About Me
italki teacher since Jul 25, 2019
You would like to improve your German for an everyday situation or pass the next Goethe certificate? You want to learn with a practical approach and with topics relevant and enjoyable for you? Congratulations, you have just found your language coach! My name is Lukas, an experienced native German teacher from Cologne. After starting my teaching career as a Community Tutor, I dedicated 2019/2020 towards becoming a professional certified teacher. During that period, I also acquire excellent syntax and vocab knowledge. My experience, a broad variety of interests as well as my degree in DaF/DaZ helps me to teach you flexibly in interesting conversations tailored to your personal needs.
Me as a Teacher
I design my lessons according to your needs and interests along with the latest didactic approaches to ensure fast and expedient learning. My focus is on advanced German learners, who aim for a higher level of accuracy and fluency in terms of exposition, argumentation, and self-expression.
What can you expect from me as a teacher?
✔ conversation approach adjusted to your goals
✔ Fun and diversified lessons with interactive content
✔ Prep material to get ready for our lesson
✔ simple explanations of complicated things
✔ advice on general learning strategies to boost your learning curve
✔ review: summary at the end of the class
My lessons & teaching style
In our lesson, you are in the driver's seat, not me. Having a good laugh from time to time will keep it fun! To give you the best possible learning experience I follow one powerful principle: KISS (keep it simple, stupid). Breaking down grammar and vocabulary for you, so you can speak German from day one about topics you want. Ask me anything about grammar or vocab at any time during our class. Let us find out together what interests you most. Zoom and Google Documents help us to make notes and keep all our study material in one place. Feel free to schedule your trial lesson with me. Looking forward to seeing you at our lesson!

Lukas is always very well-prepared and provides students with creative and suitably challenging activities that effectively boost students' German proficiency. Not only does he clearly demonstrate professional teaching skills and observe students' performance in great detail, he also makes sure that each lesson is perfectly tailored for students' needs. Highly recommended, benefited a lot, one of the best German teachers I've ever seen.

Lukas contributed drastically to improvement of my German speaking skills (personal goal). What I really appreciate about him, is that he identifies individual interests and customizes the course accordingly. He is always punctual, very well prepared, ready to give a helping hand and of course so much fun. I sincerely enjoyed every single session.
