About Me

italki teacher since Oct 29, 2020

Hello there, my name is Julius and I am originally from Cologne, Germany, but I grew up speaking both English and German. I love travelling and after having been to over 35 countries, I am currently living in Phuket, Thailand. For the past three years I have worked as a professional Scuba Diving Instructor. For me, the most exciting part of travelling is learning about new cultures and languages, and of course meeting new people. So I hope that I can do the same here on italki!

Me as a Teacher

I discovered my passion for teaching not by teaching languages but by teaching new concepts. Working as a Scuba Diving Instructor put me in the position of having to teach more complex ideas to students often unfamiliar with them. From there, I became inspired to teach in a more traditional classroom setting. After completing a 120-hour TEFL course, I gained some classroom experience teaching English in a primary school. During this time, I learned a lot about how to engage with students and react to their individual needs.

My lessons & teaching style

I have been there. Learning a new language can be difficult and at times very frustrating. Spending hours on apps to improve your vocabulary and pronunciation can be helpful, but nothing compares to actually having a conversation in the language you are trying to learn. That is where I come in. I will try to make our lessons fun by adapting them not only to your pace and fluency level but also to your interests and goals. In my experience, students are much more motivated when they are practice speaking about subjects they are actually interested in, and in turn it makes the idea of learning a new language a little less intimidating.

Julius was very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable. I appreciated that he got to know me and my level and answered some questions about the language I came into the lesson with.

I took a package with Julius, all the lessons were very interesting and entertaining. We talked about a lot of topics. Julius corrected me when needed. Most of the time the conversation was flowing! I recommend Julius as a German teacher.
