The best German tutors for you

I began teaching in 2004 at a Waldorf school in southern England. I taught a variety of humanities, including German, English, and French. I have also worked in translations for many years, which has helped me to learn the subtleties of expression in the languages I use. I believe in learning naturally, without studying rules and structure (none of us do this with our first language, after all!). I have always enjoyed seeing progress in others, and facilitating this in an effortless way is something I find very rewarding. I have also taught theatre, as well as worked with disadvantaged young people, focusing on motivation, self-esteem and self-confidence.

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.

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!

I have worked as a language teacher on almost all levels (except with toddlers and children). I have taught groups and individuals at university and school level as well as in business environments. Many of my current clients are from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Furthermore, I love languages and constantly try new methods for my own language learning to put me in the shoes of the learner.

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!

I have been a volunteer German tutor since 2017 and have worked with individuals aged 13 and above ranging from beginner to advanced language level. I am also happy to help with exam preparation, and provide guidance on specific tasks and proofread your work (texts, essays etc.) or help with improving your writing style, vocabulary and grammar.

I like to teach beginners (A1 to B1) and help them make their first steps in German or English. I am very patient and supportive, so there is absolutely no need to be nervous. It is your class and we create it as useful and fun as possible for you! I have a 150 hours TESOL certificate and more than 4 years of experience teaching German.

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.

As a teacher I am a huge disciple of learning while speaking and love to give examples of context and situation. A structural approach to learning a new language is key. Grammar and vocabularies are mandatory while often more easily learned by heart through stories and repeated use. It is most important to have a good time and to have fun while learning, as well as keeping my teaching goal oriented towards your needs. I will have to get to know your goals so that we can figure out an individual learning plan for you while I guide you through the different levels of competence.

As a teacher I aim to create a safe space for you, where you can be yourself and freely express your needs. The more you share your expectations with me, the more I'll be able to adapt myself and my teaching style to you. I'm patient, don't be ashamed to ask me to repeat and explain something, I'll do it as many times you need it. After all, your success is also mine, because it's a sign that I'm doing things right.

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

Ich begann mit dem Unterrichten von Hochdeutsch 2017 während eines Auslandssemesters. Als ich Italki entdeckte, spezialisierte ich mich auf Zürcherdeutsch und helfe seither Einwanderern bei ihrer Integration in der Schweiz. Das Level variiert dabei von Beginnern bis hinzu Fortgeschrittenen. Aus Mangel an guten Unterrichtsmaterialien habe ich im Verlauf der Jahre meinen eigenen Kurs mit einer Vielzahl verschiedener Übungstypen zusammengestellt. Ich biete auch weiterhin Unterricht in Hochdeutsch an und kann eventuell auch bei weiteren Schweizer Dialekten weiterhelfen.

Certified native teacher with 10 years experience and background in customer and financial services. My teaching style is goal-oriented and tailored to individual needs. My classes are well-prepared and structured with the freedom to adjust to your progress. It is most important for me that you feel safe and free to make mistakes and at the same time experience a sense of achievement. After defining your needs I make sure to help you achieve them through: - A thorough analysis of your sticking points - language teaching for your conversational or job-specific needs - using authentic and relevant materials - an emphasise on your pronunciation and the application of relevant phrases and expressions

?WIE UNTERRICHTET MAGGIE? HOW DOES MAGGIE TEACH? ? Interactive, motivating and structured is the description of my teaching style. I encourage my students to talk, give them a learning structure and also make them confident to use the language. I also prepare students for exams and give them homework, if they want. I see myself more as a German language coach (rather than a teacher) to set individual goals and to get the best out of every student. I am also flexible to teach you individual topics (vocabularies, topics, grammar, etc.), if requested. ?In the lesson I communicate AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE in German with you. ?Während der Stunde wird SO VIEL WIE MÖGLICH Deutsch gesprochen.

ich bin eine geduldige Lehrerin und lasse dem Schüler Zeit in aller Ruhe die Sätze zu konstruieren. Das grösste Problem ist, finde ich, dass Leute sich unter Druck gefühlt setzen eine Sprache in kurzer Zeit beherrschen zu müssen und schnell in selbiger Sprache antworten zu müssen. Wenn man sich weniger unter Druck gesetzt fühlt, kann man sich auch besser ausdrücken.

I'm a native German teacher who has been teaching German for 4 years. My specializations are: GOETHE TEST PREPARATION, GERMAN FOR WORK (Switzerland, Germany) and PRONUNCIATION.

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.

Seit Jahren bin ich als Lehrkraft im Bereich Kunst aktiv und leite eine Private Kunstakademie. Ich gebe seit meinem Studienabschluss (Meisterschülerin) als Malerin entsprechenden Unterricht und war auch Dozentin an einer Kunsthochschule in Norddeutschland. My experience in teaching comes through my work in the field of art. I'm running a private Art Academy. Since finishing my university degree in the art of painting I'm giving classes in that field. I also used to work for an art school (university) in Northern Germany.

As a teacher I would love to help you improve in your conversational skills and as I am fairly young I am also very familiar with slang and youth culture, in case you wish to learn natural German. I am really looking forward to teach and to interact with students and I hope to see your abilities grow.

I will appreciate if my students keep time. If you happen to be more than 10 minutes late, kindly take into consideration that the lesson might not take place. German, English or Swahili; speaking is the easiest way to learning a language. It is best for you to state your language needs so as we may work around that. You will be able to practice what you learnt in school.
