The best online German speaking tutors

For several years now, I have had numerous video calls with people from many countries of all continents including a lot of English, French and Spanish native speakers, practising my own foreign languages and helping them to improve their German. So if you speak any of the languages mentioned above, I can assure you that I am very well aware of the typical challenges you encounter with regards to German grammar and pronunciation. I prefer an informal and relaxed teaching style. Besides my passion for languages, I enjoy reading, running, travelling, photography, psychology, philosophy, learning about different lifestyles and cultures, and many more.

My main concern is that you get out of the lessons what you expect and what your goal is.

Since 2007, I have been teaching German as a foreign language in Taipei, Taiwan to Chinese native speakers. Because I had had an interest in the Chinese language and culture for many years, in 2005 I moved to Taiwan to learn Mandarin Chinese. At some point during my stay I had to start looking for work and ended up teaching German at a local language center. Right from the start I loved teaching German and since then have kept on working as a language instructor with a passion, gaining experience over the years and keeping up with improving my skills and expanding my knowledge up to this day.

I have done a lot of language and linguistics related things at university, and I have worked part-time as a language teacher and tutor since the age of 16, gradually moving into more challenging positions, like teaching German to immigrants and business people, and tutoring university students in Latin and Ancient Greek. I have never formally qualified as a teacher, but I take teaching very seriously - while making it fun and inspiring at the same time! :)

I come from a family of teachers. I had several opportunities to teach English to primary school classes. In my time as an Au pair in the USA, I also had my host kids as my first German students.

I've been teaching German for over 20 years. I support students traveling & studying abroad, business people, expatriates and people living in German-speaking countries . I teach at all levels, from beginner to advanced.

*I only accept intermediate and above students who can already speak some German* Ich habe einige Erfahrung dabei meinen Freunden und Sprachpartnern zu helfen ihr Deutsch zu verbessern allerdings bin Ich keine professionelle Lehrkraft. Deswegen kann und werde ich nur dabei helfen dein gesprochenes Deutsch zu verbessern und natürlicher zu machen. Natürlich kann Ich auch dabei helfen zB. deine Texte zu korrigieren.

My lessons will be conversational for pupils with intermediate or advanced German skills (B1 - C1). My main goal is to teach you German in a fun way, where you aren't afraid of speaking and making mistakes. First we will set your goal, then I will help you to reach it. To actually speak a new language is problably the hardest part. Therefore I belief it's important to focus on topics you are interested in. I want to teach you how German is actually spoken, rather teaching you "textbook" German. Please note: I don't teach children or teens.

I am experienced with working with people of all ages. I enjoy working with students in groups and one-to-one sessions and love seeing them improve their german through my encouragement and tenacity. Fun is important and to create every lesson as unique as possible. I like to use role-plays and photocards in the lessons as that keeps the lessons exciting. Also, I use texts that are of interest to my students because I have improved my English grammar with reading. Most importantly it's the relaxed conversations in German I have with my students that improve my student's skills and gives them the confidence they need.

I am convinced that learning a new language in a natural way like children do, is the best and most efficient way to speak on a native level. You don't have to struggle with endless amounts of grammar exercises, studying grammar books or long lists of vocabulary in order to gain fluidity. Before children learn about grammar rules in school they are about 10 years and speak fluently. I have been tutoring children and teenagers for six years now and concentrating on conversations mostly as well as keeping them motivated is one of the most essential tools. Seeing my students making progress and achieving their goal within only a short time is an incredibly rewarding experience!

Fortunately, in these last four years, I had the opportunity to give private lessons to children and teenagers of different ages and of different levels several times. I taught English, Spanish and German. I am often described as a very patient and organized person. What I like the most about teaching is to see the processes that the student goes through day after day, and above all how he/she gains confidence day by day. Since I had studied Philology I also have many bibliographic references, both in literary books and also in grammar. Another thing I like a lot is the reciprocal process of teaching and learning.

