified, and I have taught learners from A1 to C1 levels, from complete beginners to advanced professionals refining their final 10%.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Specialized Translation (Economics), an MBA in Marketing and Data Management, and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Information Law.This combination is particularly relevant to my focus area: Business German. I understand not just the language, but also the world in which you operate — contracts, compliance, negotiations, and corporate communication. My teaching method is communicative and task-based. You will speak extensively and learn through real-life situations.

My lessons aren't just about speaking German more fluently. They're about what you can do with your German skills.

• You'll speak up in meetings, and your words will carry weight.
• You'll negotiate salary and working conditions in German with the right phrasing without selling yourself short.
• You'll understand the unwritten rules of German work culture, such as why feedback sounds so blunt, how hierarchies actually function, and when to use "Du" versus "Sie."
• You'll write emails that sound professional, not stiff, not too casual, but just right.
• You'll feel at home in Germany, both at work and outside of it.

My lessons are structured yet relaxed, and every session is tailored to your goals. I'd love to meet you soon!
