About Me
italki teacher since Jul 5, 2016
I am a certified examiner for TestDaF and telc. I specialise in test preparation.
I had been teaching German at one of the leading language schools in Berlin for over six years to build my teaching skills and experience. I hold a Magister (German equivalent to the master's degree) in Germanistics (German language, literature, and history) from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2001) and a teaching certificate of German as a foreign language from Goethe-Institut München (2010). Before becoming a language teacher, I was a journalist for six years at a local newspaper in Potsdam.
Me as a Teacher
Language lessons can be fun, but language-learning is certainly time-consuming and occasionally frustrating. I am therefore aiming at establishing collaborative relationships with my clients to keep them inspired and motivated throughout the journey.
It would be a great honour and pleasure for me to participate in your language and/or career project(s). I look forward to working together with you!
My lessons & teaching style
I offer both general and intensive German language courses, and specific classes of grammar, conversation, writing, test preparation, proofreading, presentation/interview preparation and application training.
My focus is on intermediate and advanced German learners, who need a higher level of accuracy and fluency in terms of exposition, argumentation and self-expression.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Robert is a truly outstanding teacher of German who works to the highest professional standards. He works hard to target his lessons at my own individual needs and learning style. As a result, I am building a broad language-base whilst also targeting particularly pressing needs. The feedback from each session means I can use my self-study time and conversation classes more efficiently. I recommend Robert without reservation to anyone thinking of investing in professional language training on italki.

I've worked with many German teachers online, and I can unequivocally state that Robert is the best in the business. He is highly knowledgeable, not only about the German language, but also about many, many other topics, which means we always have plenty to talk about. He helps me to build sentences that are grammatically correct and clear, and his explanations often provide a bit of background information to help me understand why a word or phrase is the way it is. He is patient and affirming, and he clearly enjoys teaching, which make him a real pleasure to work with.