Ich kann dir als Lehrkraft meine Kenntnisse in anderen Sprachen vermitteln und dir sogar etwas helfen, falls du Fragen in einer dieser Sprachen hast. Wir werden ein Gespräch über egal was ihr wollt halten. Ihr sucht euch das Thema aus und wir reden zusammen! Selbstverständlich ist der Unterricht nach deinem Wunsch zusammengesetzt, das heißt der Unterricht wird gestaltet so wie du es haben willst. English Version: As a teacher, I can impart my knowledge of other languages to you and I can even help you if you have questions in one of these languages. We'll have a conversation about whatever you want. You choose the topic and we will talk together! My lessons are student-centered!

因为我很喜欢人， 我比较容易了解怎么能帮助他们。每一个学生不同。我的方法就是跟他聊他的目标是什么。 以后我们一起考虑 一个计划， 包括格局， 时间和锻炼。 这样学生习惯德福考试的内容， 有安全感而且在适当的时候马上知道要做什么。如果只有注意德福考试， 很重要就是学生已经得到好的B2或更好C1. 这样准备的时间不需要非常多。如果还没达到那个水平，没事，可以锻炼多一点。 另外我也觉得交谈非常重要，所以这个也是一个方法可以锻炼。需要说，我的学生们大部分是成人。 Because I like people very much, it is easier for me to understand how to help them. Every student is different. My method is to talk to them about their goals. So we will consider a plan together, including the pattern, time and exercise. In this way, students are used to the content of the TestDaF/Goethe/Telc test, feel safe and know what to do at the appropriate time. If the student only pay attention to the TestDaF, it is very important that the student has alre

For me as German teacher it is very important that your German improves by having conversations . Also can I help in grammar questions and I am specialized in German for Business and Academic German writing for Universities. I’m here to help you to boost your German level and trying to gain your confidence in speaking German.

Tengo experiencia enseñando por internet. Me gusta enseñar según el método "aprender al practicar" siempre y cuando se base en buena preparación de antemano. Ich habe Erfahrung mit Online Unterricht. Ich unterrichte am liebsten nach der Methode „Learning by doing“ solange es sich auf gute Vorbereitung stützt. I have experience with online classes. I prefer teaching through "learning by doing" as long as it is based on good preparation.

Why should you work with me? Speaking a foreign language enables you not only to get to know the culture better, but also opens up opportunities to you e.g. standing out in job interviews, studying or working abroad. If you are looking to study or work in Germany, you should consider taking Business German or German for Academic Purposes lessons with me. I have worked in Management Consulting, Finance and HR roles before, so I can additionally prepare you for job interviews and business travel.

For years I have been teaching friends and have learned several languages myself. Therefore I know the difficulties of learning a language and not give up on it.

I would like to be the part of your language journey. I can teach you German in English or French, as I speak both of these languages fluently. I would like to know your goals. I am very flexible and adaptable. We can focus on grammar, speaking, preparing for the "Goethe-Zertifikat" whatever you wish. The most important for me is that you feel comfortable in your approach learning the language. I have over 6 years of experience teaching german. I started when I was in school helping students who struggled, continued with helping students pass the "Abitur" and since two years I give private lessons to french students who want to improve their German.

I have been a Teacher on italki for several years. Before that I studied languages at the University (English, Spanish, French). I have a certificate for teaching languages to adult learners, but my experience expands to helping younger students with their school subjects (History, Literature and foreign languages). I also helped students from all over the world (mostly doctors and software developers) with job applications in Germany. If you would like to kickstart your learning journey, or if you are stuck and need some help pushing further, if you are looking for a job but are having trouble with writing (motivational) letters or CVs, I can help you!

In my experience the biggest problem with learning a language is that the students think they need to get it perfectly right every time they say something. This stops you from talking freely, and makes you fal short of your full potential. In my lessons, I will encourage you to speak without being afraid of making mistakes. I offer different kinds of lessons, some follow a course structure, others are only focused on conversation. Of course it's also possible to mix a structural approach with free speaking.
